Hi,
I'm looking for a bit of advice on switches.
If I want to connect two dishes to my DM I can use a DiSEqC switch ?
If I want to connect my dish to multiple receivers i can use a multi switch ?

So my question is, if I want to connect multiple dishes (say 2) to multiple receivers (say 2),
do I need a DiSEqC and a Multi-switch or is there an easier way ?

I am based in Spain and am looking to order them online, can anyone reccommend a good site?


Thanks in advance!

Option would be 9 input switches for 2 sat feeds to multiple points but for two receivers then only 2 x DiSEqC switches.

Up to 4 satellites you can use 4x1 diseqc switches. For up to 4 receivers, use quad LNBs. Up to 8 receivers can be used with Octo LNBs.

Any more than eight receivers, a multiswitch is needed.

Any more than 4 satellites, diseqc 1.1 switches are needed.
