[QUOTE="nelson_b, post: 838641, member: 296628"] hi - i have a 8 way - EMP centaury S168 -- but use it with 1.1 diseqc settings below is the instruction for setting it up as if it were a 1.2 motor --- hope it could be of some use to you -- i did once set it up this way and it worked fine . regards -- "If the receiver does not support DiSEqC 1.1, then DiSEqC 1.2 can be used to control the switch. From the receiver’s point of view, the S.168 switch is treated no differently from a DiSEqC motor; the receiver should be set up as if there were a DiSEqC motor connected to it. Simply access the menu that contains the receiver’s DiSEqC 1.2 motor control settings and treat each satellite antenna input as a different position for the “motor”. Starting with switch position 1, use the receiver’s menu to “move” the antenna until the signal strength for the first dish rises significantly. Stop moving, verify that the signal quality is at maximum and store the position. Repeat this procedure for the remaining seven inputs until all the positions have been stored. Keep in mind that the scanning of the inputs can take as long as one minute and that the actual procedure for setting up motor positions may differ from one receiver to another. Once the eight positions have been stored, the receiver can now access each of the switch’s inputs individually by “moving” to the desired satellite dish. And unlike the initial setup where the “movement” from one antenna to the next took some time, in normal operation there was no noticeable difference in the time to switch from one channel to another on different satellites compared to using a standard DiSEqC switch.
