c and ku on an azbox?

**i1ano2** · 11-07-2009 09:56 PM

I have just got an azbox, and it is so nice. The Buckeyes looked good in HD, but the Bearcats look really good tonight!
I have a 1 meter ku with an hh motor that I had hooked up to a Mercury II. I have a bud with an actuator hooked up to a Dynamic. Is there a way to slave the AZbox off both receivers? The way I understand it is I have to have 2 seperate boxes to run 2 motorized dishes, I tried to use one box with disasterous results. And, the feeds are on both ku and c band, so is there a way to access both dishes with the Azbox?

If both LNB's are duals, you can hook both up to the azbox. That is what I have. The azbox is a "slave" to the other LNB's I have setup

lets say you have dual LNB's on both

KU output 1------motor---------------------Merc II
KU output 2------------------------diseqc switch port 1--------------azbox
C-Band output---------------------diseqc switch port 2
C-Band output 2---------------------------dynamic

Here is a thread and pic of my setup
http://www.satelliteguys.us/2006035-post14.html (Setting dish up for Pentagon channel)

The azbox can see C-Band (99W), 105 KU and a feed off either motorized. So today I was flipping between a game on 99W (ABC HD), a game on 105W, a game on 91W via the 2nd motorized while I was still scanning using the main motorized

another option and I guess it would work is to put a diseqc switch on the loop out of both receivers to the azbox

merc ii loop out-----diseqc 1-----------azbox
dynamic loop out----diseqc 2

then power off the receiver that you want (C or KU) which gives you both polarities....otherwise you only get the same polarity as what the "main" receiver is set to
