My System: Fortec Star Zeta Receiver, Fraccaro 85cm motorized Dish
Question Multi output LNB & Motor

I want to install a motorized dish with a multi output LNB.
My question is how do I connect the outputs of the lnb and the dish motor? I am connecting to a dual tuner reciever (Zeta).
Is the Fracarro 85 cm dish ok, I'm trying to keep the visual impact as low as possible whilst trying to get the max size permitted in my area?

Hi,

When using an LNB with more than one output, only one output goes to the motor (if it is a DiSEqC), the other outputs just go straight to the receiver/s

My System: Sky+, DB 7000s, Gemini 4.3 in flash, Var on USB stick. Transparent 80cm Dish, Moteck SG2100 DiseqC motor, lots of legacy gear. Meters: Satlook Digital NIT, Unaohm EP313, Swires Annie 204 Spectrum, Rover ST-4 Spectrum.

As Robbo says, plus the motor connection should be on input 1 on the receiver. The Fracarro Penta 85 is a very good dish, was very impressed when I trialled it a few weeks ago.
