[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 975933, member: 176704"] A33. It's the same for all 3 BEST switches, and, a couple of days ago, I did connect 1 of them direct to the receiver because my first suspicion was that there was a problem somewhere in the feed from that switch - which is the furthest away from the EMP switch. However, the receiver then selected the correct port 1, 2, 3 or 4 via the Diseqc 1.o commands, and I don't think it would be any different if I did the same with the other 2 BEST switches. As an update, I got an email from EMP this morning and they appear to agree with my conclusion yesterday that there is a comms problem between the EMP and the BEST switches. They offered me several options, including a refund if I send the EMP switch back to them, or an investigation/replacement if I also send them one of the BEST switches so that they can do a test. However, I think I'm going to ask for a refund but send them one of the BEST switches anyway as they have tried to be as helpful as possible in the circumstances - and it looks like those BEST switches are likely to be redundant as I think I'm going to reinstate that 10-way Opticon Diseqc 1.1 switch that I know works fine with 8 LNBs. That means that I will be down to 9x LNBs on the 3 fixed dishes (+ 1 on the steerable dish) and so I'll just not connect the LNBs that were getting the weakest signals - although I will keep the cabling in place for the future. Nevertheless, I've had to order another reel of CT100 from CPC - should be here tomorrow - because I've now used up all my old stock from years ago, and the furthest dish needs 3x more 10m cables laid to it (would have to do that anyway if I went along Analoguesat's 16/1 approach, which I might in future.).
