I was just wondering can I connect more than one satellite dish to one receiver.

I asked this question before but rolfw (moderator) told me to search on the forum and which i did but coudnt find anything so I have to ask it again. Also the thread I started got closed.

Yes you can, there are plenty of ways to do it as far as the LNB is concerned, manually with a switch, automatically with an accessory switch, or directly using DiSEqC protocol.

Connecting motorised systems gets a little more difficult

you might actually only need one dish; I have 3 LNBs pointed at 28/19/13 east piped into a DiSEqC stitch <;)> and down into my hüüs and into my elcheapo receiver :)

Well I've just done a search for "multiple", then "multiple LNBs", then just "LNBs", then secondary searches on "switch" and "switch diseqC" and all of them brought up several relevant threads, perhaps those search terms are blocked on the college network tikjisko, oops sorry, I mean dreed.;)

you really should take it in fun dreed, rolfw is only having a laugh. If you dont agree with something he says, offensive or otherwise, report it as a bad post. Granted, it´ll go straight to him, but at least he´ll know how you feel. Rolfw, ignore this bloke unless he asks a question directly to you. Lets avoid any unnessisary abuse on this forum. Be good and play nice boys.

Dreed, stop playing games, we all know you are the poster formerly known as Tolopsia and then reincarnated as tikjisko, both of whom were banned for posting rubbish. Deliberately misspelling the names of your former identities does not convince anyone of your claimed ignorance of these. You post in the identical style, you have now used exactly the same phraseology on at least three occasions, you ask the same generic questions, you refuse to do any research and you are using the same IP batch from the same provider, I rest my case.

If I didn't find your dogged pretence amusing, you would already be gone. :) :-lmao

if i was the person you was talking about maybe you should take it into consideration and respect what other people have to say instead of being rude and insulting them. thats not good man, you gotta give people chances, i'm not saying that i am toplosia which i am not. so far everyone here has been quite decent, but you are the only one that is rude, why? i think you ought to to go some chillin lessons, maybe you can chill out and stop being rude to people, i never was rude to you in any way remember that.

I'll tell you why I have this attitude with you dreed/tolopsia/tikjisko/olaoplso, it's because you don't seem to be able to listen when someone tells you something, you don't seem prepared to put in any spade work to find your own information and want to be spoon fed. You also insisted on copy and pasting the same two year old information under a very misleading and sensational heading three times, not accepting our explanation that it isn't news, the court case was dropped and so is no longer relevant.

I did ask you not to come back, so any reincarnation will be treated exactly the same way, until that is, you learn to listen more and take to heart the rules of the forum you have joined.

Perhaps wait a few years until you have grown up a little and or left school.

LOL, always a problem when searching for a tradesman in Reading, brings up a lot of very odd links. :)

One should never use the word , 'tradesman', in internet searches.
(You might end up in any number of commons).

I rate this thread 5*

In the blue corner, the undefeated champ rolfw.....and in the red corner, sporting the "D" cap, dreed....allegedly three-times defeated and still relying on the same old approach ;)
