[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 1174, member: 174998"] You need a DiSEqC switch. There are many kinds and variations (eg, 2 inputs, 4 inputs). If you want a picture, have a look here for example: http://www.cardman.co.uk/diseqc.html More info: http://www.techtronics.com/uk/shop/20-acc-lnb-switch.html Bear in mind that the angular separation of Hotbird and Astra2 is very large, so this could be a problem if you are using a single dish. Most mounting brackets for duel-LNB installations on a single dish are for separations of 6 degrees only (ie designed for Astra1 and Hotbird). So you would need to get an adjustable one or make one yourself. There are many different kinds of device for programming different kinds of cards. Smartmouse/Phoenix programmers can be used for reprogramming digital MOSCs (the official subscriber cards) or the EEPROMs of wafer cards. Ludipipo & PIC-programmers are devices for programming individual chips, or the PIC chip of a smart card (but not the EEPROM). Multi-programmers such as the Millennium, Elvis or VP20 will do all of the above. Some special cards (Atmel/Jupiter, Atmel/Funcard, etc) may require special programmers, or at least, a programmer specifically designed to be flexible enough to program a wide range of chips. 2old [/QUOTE]
