I'm planning to run a couple of fixed dishes for fast access to my favourite channels and since they are already there, I might as well leave them alone. I also plan to run a motorised 1.1M Triax dish for amusement to tune to whatever is fun at the time.
I thought I'd run a 4way DiSEqC switch (such as http://tinyurl.com/4kvnc) for switching between the dishes.
The question being will the DiSEqC motor commands make it through the switch to the motorise dish? Will the receiver be able to cope with this concept? (I guess it may depend upon the receiver - likely to be Samsung 9500).
Moreover since I'm planning to run a 36V motor through a V-box rather than a DiSEqC motor I'll have the choice of putting the V-box Before the 4-way switch rather than after - which would beg the question will the DiSEqC switch commands make it through the V-box?
If the whole thing is a silly idea I can resign myself to manually pointing the remote at the V-box to reposition the motorised dish and take DiSEqC out of the equation concerning posistioning.
Your thoughts....?

+ Motor
.... a good way to go or just silly? (Yes I know it won't tune to much sitting in the kitchen )
