is it possible to loopback two dreambox 600 together,if so
how will i go about it

If you mean satellite feeds, the best way is to have a twin LNB. Your main box moves the motor, and the second will see any satellite the dish is pointed at. You could also switch in a fixed dish on the most popular satellite, eg 28e for the second box.

cheers for that rick,i was hopeing to have both boxes to control the dish see a thread a few days ago here >>> http://www.satellites.co.uk/forums/...-motorised-dish-two-recievers.html#post910954 but im strugglin with it cos i been told you can do it and you cant do it

so in theory this is my best option twin feed lnb

Depending on the number of satellites you want to receive and which ones, it might be possible to set up a fixed dish with a multi-lnb bracket. This could typically give you up to 4 satellites. I have a 90cm dish with a multi-lnb bracket and 4 quad LNBs pointing at 28.2e, 23.5e, 19.2e and 13e. This allows each dreambox connected to all the LNBs through its own diseqc switch to select satellite/channel independently. In your case it would require 4 dual lnbs mounted on a multi-bracket if you want to feed 2 x dreamboxes. Then each can independently select the satellite/channel as it is done through 2 x diseqc switches, one per dreambox. It also has the advantage if instant satellite switching as you dont have to wait for a motor to move the dish. Downside is the satellites have to be within 20 degress of each other and the closest they can be to each other is about 3 degrees, otherwise the LNBs jam against each other. In my case I had to shave the 23.5 and 19.2 LNBs slightly to get them closer together. You also need a bit of a bigger dish as the all the LNBs are not perfectly alligned and there is some signal loss because of this slight offset.
