[QUOTE="garym71, post: 438484, member: 262344"] How prone to the outside elements are most DiSEqC switches? I'm planning on mounting a 4-way one outside close to the dish but am concerned about the weather getting to it. The "waterproof" ones I've seen just appear to have some kind of cover/shroud over the top of them with an open bottom which to me only seems to be protection against downward rain and doesn't seem to be a very good design at stopping moisture getting into the switch that will eventually corrode the connections/contacts and circuit components. I saw a 2-way switch on the Maplins website (_http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=47185) which does appear to have a fully enclosed waterproof box around the switch but they don't do 4-way switches of the same design :( How are other people properly protecting their outdoor DiSEqC switches from the elements? Thanks, Gary [/QUOTE]
