Connecting 6 Sats, help wanted.

Bronze Member Username: CybermasterPost Number: 64 Registered: Jan-07 | Hello Fellaz, I want to connect 110, 119, 148, 82, 91, and globecast. I want to use 8x1 diseqc by digiwave. I've got sonicview sv-4000. But, under diseqc setting, I get only lnb1 to lnb4. In other words, I could only specify up to 4 sats. How can I specify sat 5 and 6. I don't want to use an sw21. If messes up the quality I heard. Can anyone help me out. Thanks in advance. |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1586 Registered: Oct-06 | Tony 6 satellites means that yo are a true hobbyist It is definitely not a plug and play A true hobbyist required to be a great satellite scanner or great hardware hands on 3 receivers means yo want to enjoy great service Not the typical 1-800-SERVICE Yo'll have obstacles and it is matter of how to resolve them Well 6 satellites is like going from a Zero to 60 Miles per hour How I do things maybe different from everyone else Here are your choices: - Motor scanner (requires patience and great scanning skills) - Buy a generic multiple satellite switch like Zinwell 6x8 (will run across few obstacles) - Cascade 4 SW34 and 4 DISEqC switch (require excellent wiring skills) 6 satellites require minimum of 3 or 4 dishes with total of 6 LNBs Or: Wave Frontier Toroidal T90 or T55 Dish  Click here for more about Toroidal https://www.ecoustics.com/cgi-bin/bbs/show.pl?tpc=2&post=998503#POST998503 3 receivers requires multi-polarity switch Like Zinwell 6x8  Or Cascade your own like this diagram  |

Gold Member Username: TapemanNew York City in-HD, NY Post Number: 1588 Registered: Oct-06 | Connecting 6 satellites to one DISEqC switch can be easily done. Yo may not run across polarity switching issues if yo use one receiver. 6 Satellites to 2 receiver will require 4 units of DISEqC switches and each satellite LNB must have 2 coaxial outlets. Remember You are limited to 4 DISEqC ports and 0/22KHZ at your antenna setup. I found this place for various switches Buy at your own risk |
