My System: 2 x Deltech 24x7 Receivers 1.8mtr mesh dish (C) 90cm solid dish & H-H motor (KU) Satlook Micro G2

Hi turgut,

I am trying to understand what you want to achieve. If you have a motorised dish then only one receiver should control the motor. The fact that you have two receivers and a splitter makes it complicated in my opinion.

I can suggest the following:

A dual lnb to hook up to the second receiver, ie. the one port of the lnb goes via the motor to receiver 1(Dreambox), and the second port on the lnb to receiver 2(FTA Unit).

This will work but you have to consider that the channels you wish to view will have to be on the same satellite as the dish is pointed to. In simple terms, if you select a channel on the Dreambox which controls the motor and you are now positioned on Turksat for example, if you are watching channel-x, you cannot expect to receive signals from another satellite on your FTA unit - but you will be able to watch via your FTA receiver channel-y that is available on Turksat, meaning that you will be able to have two different channels active on the two televisions.

Alternatively, you can keep the current LNB and maybe loop through from the 'LNB out' on one receiver to the 'LNB in' on the other. What you need to remember once again is that only one receiver should be set for "motorised antenna" and the other should be set to "fixed antenna".

As for the splitter, I am not sure why you have that in the configuration.

I am not an expert on this, but this is the way/s I would think possible.

Can anyone perhaps adivse further???
