Anole - Thanks for your observation. Yup, I need to change the description of the 1x8 multiswitch to splitter. Should you need any drawings, please feel free to contact me. regards, Manny

FTA Layout ? Can you guys please validate this drawing ? Thanks, Manny

Guys - Is there a way to attach a PDF file here ? Thanks, Manny

Anole - Thank you for your feedback. Best regards, Manny

Iceberg - Thanks for your feedback! How does the receiver (viewsat extreme) tells the diseqc to get the signal from port 2 on multiswitch 2 ? If the diseqc can choose no more than 4 ports due to its physical limitations (4x1) how will it be able to select specific interfaces on the other...

Guys - I am interested in feeding 8 LNBs into dual Sadoun SAR411F and connect that to Sadoun SUR420F in order to distribute the signals to about 3-4 receivers. Is this the best method to distribute FTA in the house ? Is there a different mix of equipment that would allow me to distribute 8...

Chucklesk - Assume I am pointing at 97 and I get rid of the darn rotor. How do I determine my latitude, longitude and elevation if I am in Miami, FL.

Reinhold - How can I make sure that my rotor is set at 0. When I look at it is not at 0. If I go to the receiver (Viewsat Extreme vs2000) Motor --> USALS --> go to reference it does not go to 0. What am I doing wrong ? Regards, Manny

Reinhold - I read the instructions, however I still don't understand them. How can I setup the dish to point at the true south ? It seems I am unable to get past this first step. Everything else is simple to follow. However getting the first bird with a rotor seems quite complicated...

Reinhold - I am having trouble alingning my dish. First if I am in Miami, FL what is my southern most satellite so that I can setup the receiver to the true south ? Regards, Manny
