Monoblock AND DiSEqC switch

[marvinx]

I have 2 dishes, one at 28.2 and the other at hotbird , using a 4 way DiSEqC switch. I want to change the LNB on the hotbird dish to have a monoblock for 13/19 degrees. Now I assume this is also switched by DiSEqC internally. Im using a Dreambox dm800. With this work with both the switch and the mono block? If so how do I configure it

Thanks in advance

It can be done although i am not familiar with the dm800, you should find the settings for the diseqc in motorised settings and allocate each of the four ports to a seperate satellite, ie: port A 28, port b 19, and port c 13, port d empty.
Personally i would just put a h to h motor on your dish easier and more choice.

Hope this helps

it combination of comitmend and uncommintmend switches
look at spaun web site for explanations
but i will go for 8in1 disecq
it work in my db800 like charm ,and use side matic braket with single lnb to get Astra

No sorry this wont work, I have tried it before. Go for the motor !

It CAN be done BUT you will waste a lot of money sourcing the right combination of 0/12v switch, toneburst/DiSEqC 1.0,1.1,2.0 & 2.1 switches. Once you have found the combination of switches, you risk failing because where for instance a DiSEqC 2.0 switch is needed, your chosen switch may well be backwards compatible and switch with a DiSEqC 1.1 signal when you wanted it to ignore and just pass straight through :mecry:
By far the best (and cheapest) option is a 4 way DiSEqC switch and a short LNB arm clamped to the side of the original to get 13e & 19e. You will see loads of suitable arms attached to redundant dishes everywhere you go, simply offer to remove and take away.

A £35 motor gives so many more options and is far less hassle, I doubt you will find a switching system that will work satisfactorily

thanks everyone, I may have to look at a motor then

You already have the switch, just cut half the arm from an old dish with LnB and bracket it at the side of your existing one.

I thought to check the equipment That are available.

Configuration

Is it possible to connect 1 dual monobloc quad LNB with another 2single LNBs in DiSEqC 1.1 with 2 switches 2/1 for 1 user? Will be avaible then the 3 unoccupied outputs of the monobloc LNB for another 3 users?
