[QUOTE="a33, post: 1063738, member: 332642"] Re menu's: Is it not the case, that in the menu 'motorized settings' you can choose [B]for every satellite[/B] if it has a diseqc 1.2 command or not? So you can possibly define a "Goto C-dish" satellite, and a "Goto Ku-dish" satellite, I guess, with no motor commands; leaving the motor commands for other satellites unchanged? BTW What happens (sub-menu?) if you press OK when on the button 'motor control'? (Do you have a choice for numbers for StoreNn/GotoNn commands? Or can that be done in a channel editor, for your receiver?) A diseqc switch switches the DC-power with (often darlington-pair) transistors, and the RF signal with PIN-diodes. Don't know which path the 22kHz signal takes (could be both?). A diseqc switch would be perfectly suitable for cascading with other diseqc material. (Most switches can handle 500mA, so that is usually no problem.) BTW[B] I would prefer to use a 4/1 switch[/B], as to have the possibility to not use the default port (port 1)! They are not much more expensive than the 2/1 switches. But maybe it makes little difference (for in the earlier link I gave it had no problems). NB For testing reasons of how your switch reacts, I would also try to give the C-dish a diseqc 1.1 command, and also the Ku-dish (another 1.1 command). But that would be trying a lucky shot, if somehow the time of the 1.1+1.0 commands would no longer give time to the diseqc 1.2 command to reach both motorized dishes. I have no sound theory or hypothesis for that, though; I would just test/try it... :D A33 [/QUOTE]
