Stab HH90 Motor and A SW24 Switch

I have a STab motor with a Coolsat 6000 hooked up to it. I only have one cable running into the house. I wanted a second receiver in my house. The question I have is can I use a sw24 switch with my motor? Will my motor work for BOTH receivers in my house? I would think I have enough power to run the motor with the cable still even if hooked up to two receivers. Not sure if I am confusing you guys yet lol. Hope to hear from you on this and thanks.

you would confuse the motor trying to run it from 2 receivers so the answer would be no you can't run the motor off of 2 receivers. all you can do is slave the second receiver off of the first or use a dual lnbf and run a seperate line to the second receiver.

So you are saying you could not run one receiver at a time? I thought if you are watching the same satellite you could both watch without confusing the motor? If I run another cable down then I still run into the same trouble of both receivers having to watch the same satellite. Thanks for taking the time to reply.

if you want to watch 2 different sats at the same time you would need a second dish.
