[QUOTE="Terryl, post: 894852, member: 369937"] My experience with this, is don't do it, some receivers (not all) get really confused as to what satellite they were looking at when switched back and forth to/from the second receiver. And trying to find an A/B switch that will work on a satellite system is tough, there are some out there but would cost a bit more then the ones for CATV or TV. I just set them up with a main receiver controlling the motor, and the LNB run into a 4 x 4 switch, it may be a bit of a pain in the neck, not being able to control the motor from the second receiver, but that can be fixed by using an IR to UHF remote extender, that way the remote for the first receiver can be run to the second receivers location. (a second remote for the first box works wonders) Radio Shack made a remote controlled A/B switch but it is an IR device, and haven't seen them on the market lately. [/QUOTE]
