    The analog receiver I have, does not support KU band, cband only. I thought through the FTA STB I could control both and thru the analog receiver I could switch the Horz and Vert.

    It doesn't matter what bands the analog receiver supports as you will only be using it to control where the dish points and select the polarity.

    Connect the actuator and the servo to the analog receiver and program each satellite position. Connect the LNBs to the AZbox and either use a multi-switch modified to provide 18+vdc on all LNB ports or set the AZbox to only horizontal polarity and use a DiSEqC or 22khz switch to select the band.

    This will be a pain in the rear manage..... Personally I would swap out the feedhorn assembly to either an inexpensive LNBF or if you require performance, an orthofeed.

    Hey Brian thanks!
    Do you carry the ortho feed?
