    Batten Down The Hatches: Winter 2013/14 Chat

    Replaced my old motor yesterday which had been up for eight years before giving up the ghost. Everything tight! The old one did quite well when I think of all the high winds that it endured over the years, and never got blown off course once. January is always a good month for wind. I find if...

    2 receivers to drive 1 motorised dish?

    Well I finally got a roundtuit on the bank holiday Monday while the rest of you were at the Royal BBQ. I housed the switch in an IP66 box (bit of a tight fit) and connected all up and I am pleased to say that it works seamlessly. Regards, Yorks.

    2 receivers to drive 1 motorised dish?

    Yes, as you say the only way to find out is to try it. I've ordered the SPS, so we'll see. I might wait until it get's a bit warmer though, before I give it a go. :-rock

    2 receivers to drive 1 motorised dish?

    Thanks for the reply Huevos. Yes I think the DiSEqC command order from the receiver should be ok. In my current set up, I have a single receiver connected to 2 motorised dishes via a 2/1 DiSEqC switch. One dish covering 53E to 8W, the other dish covering 12W to 45W. The receiver switches...

    2 receivers to drive 1 motorised dish?

    2 receivers to drive 1 motorised dish?

    In your OP you mentioned a twin lnb. Where does the 2nd lnb connect, or are you only using one feed from it. (Is it time I was making my way back before they notice I'm awol?!) I think I will connect both receivers to a motor via an old a/b switch in the comfort of the lounge, just to see if...

    2 receivers to drive 1 motorised dish?

    Hi T_G, Interesting. I take it you have one of the twin lnbs bypassing the motor? As the receivers are going to be quite a distance apart, loop-through is not really practical.

    Thanks for the reply Paul. Would it "know" if using USALS maybe? Thanks, yes the NHS shake-up means that they've removed the guard from the door. Just need to be back before lights out.

    2 receivers to drive 1 motorised dish?

    It's been a while since my last installation and I want to change things a bit :-ohcrap:- I want to connect 2 receivers (one will be upstairs) to my motorised dish and both receivers also to a fixed dish. I don't need to use/view the motorised dish from both receivers at the same time - so a...
