[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 880986, member: 325666"] Well fwiw I cann0t slag this 10-1 switch off enough .. I guess it's ok if you just want to switch 10 lnbs on one dish using diseqc 1.1 ..but if you want to cascade it you will have issues ..and not just with ports 9 and 10 .. Simply issueing a diseqc 1.0 command regardless of a 4 port diseqc 1.0 switch being in the system ..shuts down the switch totally .. Using the F15 ..I selected diseqc 1.1 port 2 which for me accesses the C band lnb .. Great ..I get a signal ... Now I select diseqc 1.0 (2) and diseqc 1.1 (2) ...ie cascade mode .. Signal vanishes .. Turn off the diseqc 1.0 signal in the menu ...back comes the picture.. This switch is _supposed_ to be set up to respond to Diseqc 1.1 ..but is clearly responding to the diseqc 1.0 signal as well .. Making it totally useless to me ..and indeed anyone who wants to cascade ... another lump of junk for my bits box.. Doh! Will I ever learn ... Back to the Gecen ..which only has 8 ports but works flawlessly in cascade mode.. rgds VS Back to planning a cascade system with 2 x 8 port gecens cascaded through 1x 4 port diseqc 1.0 switch ..which _may_ just work ..but suspect the losses might be too great.. Only time will tell... [/QUOTE]
