Disqec - multi lnb help required.

[Yoda]

Hi Guys,

I have a T90 at present and I am trying to add to it.

My current setup is

LNB 1 - 28.E
LNB 2 - 19E
LNB 3 - 16E
LNB 4 - 13E
LNB 5 - 9E

I want to add a further three lnbs to the setup, my location is London UK and would love help on 2 matters.

Issue 1

My 8 way disqec switch has a faulty port and needs to be replaced. The stb im using will be either the Azbox HD or Dreambox 7000s

Question:
Can I buy two 4 way disqec switches and a 2 way disqec and cascade them, giving me an 8 lnb to 1 stb setup?

Question: I am planning to add 3 more sats, 1 West, 5 East and im not sure on the last.

Any suggestions that I can pick up from the UK on a T90 as the third sat?

Thanks in advance.

Yoda..

Have a look at the latest Azbox HD manual page 67, that example will give you 10 ways.

2 x 4 way 1.0 switches
1 x 4 way 1.1 switch

Thanks mate ill do just that.

Kind of. You would need an uncomitted switch to cascade 2x 4way, and your reciever has to be capable of handling it.


Question: I am planning to add 3 more sats, 1 West, 5 East and im not sure on the last.

I had my TD110 on multi lnb before I motorised. I got 28e, 23.5e, 19e, 13e, 5e and 1w (not nordic beam). Because of the large offset the signal was unwatchabe on the nordic beam of 1w, now motorised I get around 80% quality. I don't think you will get the same 30 degree spread on a 90cm dish. You are probably looking at a 20 degree spread.

I imagine you could as i have the Force Frontier T50 dish and the manual reckons i can have upto 8 lnb,s on it and on the T90 you can have upto 16 lnb,s i have lnb,s at 19e 13e 5e and my 28e is on a sly dish but fed through the 4 way disqec ...i think you can get an 8 way disqec though..if they still available..

Sorry, hadn't realised you had a toridoidal, didn't link it to T90 when I read the post.

From experience, it's difficult to find a true 1.0 and 1.1 Diseqc switch. The 1.1 tends to get confused when offered a legasy 1.0 signal as it's first signal and requires a power down to reset to 1.1.
I'd be tempted to replace with an EMP 8 way (or 9 if you include the terrestrial).

Thanks guys, I may well just replace the 8 way with a new EMP 8 way as suggested.

Thanks for all your help.

Get yourself a 10 x 1 and save yourself a lot of Problems.
or
Get 2 4 x1 and a 0/12v switch to put between them.

The 10 is the Better way.

[Dig Deep]

Yes, a 10*1 looks good for me. I will re-set up my T90 this summer after adding a few LNB´s so I think I will go for the 10*1.

You can also buy an Emp 17 in 1 out, priced 55-60€ online.
