[QUOTE="Yorks, post: 784306, member: 191461"] I have connected both receivers to the motor via a manual A/B switch and both drive the motor when switched. I have tested using DiSEqC 1.2 and USALS. Both protocols worked fine! :- [U]Lounge test[/U] Connected both receivers to motor using manual A/B switch. Connected both receivers to separate HDMI inputs on tv. Turned on both receivers. Moved motor to 28.2E using receiver 1 connected via switch 'A' Switched to receiver 2 via switch 'B'. Moved motor to 13E using receiver 2. Switched to receiver 1 via switch 'A'. Motor immediately moved back to 28.E (initial position). I tried both USALS and DiSEqC 1.2 and both worked. I selected several satellite positions and the motor moved to position every time. So here's the $64,000 question. Would this work using a 2/1 DiSEqC switch and smart priority switch in place of the A/B switch??? Yes, I think that's the case with a lot of receivers. They need to at least be in standby to route the signal. Some receivers don't even relay it if in 'power saving' standby mode. [/QUOTE]
