[QUOTE="slayter, post: 125618, member: 191438"] Hi m8 Thanks for the reply and sorry for not being clear and i see where I have confused matters. I will try and explain more clearly. Dish 2 has a twin lnb. Output 1 of the twin lnb is connected to my motor mount and then onto Dreambox 7000S. Output 2 of the lnb goes direct to a diseqc switch (ie: doesn't go anywhere near the motor mount) From the diseqc switch then goes to Dreambox 500S. Dish 1 (fixed) - 1 lnb Goes into the diseqc switch and then to the Dreambox 500S. Basically I have two separate systems. The DB7000S is my main motorised system which works of Dish 2 all the time (using output 1 of the twin lnb) This set-up works fine. My second system is the Dreambox 500S which 99% of the time uses Dish 1(fixed) and occasionaly i want to switch over and use Dish 2. (Obviously my DB7000S will have moved Dish 2 into the correct position beforehand) So effectively I have one Dreambox 500S using a diseqc switch for two seperate lnb's. (1 of the lnb's being the 2nd output of Dish 2's twin lnb unit) So my settings should be just a normal 2 sat diseqc set-up but this doesn't pull anything in from Dish 2 (the twin lnb output) Dish 1 pulls in channels no probs. Does this make things clearer? Thanks for your help on this mate - really appreciate it. Slayter [/QUOTE]
