[QUOTE="Yorks, post: 784163, member: 191461"] It's been a while since my last installation and I want to change things a bit :-ohcrap:- I want to connect 2 receivers (one will be upstairs) to my motorised dish and both receivers also to a fixed dish. I don't need to use/view the motorised dish from both receivers at the same time - so a single lnb would do I think. However, I would like to be able to move the dish from whichever receiver is using it at the time. I also want to be able to view the static dish from both receivers at the same time using a twin lnb, and I also want the option to view static dish on one receiver and motorised on the other.:confused: First, the easy bit. 2 feeds (twin lnb) from fixed dish, 1 feed to each receiver (connected at each receiver via 2/1 diseqc switch {LNB A in receiver settings}). Second, the harder bit. 1 feed from diseqc motor, split at pole end using smart priority switch, 1 feed to each receiver (connected at each receiver via 2/1 diseqc switch {LNB B in receiver settings}). _http://www.pulsat.com/products/Digiality-Smart-Priority-Switch.html (would be housed in IP66 enclosure). Theory:- If the master receiver (defined by smart priority switch) selects the motor {LNB B}, the switch would prevent the slave receiver from connecting to motor/moving the dish. If the master receiver selects the static dish {LNB A}, the switch would allow the slave receiver to connect to the motor/move the dish. Would this work - or am I due for another tablet? :-idea Yorks. [/QUOTE]
