Who currently has this setup?
I have ST3688
Winegard 30"/75cm Offset dish (DS2076)
SG2100 DiSEqC Motor Now just
I'm close to that, just the Pansat instead of Satworks but the wiring is all the same.
I get regular digital sat stuff.
I want to use the DVM LNB TO get DVB Stuff.
Who has this setup with switches and motor and 1 Receiver?
It's all DVB (with the Satworks at least) so I assume you mean DBS LNB and DBS stuff.
Here's how you should wire yours if you're going to get a DiSEqC 2x1 or 4x1 switch (minus grounding to keep the explanation simple):
1. Cable going from receiver's "LNB/IF Input" jack to the SG2100's "to receiver" jack.
2. Cable going from SG2100's "to LNB" jack to the "to receiver" jack of the DiSEqC switch.
3. Cable going from "LNB 1" of the switch to one of the LNBS (I suggest the Ku FSS one).
4. Cable going from "LNB 2" of the switch to the other LNB (i.e. the Ku DBS one).
Here's a little diagram to make things clearer. The things in parenthises, like "(LNB)" are shortened labels for the appropriate jacks on the devices.
Code:
ST3688 (LNB) ---- (xcvr) SG2100 (LNB) ---- (xcvr) DiSEqC 2x1 (LNB 1) ---- Ku FSS
+---- (LNB 2) ---- Ku DBS
I strongly suggest you get the DiSEqC switch since they are quite cheap and greatly simplify things. For now, all you need is a DiSEqC 2x1 switch. The Satworks can handle the switching (someone else can go through the DiSEqC setup for each sat since I don't have a Satworks).
Alternatively you could buy a 22kHz switch and it should work fine in the same wiring configuration with your SG2100. It would not work, however, if you put the switch between the motor and the receiver.
