2 "receivers" to drive 1 motorised dish?
- Thread starter mmoloch
- Start date
It seems that it is possible using a manual A/B Switch or using a Smart Priority Switch.
I have two fixed dishes and one motorized, all connected to a diseqc switch 1.1 8x1 -> Octagon SF8 HD.
On Friday I will receive a TBS6922 card and made a diagram of the connections that I want to use:
My idea is to watch the 6 fixed sats and the motorized dish in the Octagon SF8 and be able to change the two manual A/B switches and watch the 6 fixed sats and the motorized dish in the TBS6922 card...
... or be able to change one of the manual A/B switches and watch the 6 fixed sats in the Octagon SF8 and the motorized dish in the TBS6922 card and vice versa.
My diagram work?

Hi Mmoloch,
I think U can forget to use a Tone-burst switch, because it's used only to switch from C-band to Ku-band and viceversa.
I also think that there will be a conflict between Switch Diseq 1.1 and Diseq 2.0 in the same line. I'm not sure your TBS/Octagon can manage a set up like that.
You can use other 2 manual or "0-12 V" switches, if maybe Octagon can control 1 of those, instead.
Ciao

From what I read about Diseqc cascading I think it will be no conflicts...
I already have everything ordered and soon will test the diagram, if it does not work already have another solution, a twin LNB on the motorized dish, I'll have to control the motorized dish on the computer but I'll be able to watch on the Octagon.

I have the same stuff
I tell you something that happens to me:
If I'm watching something on PC and I turn on/off my stb, the signal goes off for a little while, I mean few milliseconds, however enough to damage a recording.
Please tell me if You will be experiencing the same problem

Already tested the second solution (twin LNB) and apparently I do not have that problem, I can switch on/off my stb without losing the signal on the TBS card, later I'll try to switch on/off the stb while recording with the TBS card.
