[QUOTE="Vipersan, post: 804437, member: 325666"] ...Well to answer my own question ... I have only tried this with Cband and the ka lnb so far ...as I only have 2 cable runs to Christina ... But ...it does appear this idea is viable ...as I can switch from C @ 1West to that ka transponder (saorsat jamming) ...and the PF moves seamlessly between the 2 sat positions on the Vbox ...and switches the relevant feeds without employing a 4 port diseqc switch on the PF dish .. And yes I have gained back about 2db ..at least as far as C band is concerned .. The Pentagon Channel currently booming in at an astonishing 7.6 db .. (this appears to be power level up atm) Wheras using the pervious config I was lucky if I got 5.8db So to answer my own question in a nutshell .. Yes you can use a 4 port diseqc switch as a 4 port tap with what on the surface appears to be adequate signal isolation...but allows the 22khz motor control info to bleed backwards to the 2 daisychained Vboxes .. So ..I'm gonna have to invest in another reel of cable and a bag of F connectors .. More work ..to gain 2 db and still have 3 lnbs on the Christina under full vbox motor control for all 3 lnbs.. Nice ;) VS [/QUOTE]
