I have an odd question (perhaps!) to ask.
I have two dishes. On dish 1 have 3 lnbs on a multiblock bracket, going through a 4-way Diseqc switch to the receiver. It works well.
Dish 2 was on a motor which has packed up, and rather than replace it I'm going to put another couple of LNBs on it - I have a couple of old spare LNBs, a 4-way switch and a small multi bracket, so it'll not cost anything.
Problem is that if I do this, I'll have feeds from 6 LNBs, but only 2x 4-way switches. Is there any way of getting all 6 feeds to the receiver using the 2x 4-ways, or will I need a bigger switch, perhaps an 8-way? I'm having a little difficulty finding one which doesn't have to be sent from China or Hong Kong, and those I have seen seem to have a bigger insertion loss than the 4-ways.
Thanks.
