[QUOTE="Robbo, post: 510037, member: 256551"] Hi, It is a bit more tricky feeding a monoblock and another LNB into a Diseqc switch, as you generally can't cascade them. Apparently it works if you split the output of the monoblock and connect it to the first two ports, but I ve never tried it. To keep it simple, since yu have not bought anything yet, you would be better off just getting two individual LNBs, and a 4-way diseqc switch to allow for future expansion. Oh, and by the, way, you don't need two dishes, you can all three LNBs on 1 dish for those three satellites if the dish is reasonable in size. Robbo:) Edit here's one garym setup:- [url]http://www.satellites.co.uk/satellite/picture-members-setups-general-satellite-installations/110896-my-self-installed-fixed-dish-multi-lnb-system.html[/url] you may need a larger dish due to your location though.
