I set my 3" dia. post yesterday and the concrete should be cured enough by tomorrow afternoon, to set the dish on the post mount. My BUD has a Chaparral feed and single C-Band and Ku Band LNBs (w/polar servo).
The next step will be to run my cable to the two rooms where I want to have STBs. I currently have a ViewSat PVR-7000. Eventually I want to add a second STB, maybe something that can deal with the BUD motor and servo control directly. For now, I am waiting for the G-Box V4000. (I understand the V4000 is still several months out)
What I need now (while I'm awaiting the V4000) is some direction on how to run the coax cabling. I read/hear about DeSEqC switch, etc.. I'm still confused about how to combine and seperate the signal from these LNBs. Also can two different STBs be wired into the control of the rotor and polar servo. (Not to be used at the sametime, just to be able to have the control available in seperate rooms).
I'm still looking for a good deal on 175 ft of flat cable before I can start the cable install.
Any recommendations or links would be appreciated.
