Hi everyone,
This is a great forum!
Anyway, I am thinking of buying an FTA system with a motorized dish. Based on all the information here it should be fairly simple to hook up. But, what I'm having trouble envisioning is how to hook this system up to two receivers. I was planning on purchasing a Invacom Quad Linear and Circular LNB and I don't know the combination of multiswitches and diseqc switches to install for two receivers and still be able to use the motor.
Can someone help?
Thanks in advance.

Here is the traditional way you would hook one receiver to a motor and QPH-031 LNB.
And the other receiver would be connected to a similar 4x1 diseqc switch to the other two outputs of the LNB, but not via the motor!
This leaves motor control to only one receiver.
A variation, lets you connect the #2 receiver to the "loop out" of the first receiver.
When both are active, the #2 receiver can only get the satellite and H or V polarity of the first receiver.
Under some circumstances, if the first receiver is turned off, the #2 receiver may be able to command the motor.
I've read about this approach, but haven't evaluated it and can't offer info on how many receivers would be compatible this way.
It will be interesting if other members can come up with a solution that's more to your liking.

I read your tutorial, it's awesome. Things make much better sense now.
Thanks!

I think I'll start off with just one receiver for now and do a lot more reading. There's a lot to learn.
Your solution is fine for me. But I'm always open to any suggestions. Thanks again!It will be interesting if other members can come up with a solution that's more to your liking.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
