Toridial T90 multible lnbfs to 4 receivers

buck12 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-17-2006, 11:23 PM

Just bought a T90 and want to put as many lnbfs as possible if I put as many as they say I can which is 16 what would be the best way to wire them so that all receivers can use all 16 lnbfs and work at the same time. Will dual lnbfs work, and is there some disqec out there that will do all the splitting with out so many connections and then feed the receivers. Any help on lnbfs and disqec, amplifier, and fta receivers. I really don't want to put alot 4x1 diqec if i can help unless I have to. I'm sure someone has done what i"m attempting to do. To many in household for movable dish this will solve alot of problems.

check out www.sadoun.com
under technical support he has a diagram for multi receivers and lnb's hook ups.

I've seen the wiring diagrams and they all 4 x 1 disqec are there larger disqec that you can get so you don't have to use so many 4 x 1 disqec so your feeding one disqec to another just to the numbers wire down so you can finally run into 5 x 8 multiswitch. Iam concerned about singal loss with so many 4 x 1 disqec. And if you can use 8 x 1 disqec and will the receiver support it.

I don't know if the receivers will support it or not most only allow for 4 disqec ports. I seen somewhere a 8 way disqec switch just don't remember where right now.

Every US receiver I have seen will only support 4 DiSeqC channels. I have no clue as to how you could chain multiple together as if you sent the signal for port 1 it would be port 1 all the way down the line. Have never seen anything in any menu that would support the ability to switch between 16 lnbf's. My BEC would allow for making up to 32 lnbf entries BUT does not have the ability to switch between all 32.

I'm going to trysaeting it up like one diagrams they have on the tech support part of this site in which they are using 8 dual lnbfs. and going in to 4x1 disqec with one side and same for the other side. then going from that to a multiswitch then to the receivers. The only thing different is that I will have to use another series of 4X1 disqec for the additional 8 lnbfsand another series of 4x1 to get the number wires down to go into the multisitch and what it looks like they arre putting one side on 22 so that you can do verticle and or horizontal on that specific lnbf. As far as the satellite which knowing which lnbf to turn that should be done with frequency of that particulre satllite. Now having said that if I'm wrong hope somebody will tell me where I'm wrong at. It'll save me alot of work. Somebody has bound to have done what I am attempting to do. So if you know, let us know.

While I am not going to say it can not be done I will say I have never heard of any receiver hunting through lnbf's for signal. The command is given from the receiver as to which path to follow through the switches to the lnbf that is suppossed to have the signal.

I am very curious as to how to set this monster up your propose though as I have often wondered how to make use of the 32 lnbf inputs on my BEC receiver.
