Hi m8's ...
I'm putting up a diagram of my 'proposed' entire setup..
Its complicated because I can only run 1 cable to dish B ..but I need motor control from 2 locations
..The shack and the TV room ..
I can control dish A directly from the TV room ...and by network /web interface from the PC in the shack.
I can control the C band dish 'C' directly form the shack ...or by a remote extender from the TV room ..
control of dish C has another option directly from the Humax HDCI set top box ...but not explored this yet.
Dish B is the problem ..
As you can see control of the motor and lnb is assigned by priority switch ..and works well..
If the IPbox is powered down control is directed to the shack..
The problem is that I then want to be able to 'steer' it using one of the 2 pci cards in the pc ...
so ..my questions are ..
Can either the SS2 card or the S2-3200 card control the motor ...or would there be current issues (the pc has an oversized psu).
If not I would have to introduce a 3rd receiver to steer it ..and loop through for the signal to the pc
..or possibly just to steer the dish and a 'tap' for the signal to the pc.
..however my main worry is that the 4way diseqc switch may not pass the motor control commands ...even though I've assigned it to port 1 (AA) of the switch which is default and technically requires no command to operate it ..
I know its a complicated request ..but any advice would be appreciated
