Hi, I have two dishes on my house set to two different satellites, I have one box (DM500s)

Is there a part I can buy to put the 2 LNBs into, that will switch between to different satellites as I change channel on the one cable?

thanks! :respect-055:

(hope I explained that as I should! hehe)

DiSEqC switch would do the job:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DiSEqC
2 lnb to 1 receiver (if you don't plan expanding on LNB's)
otherwise
4 lnb to 1 receiver
8 lnb to 1 receiver
16 lnb to 1 receiver

I use a diseq 4 way switch which has my motorised dish on port 1 and astra 1 on port 2 and 39east on port 3.

This feeds in to my spider 9000 and loops out to my TM1500, when the spiders in standby the TM is active, it all works very nicely.
