[QUOTE="David Jashi, post: 964139, member: 407977"] Yes, and Frankenswitch v4/v5 in conjunction with Arduino will do just fine. RF is present only in headend, clients are fed with HLS streams. There are 16 (14+2 spare) TBS6910 on multiswitch outputs and 8 (4+4 spare) TBS6909 cards on multiswitch's cascade (those cards have internal switches, so they need direct quattro input) for FTA channels. I don't really need to switch BEFORE multiswitches (UPDATE: "before"="dish side", "after"="receiver side"), as they are constantly fed from IRS. I will need to switch outputs. All 32 of them. Yes, of course, I will drop control voltage to 5V, as described [URL='http://empegbbs.com/ubbthreads.php/topics/321902']here [/URL]to comply with GPIO voltage and will control switching process with Arduino or similar device. I will still have to choose, how to trigger switchover, whether by controlling multiswitches powerstate with Arduino's inputs or programatically analyzing the state of carrier - if signal lost on all receivers, them multiswitch died, switchover. I think I will do both. Nice one too, but I prefer to control it from my application. [/QUOTE]
