Here is the scenario:
I convinced the boss to get an FTA receiver. How did I do this? He says he wanted more sound from NCAA press conferences for our sports stations. So, I offered him the idea of FTA.
He was all abuzz and wild for it but there is one MAJOR problem. It is gonna cost us $5000 (so he claims) for the running of an extra coax line to the top of the 5 story building of which we are on the 1st floor. So, I began thinking of ideas. This is where I need your help.
We have 3 different sets of coax coming down for different systems.
#1 - 12 footer fixed C-band dish with one line coming down into a signal processor for ONE polarity ONLY! Horizontal for AMC-8 radio networks. I already know this is out of the question and won't work due to single polarity.
#2 - 1 Meter Ku dish aimed at 103 West (AMC-1) for the AP News wire. Not sure whether or not the receiver uses 22k or not. (chances are it doesn't and it might be the best bet)
#3 - Standard DirecTV dish sub for our TV viewing/news partner sound from WFOR.
Coax setups 2 or 3 may work involving 22k or Diseqc. I need help! Brain is fried from thinking it over. Basically need to know on which of these lines I/We can install a motorized Ku system without causing errors to the system or having to run another line of coax.
