Well I built my grandparents system as a DVB-S/DiSEqC fixed system.
The time has come to add a DSR-922 into the mix but I learned that the DSR-922 does NOT like the Loop-Out of a Coolsat 6000.
Everything ends up powering down as though there is a direct short is in the line.
I'm in the slow process of learning the DSR-922 and where to point the Dish for G1, etc.
But what I need to know is a way to slave the DSR-922 to the rest of the system. Yes, I've read up on Hi-Freq one-leg-power-pass splitters. I'm too tight on money right now to go get those. And I don't think my PerfectVision VHF-UHF/SAT Diplexers will work like those splitters. And I don't think a Dishpro Plus separator will work either. SOMEONE CONFIRM/CORRECT ME PLEASE!
Scrap that... After cleaning the actuator and installing it yesterday I saw that the ribbon cable that is buried is dual rg-6 and not the single rg-6 run of ribbon cable I thought I had. While typing this out, I realized everything is already in place. I need to do this all the right way instead of jury-rigging it.
On top of all that I have a spare mesh BUD that I might as well aim at BYU on 97W G19 C-band
BYU on 89W G28 Ku-band is too weak here.
I'll just put another BUD up and run the systems separate.
But that means finding 3" pipe for poles
If anyone has any ideas, here are the required channels with the system right now.
And I think I'll modify it to this:
I've got polarotors to chose from but I'd probably get a voltage switched LNBF for the 4DTV system to ensure reliability.
