Setting up the Azbox as a slaved receiver
Items you should have…
1) 2- high frequency splitters with power out only to one side.
(I use Tru-Spec HFS-2/2150 : 900-2150Mhz splitters)
2) 1- 4x1 switch: (I use a quail-tv NDS-7014)
3) 1-HDMI cable
4) extra cable line for the new connections
5) optional**quick connectors for the end of your cable wiring**
Run the C-Band line from the dish that is already in your home to the input of one of the splitters. The side the line going to the “OUT” on the splitter now connects to your main dish moving receiver as this controls the dish and polarity settings.
The other side of the splitter without the line towards the “OUT” will go to the 4x1 switch Line 1 for C-band.
Now if you have ku on your dish do the same as you did above but now for ku, and run it to the 4x1 switch Line 2.
The line marked “Receiver” on the 4x1 switch goes to the Azbox. I found this on the net. What do you guys think
Sounds a bit complicated as I have never really had to use switches or splitters with my setups before, I've been using my positioners as stand alone since 1999 and will keep doing so.
I think the best bet would to wait till someone comes out with an FTA box that will directly run a "C" band linear motor.
And all the splitter stuff sounds like a big nightmare waiting to happen.
But what do I know, I'm still mucking around in hyperspace.
