OTHER Connecting 2 diseqc 1.1 8x1 switches

[Captain Midnight]

I am adding a torrodial dish to my Ku farm and am curious about adding 8 more inputs to my current 8x1 system. Is there anything I can do other than spending $30 on an ecoda 22khz switch? I have another extra 4x1 diseqc switch handy too btw

Yes, receiver to 4x1, then put an 8x1 on port 1, and an 8x1 on port 2 (etc.).
Most receivers should handle it. I currently have two receivers (AZBox and Amiko) with a 4x1 and one 8x1 on port one.

That's what I was hoping for.

Solved! Thanks again, Keith.
