[QUOTE="a33, post: 1063708, member: 332642"] That is a pity. Though I don't really understand why switching to C causes movenment on Ku, but not the other way round. [I]Edit: still wondering if this is a problem of your specific switch? In this topic it is causing no problem: [URL='https://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/threads/diseqc-1-1-16x1-gecen-gd-1601a.162700/#post-899897']DiSEqC 1.1 16x1 Gecen GD-1601A - SatsUK[/URL][/I] Can you post a picture of the menu options you have? LNB setup menu, and satellite setup menus? I guess you have to define a third LNB. As far as I know, a diseqc 1.2 position is stored in a positioner or diseqc motor as the number of pulses away from zero-point (reference). So if zero is unaltered, the command Goto(position)Nn is always carried out to the correct stored position, not dependant on previous position. Now, a [B]third possible solution[/B] (not having the risk of 'forgetting' to switch to the right dish beforehand): Store all C-band satellite positions as GotoNn in odd numbers in one positioner, and all Ku-band positions as GotoNn in even numbers in the other positioner; leaving the unused numbers EMPTY (or a similar division of GotoNn-numbers). So a motor command will only affect the relevant dish. (I just remembered having read this once, in a forum... :) ) I have at least one receiver that can specify the [I][B]StoreNn[/B][/I]-number[B][I] (edited!)[/I][/B]. Your receiver also? (Maybe this phenomenon is also the cause for the fact that the movement of the other dish is sometimes present in your case, sometimes not: depending on the presence/absence of a GotoNn position?)
