[QUOTE="RedDevil_UK, post: 134614, member: 184030"] problem solved :) regulars on here might remember me wanting to share the big dish with sky... at the same time, and not keep having to swap the coax over. this involves having the coax from the dish/LNB going into the dreambox and using the loop through ie coax output from dreambox into the sky digibox, it works fine untill you want to move the motor on the dish... it wont move!!! at first i thought it couldnt be done.... then after loads of fiddling and the realisation that the problem lies with 2 boxes sending power to the 1 lnb, and going into the secret installation menu on the sky box :) ah ahh by pressing services> 4> 0> 1> select you get a new menu :) and the option to turn off power to the lnb then pick up the DB remote and move dish. when you want to use sky again, turn off DB and the screen on sky you left ie secret menu is there still waiting :) change the power back to on and backup out of menu :) woohoo best of both worlds... PS reading this probably sounds long winded, but in practice this just takes a few seconds... alot quicker than wrecking all the wiring under my TV each time i want to watch my ART subscription :) [/QUOTE]
