[QUOTE="a33, post: 976398, member: 332642"] So, my assumption for the Opticon being a mix of diseqc 1.1/1.0 is wrong: it's purely diseqc 1.1: from 1 of 16 to 16 of 16. Sorry! Only reaching port 1 and 2 of the diseqc 1.0-switches when cascading, suggests that your receiver only switches on 'position'command and not on 'option'command in diseqc 1.0, when cascading with diseqc 1.1. Or maybe doesn't use the 'collective' diseqc 1.0 command for 'position' AND 'option', only the separate commands. A bit strange; I don't comprehend why this happens, and if this would be the right explanation. I'm still puzzled there.... I'm wondering if the 'spikes' you write about in #27 are repeats of diseqc commands, when no lock on a satellite/transponder is found. My old receiver (XSAT CD.TV410) did exactly that. But if you had program lists in your receiver that were correct, the switch should have eventually found these and switched to the right LNB.... So that doesn't seem the case either? So there really is a big problem with cascading, with your receiver and switches. I don't know which one is mostly the culprit (or how do you say?). That means: Best use a 16/1 switch or 10/1 switch, as you are doing now, so no cascading is needed. Best chances that a BEST switch behind (or better said: BEFORE) such a diseqc 1.1 switch would probably work, would then be behind (or better: BEFORE) [U][B]port 1[/B][/U] of the 1.1 switch (port 1 being the default port), I guess. That would be worth a try, for your furthest away dish? Greetz, A33 [/QUOTE]
