thanks ice! ill give it a try when i get switch. :hatsoff:

Cool...so do I turn the disq ports off in the antenna setup on my pansat and turn the 22Khz on? Then both lines from the invacom will be seen by the pansat?

I've never used one of those. Can it be used in place of the diseqc on my invacom?

Because when the pro installed it he checked all possible locations. He even mounted a roof mount in a different location before deciding on the current location.

Before I went to all that trouble I would just run a new line from y quad port LNB and bypass the switch but I was hoping there was a receiver option available. Guess not though.

if i have it moved then i'll loose 119. the spot it is in now is the only place all 3 can be seen. i have alot of trees.

Because of LOS issues I can't get better than 40% on 101 wit my dtv dish. I'd lke to use my FTA dish to watch 101 since that dish has no LOS issues with that sat. However the dtv receiver can't address a disque port..any way around this? :hatsoff:

Do a search on the Dreambox. An open source linux based dvb receiver. I suppose you could upload a different algorithm for locating the satellites or create a module to do so but...... not real sure it would be worth the effort since usals works quite well for most people. :hatsoff:

I believe the current passing limits for most of the 1.2 switches is .5 amps. Regular use may eventually burn it out but it should work. One of the gold sponsors posted a diagram of how to use 2 receivers to run one motor which required the switch befor the motor as well.

If you got the receiver for free then spending $25 for ready made jtag cable on ebay is still a deal.

Try putting the TV on mute.

Channel master is the way, I agree. Takes like 30 secs, no cables. :hatsoff:

HAHAHA! Add the Paint Drying Channel

Mining channel? They would probably be "blowin s**t up" count me in!:p

Interesting..I've been tossing this very idea around in my head. I thought about using the back of a 1m dish to form a fiberglass skin, one cloth layer thick. My idea was to make a light weigh add-on for 76 cm dishes. The LNB arm would of course need to match the larger dish that was molded...
