Yes, you just have to buy a dual lnb and select no motor=sat1 from the receiver setup.

Re: dual lnb setup

It is possible to control 1 motror with 2 boxes?

Re: dual lnb setup

You can't control 1 motor with 2 receivers for simply reason when you move the dish with one box the other will not know it so it will loose the position.
You can install a twin LNB and just one receiver must be connected to the motor, in this way you'll move the dish with one receiver and you'll have signal also on other receiver. Of course you'll be able to watch chennels ever on same satellite where motor is positioned.

Re: dual lnb setup

you can't control the motor from the second receiver. the cable goes straight from the LNB to the receiver. only the first receiver is connected through the motor.
with the current setup on the second receiver you can watch different channels from the same satellite. receiver 1 controls the motor.

If you use Diseqc or Usals motor, the motor stores his position and will comunicate it to receiver when it will try to move the dish.

No because you'll create a conflict between the two receivers. Also the motor has only one input and one output, so you should to split the cable at box entrance. Anyway it don't works.

Re: dual lnb setup

Yes you need diseq switch and follow

To use two lnb to form in diseq one of the lnb A and in B other one

same settings goes in your sat box as well.

Re: dual lnb setup

Well yes you can, but not if you are pointing at the centre of the dish.
