Is it possible..if so, how?

[xplosive]

I would like to connect 3 stbs to this set up if its possible.
Friend is aimed at

82
Elipical
91

110
Eliptical
119

118.8 (34"?)

129 (18")

have them working on 2 stbs with 2 diseqc's and 2 sw21's.

Well yes, if all the LNB's are the same type, and all have 2 outputs.

but it will take 4 Diseqc switches and 2 SW21's (if they are 22 KHz)


First setup.

Diseqc switch #1 has 110, 118, 119, 129 on it.

Diseqc switch #2 has 82, 91 on it.

The outputs of these two feed into SW21 #1, 22 KHz off equals 110 to 129, 22 KHz on equals 82, 91, and go to the first receiver.

Switching.

Diseqc #1 = 119, 22 KHz off.
Diseqc #2 = 110, 22 KHz off.
Diseqc #3 = 129, 22 KHz off
Diseqc #4 = 118, 22 KHz off.
Diseqc #1 = 91, 22 KHz on.
Diseqc #2 = 82, 22 KHz on.

Second setup.

Diseqc #3 has 110, 118, 119, 129 on it, from the second outputs of the LNB's.

Diseqc #4 has 82, 91 on it, from the second outputs of the LNB's.

The outputs of these two feed into SW21 #2, 22 KHz off equals 110 to 129, 22 KHz on equals 82, 91, and feeds the second receiver.

Switching.

Diseqc #1 = 119, 22 KHz off.
Diseqc #2 = 110, 22 KHz off.
Diseqc #3 = 129, 22 KHz off
Diseqc #4 = 118, 22 KHz off.
Diseqc #1 = 91, 22 KHz on.
Diseqc #2 = 82, 22 KHz on.

The only drawback to all of these switches is the possibllity that one can go bad, and it would be a big troubleshooting problem.

That is why I like the multi LNB switch with a multi output, EMP has a good line of these type of switches, less to go wrong, and less system loss. (all the jumpers and connections on the first setup)

Thanks.

I screwed up though...:bawl:

82/92 elliptical
110 (18")
119/118.8 (34"?)
129 (18")

all lnbs are 2 lines out

how would it be set-up in this case?

[Terryl]

Does the 118/119 LNB have 2 output's, and you use Diseqc switching (internal) for changing between the two?

If so then it won't change.

Use a Zinwell 4x4 on your 82/91 lnb's.....and Zinwell 3x4's on the individual dishes.

Then use a diseqc 4x1 for each receiver.....efficient setup for up to 4 receivers
