Feel free to correct me if i'm wrong here, but isn't a DiesqC switch just a motorised contraption which turns a single dish on a pole - so that it can face towards a different satellite ?

I appreciate that it might seem odd, but the layout of neighbouring buildings and an annoying telegraph pole means that there isn't one point where a single dish could be used on it's own to achieve a clear line of sight with both satellites.

If a DiesqC switch is a device which can switch between 2 dishes, then that sounds like the best solution, but I'm still relatively new to all this and would appreciate some clarification on this if possible.

Thanks again.
