[QUOTE="blackninja, post: 71570, member: 180789"] The stacker/destacker units do seem expensive. Couple more queries: (1) would a disesq switch not be the solution if I just wanted to use two dishes on one receiver, disconnecting the coax cable from the Sky receiver and connecting it to the Smart receiver (or vice versa) when I want to watch hotbird instead of Sky. Alternatively, would I be better off with a sky compatible LNB switch, like on this page [url]http://www.satcure.co.uk/accs/page1b.htm[/url] with the Sky converter shown. I've seen setups of two dishes to one cable, using a switch, where hotbird automatically works once the coax cable from the switch is attached to the non-Sky box, then automatically back to 28 East when attached back into the Sky Box. That in itself would be a big help, with the cold winter months coming in. (2) Having done this could I not just use an A-B switch at the receiver end, and maybe a signal booster, to operate both receivers at the same time? It still seems cheaper than the Stacker/DeStacker. Thanks for your help and patience. [/QUOTE]
