[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1030451, member: 176704"] Twin cable is "figure of eight" construction and should easily be split into two separate cables at the receiver and dish ends - at the dish end, one cable goes to the Receiver F-connector on the motor [I]and then[/I] another piece of cable goes from the LNB connector on the motor to one F-connector on the LNB, and the other cable goes directly to the other F-connector on the LNB. You [I]must[/I] get the connections correct on the motor but it does not matter which F-connector on the LNB is then connected to the LNB connector on the motor. The cable connected via the motor is the one that (generally) needs to be connected to LNB input 1 on the receiver as that will be the one which will control the dish movement as well as receive signals from the LNB.
