[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1002651, member: 176704"] Don't know much about f/o cable but I would have thought that the one at the receiver end to the "connector" / "hub" (or whatever that circle is at that end of the 100m dual cable setup?) doesn't have a central metal core (or even a metal sheath?), and so how is the Diseqc control cct completed so that the motor get the signal? Therefore I would have thought that the CT125 for the motor would have to be extended all the way to the receiver - but what should happen there - maybe some sort of dedicated f/o "splitter", or could it be that you would need to use a dual tuner receiver with both tuners "linked" internally and with one driving the f/o link and the other one the motor? OTOH, for that matter, would you really need to run CT125 all the way to the dish? Surely, given that Diseqc signals are very low frequency, could you not just use a shielded (to minimise external interference to the signals, in the way that "old-style" shielded 5-core cables to 36V motors included the +/- & position indicator cores as well as the shielded coax to the LNB ) twin core/twisted-pair cable ?
