[QUOTE="guest poster, post: 554387, member: 262401"] You usually use diseqc 1 & 1.1 switches ... 2 way, 4way are very common and quite cheap, you can have more (8, 16) and cascade them (not something we do). You lose some signal though so only really recommended for good signals or you can compensate the loss by using a larger dish. They are ideal for strong satellites like 28e 19e 13e etc.. You can use a manual switch that doesn't have significant signal loss, perhaps to switch from the diseqc switch to a dish on a weak satellite. We had that setup on a 4 way .. BTW... We only set it up for a laugh with a box of spare singles from + upgrades and were surprised how well it worked. I confess we did it that quick that we didn't put a meter on it or test the weakest tps ...but I think that the oval shape of the Sky dish probably helped it- that's a 33.3 degree split and probably a maximum of 40 degrees on a 45cm.
