Hi Good afternoon
1. Using a two way splitter cause any signal strength problems.
2. Can I use two receivers on motorised dish.
Thank you in advance if anyone can answer
 
It will not work as it is only for use with Digital Terrestrial signals via an aerial not for use with Satellite TV the way you have mentioned,
You need an A/B manual switch.

It’s on amazon someone mentioned in review that he is using with motorised dish
 
It's probably a bogus review. Signal splitters do not work for satellite reception except for some very special circumstances.
 
What is the best solution
 
As William-1 says, an A/B switch. Although these do not work well with a motorised dish. Maybe USALS but probably nothing else.
 
What kind of A/B switch
Where to buy ?
 
You could possibly use a stacker/destacker, they do one which is DiSEqC compatible, you just need to install a twin LNB.
 
Why not an 'automatic A/B-switch': a sat priority switch (or 'master-slave switch')?

Several setups are possible, with single LNB or twin LNB, all depending on what you want. You are not very elaborate on what you want.....

Edit: solution for a 2 receivers - 1 motor - twin LNB is e.g. here (in dutch!):

Quad LNB op draaibare schotel

Hallo, ik ben bang dat ik het antwoord al weet maar zal het nooit zeker weten als ik het niet vraag. Ik heb een draaibare schotel gemonteerd en een quad LNB erop gezet. Uitgang 1 van de LNB is doorgelusd via de motor en die gaat vervolgens naar mijn hoofd satelliet ontvanger. Uitgang 2 heb ik ver...

In that case a Smart Priority Switch like this one should work. I have 5 in the dish farm system ATM, and they are certainly OK for controlling both DiSEqC 1.1 switches and USALS motors using both my TM5402 M3 and SX88+ as the two receivers "in control as required" (but one of them must be OFF/in Standby for the other one to take control).

There is some signal loss, but I've not found that to be a particular issue.

Might do :confused - but since the CPC price is less than £17.50 before VAT, then you would probably have to pay £5 or so for post and packing.

Might do?? They do work very well with no loss, I have the 4 and 8 way versions.. He might get one cheaper off the bay..
