Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 3415 Registered: Oct-06 | 4 Satellites to 2 receivers - Yo have to have each Sat on a separate LNB - Each LNB must be dual input - Yo may place 118/119 on one-LNB One-input - Third Sat to input-3 - Forth Sat to input-4 etc. - Max 4 inputs to 2 receivers  |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 11594 Registered: Jun-06 | A number of variations of DiSEqC exist: * DiSEqC 1.0, which allows switching between up to 4 satellite sources * DiSEqC 1.1, which allows switching between up to 16 sources * DiSEqC 1.2, which allows switching between up to 16 sources * DiSEqC 2.0, which adds bi-directional communications to DiSEqC 1.0 * DiSEqC 2.1, which adds bi-directional communications to DiSEqC 1.1 * DiSEqC 2.2, which adds bi-directional communications to DiSEqC 1.2 Even the lowly Pansat 2500 and FLU using the conversion BIN PUFF_288 has a DisEqC 1.1 setting, which is what is needed for the Digiwave 8 to 1 switch. The latest BINs on viewsats should/would have 1.1 and 1.2 DiseqC settings |

I was pretty impressed with that little 2500a after getting through all the do's and dont's and do's it took to load the file. |

Platinum Member Username: NydasPost Number: 11599 Registered: Jun-06 | The DisEqC 1.0 and 1.1 alternatives came about on Pansat 2700 (and therefore on converted BINs) about 2 months ago. I am pretty certain that that kind of facility is becoming universal amongst the better FTA names |
