moveable dish on port 4 of diseqc sw.

[shelby]

I have apansat 2500a with a dave gainmaster 75cm dish with3 independent lnb's. I have the 4 port open on my diseqc switch and was wondering if I can hook up motor and dish to this port and have 3 fixed lnb's with 1 moveable?

Yes, but diseqc switch must be installed between lnfs and the motor.

no it doesnt. I have a motorized unit and 3 fixed dishes and it goes
LNB----motor----DiSEqC switch---receiver

and it works fine

Ice;...so, the motorized dish goes from the motor to the disecq,and the fixed dishes go straight to the disecq,and this works well?TIA.

Michael is right if you are using a motorized dish with 2 or more LNBFS on the dish. The switch in this case must be between the motor and LNBFs.

Sadoun;...AAHHAH!..so if the movable dish has MULTIPLE lnb's,it MUST go to the switch first.Now that makes sense.Thank you,Jedi Master!
