Hi,

Currently I have a VU+ Solo2 with:-

28.2E fixed dish into LNB2 and my Technomate TM-2600 positioner/LNB into LNB1.

Both the fixed dish and movable dish have multiple output LNBs. (but I'm only using 1 from each at the moment).

My summer job is to install an additional switch(s) to maximise what I've got.

I'm looking for an interesting arrangement and a maker recommendation.

(By the way I don't mind a bit of redundancy/spare capacity for the future.)


(My additional kit e.g. x2 Kathrein setups and my trusted Dreambox DM500s will not be included in the above arrangement.)
 
I suppose that what I'm trying to visualise is 4 Lnbs ( 2 on fixed, 2 on motorised.)
With the ability to swap "each" them between the 2 Lnb inputs on the Solo2.

Obviously 2 Lnbs into "each" of the 2 Solo2 inputs/tuners is easy enough.
But I'd like to maximise the switching to be able to choose the routing.

Perhaps an example would help.

LNB# Solo2 input#
1 or 2 1
3 or 4 2
This is easy enough.

But say I want to switch so that...

1 or 3 1
2 or 4 2

or

3 or 4 1
1 or 2 2

Obviously I could achieve this with mechanical switching, but what else is possible?
 
Editing mucked up my example above

LNB#.............................. Solo2 input#
1 or 2 ... into ....................... 1
3 or 4 ... into........................ 2
This is easy enough.

But say I want to switch so that additionally allows ...
1 or 3 ... into .........................1
2 or 4 ... into .........................2

or indeed

3 or 4 ... into ........................... 1
1 or 2 ... into ............................2
