I got this switch because a friend bought it brand new installed it and receiver didn't show any quality on all 4 ports, he has a LimeSat Ultra and DiseqC settings are 1.0 and 1.2 for motor set up, I lend him my DiseqC switch Chieta wish the specs said 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.4, 1.6, 2.0, and it worked fine, I tested the the DMS 2.0 with my SkyBox S12 and worked perfect I didn't have to do anything in the dish settings, now my question is the Bi-Directional specs, what does this means? what are the features you'll gain with this format? DMS diseqc format is only 2.0, Thanks in advance Turbo
