[QUOTE="godzillafan, post: 754960, member: 370215"] OK guys a couple of things I am going to put a new thread on my new t90 setup in the photo page - hoepfully for the next 4 weeks that will chart my progress and fix any mistakes I make. But in the meantime back to this diseqc problem I have - planned a 16/1 emp - we know that but to get 20 since the metal bars i have stuck on overhand the T90 bar so I can fit at least a few more on - in my case 20. 16 x smart single LNBs 4 x sky quads (to get the twins) BUT......... Here is the problem so Loop comes into play here as well if I get a 16/1 emp and 2 more emp 4/1s - does that mean I put 4 lnbs into each 4/1 emp to give me eight lnbs. I then put two leads from there into the 16/1 emp (using up two slots) so I have 14 free! Does this mean I can then have a overall 14 lnbs into the 16/1 emp and 8 (4 each) into the 4/1 emps. [B]making a grand total of 4+4+14=22[/B] Can anyone confirm - or have I got this wrong again? OR...OR....THEN if i feed the main lead into the satbox to get the channels - in that sat box I decide to LOOP into another box - will that mean I dont need twins or quad as the 2nd box will see everything box 1 is getting? But I wont be able to watch sport on main box and cartoon in 2nd box???? Does that make sense - or is it easier to get some twins and feed 4 of the feeds from the (4skyquads) into a seperate 4/1 and feed that to the 2nd box - so my son can channel hop on his own and we wont need to watch his cartoon cbbcs etc - while I am watching the eurosport (with the other 20feeds into main box) At the moment thats where I am stuck with the switch - not sure how to get more that 16 - is it the emp method above. [B]Just looking for the cheapest option[/B] - even if it mean buying a stack of 4/1 emps - 5 of them will get me 20, but what then - how do i get down to one wire into a satbox? cheers guys - ps Last question - have asked before but sky octo will that work on a 1.1M dish or 2 or 4 of them on multi holder - will they work since cheapest octo lnb route?
