[QUOTE="Yorks, post: 400228, member: 191461"] It does appear to work, although not flawlessly. Equipment used:- TM1500ci Receiver(Usals) on switch connection 'A'. Tevion FTA Receiver (Usals) on switch connection 'B'. A/B Hi Isolation Cable Switch. Moteck SG2100A Motor. on 'To TV' connection. Using Usals on both receivers. One receiver seems to remember where it is, and therefore when switching A/B switch to that receiver it will move to the sat/channel that it is 'on'. The positioner doesn't seem to be able to cope with two sets of instructions (from two receivers), so unless the the second receiver is already on the same satellite as the first, then when switched it will not move to the sat channel that it is tuned into. To remedy this, if you choose a third sat position - different to the one being received on the first receiver, and different to the currently tuned one on the selected (second) receiver, then the positioner should move to this selection and from then on will know where it is. When switching back to the first receiver it should pick up where it left off. Hope this helps. Regards, Yorks.:) [/QUOTE]
