More than 4 lnbs?

[thyristor44]

Hello
I have a db500s clone and am wanting to use five lnbs and cant figure out how its possible.
Any ideas please

Hi thyristor44
Do you need help for installation of lnb - dish - diseqc
or only the settings in your dreambox ?

You need Diseqc 8/1 Switch.

Re: More than 4 lnbs?

You can increase the number of lnbs by using more than one disecq switch. why you want use 5 lnbs? use motorized dish.

which satellites you want to use?

[vimmers]

Re: More than 4 lnbs?

which satellites you want to use?

i don't think its relevant
just how he do it

[thyristor44]

Re: More than 4 lnbs?

Thanks vimmers, only one query.
I see you have one repeat but does switch 2 connect to position one on switch 1. Or how?

[vimmers]

Re: More than 4 lnbs?

this setup are to a DiseqC 8/1
and u shall look at this
Uncommitted DiseqC Command: Input1
Uncommitted DiseqC Command: Input2

[thyristor44]

Re: More than 4 lnbs?

You can increase the number of lnbs by using more than one disecq switch. why you want use 5 lnbs? use motorized dish.

I have a motorised dish and one of the inputs to the disecq switch is from this.
I still want more inputs from the fixed dish. 4 from fixed dish and one from motor.

Can I do it with cascade 4x1 diseqc switches.

[vimmers]

Re: More than 4 lnbs?

i think so
then u shall use the 3 first then jump down to 5 6 7 8
then disecq switch 2 shall be in slot 4
with Uncommitted DiseqC Command: Input2
but i haven't tried
then the motor shall be DiseqC Mode: 1.2

[thyristor44]

Re: More than 4 lnbs?

I will try as soon as I get my second 4x1 switch.
Once again thanks

[vimmers]

Re: More than 4 lnbs?

hope it works or else u have to exchange your new 4/1 to a 8/1

[thyristor44]

Re: More than 4 lnbs?

The second 4x1 is to replace the first which is only working on three inputs so When it comes Ill try. Still not quite sure what the uncommitted switch does.

[vimmers]

Re: More than 4 lnbs?

not sure maybe cos there only are A,B,C,D
so actually a 8/1 are 2 4/1 built together
