[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1145394, member: 176704"] AH, late to the thread but I think I may have something to contribute, although maybe not about the actual TV! That "BEST" DiSEqC switch is, in my experience, one of the WORST such switches I have encountered - I bought 3-4 of the bloody things (from Amazon!) and NONE of them worked correctly, in that they would not direct commands to the correct connected LNB's. :angry: In the end I used EMP-Centauri switches which work very well, and then sent one of the BEST switches to EMP-Centauri (at their suggestion) in Europe to see what they made of it - [I]which was that it did not respond correctly to DiSEqC commands, and (with my total agreement!) they retained it for their "rogues gallery" of kit which simply does not work to specification![/I] BTW: sometimes in the distant past (probably mid-late 2015 or early 2016) I started a thread on the whole farce around those "BEST" switches and it may be useful if one of the Staff could identify and link that thread (which is now probably in the archives!) so it can be seen from within this current one. IIRC, I then junked the remaining "BEST" switches!! :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
