[QUOTE="a33, post: 1063695, member: 332642"] I'm thinking of two possible ways to try to overcome this. First: [B]If it doesn't the other way round[/B], switching from C-dish to Ku-dish, [B]try changing port 1 to port 2[/B] for Ku-dish (so port 1 as [B]default[/B] port is not used anymore). Does this help? Second: For the two step switching procedure I described earlier, [B]add[/B] (in your receiver) a [B]fictive[/B] C-band satellite and a fictive Ku-band satellite, both with a program attached to that satellite. Define these satellites with the proper diseqc 1.0-command for C and Ku, [B]but without motor command![/B] Then for changing motor-dishes, always [B]first[/B] choose the fictive program of the wanted dish, and only after that select the wanted program. So the motor command is always sent only after the proper dish is chosen by the diseqc 1.0 switch. If this procedure is too troublesome for you, a manual A/B switch or 0/12V switch would indeed also be a good (less-automatic) solution. [I]Edit: but they have the same risk of moving the wrong dish, when you forgot to use the switch![/I] BTW I don't quite understand this [I]"This upset some of the sat positions on KU band."[/I] How can the [B]stored[/B] diseqc 1.2 positions be disturbed by [B]move[/B]-commands? Otherwise restore by sending the command Goto-0 or Goto-Reference. Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
