looping one box to another

[dawbrain]

i have a protek down stairs and mvision up stairs if i loop from one to another instead of direct connection to both from dish will i be able to pick up on the mvision what i get on the protek ,the motor is to the protek.thanks.

hi dawbrain

theoretically (works like this here, same configuration without motor: lnb -> protek in, protek out -> mvision): you can watch all channels on the same sat with the same polarisation (so only H or V on mvision, when the protek is on a H or V transponder).

Another question: which kind of motor (actuator? used with Diseqc 1.2? can you control your motor with your protek? easy to setup?)?

Just a little clarification:

lnb -> protek in, protek out -> mvision in

That is correct i have the same setup but it running from a spiderbox to a technomate

If watching encrypted channels does the loop through unscramble before it leaves the first box. if not you will need a line for the 2nd box.
Then you will need to check if you can use a second box with your line.

hi fandm

normally the protek has its 'own' freeserver (no cccam supported, only newcamd) - the mvision has 1) own freeserver and/or 2) cccam/newcamd ; so both boxes need their 'unscramblingdevice', so agreed with your point.

... you can watch all channels on the same sat with the same polarisation ...

You will find another limitation in low/high band (not only polarization).
Switching between the two bands is triggered by a 22 KHz tone signal.
