buy a manual A-B switch , job done

you may even get a cheap diseqc switch to work too ( 2 or 4 way )

does the diseqc switch allow me to move the disk automatically, without switching.

all I can say is that it works on my samsung box , cant say for any other receiver as it depends on its capabilities

Tony thanks m8, this afternoon went along and got that switch you mentioned and it works great.

I do have a twin tuner box (relook400) but the images are crap for it, so I use enigma on it but in doing so you loose tuner2.

So now with ABCOM enigma image I am using a 1.1mtr motor dish in to input A and a fixed 1.5mtr dish in to B and everything is spot on.

Cheers m8
