Help With Set Up

[SATROB]

I have a fixed sat. system and am looking to add another seperate motorised system,but can only use the one cable (at present on the fixed dish), for both systems.I am going to use a diseqc operated motor via the reciever, therefor my question is can I switch between the two LNB's also using a diseqc switch and swing the dish with the same reciever.Also how do I connect the two recievers to be able to watch either system.Is there a reciever and or swithes that will do this.The reciever needs to have a multi card reader and compatable with the european satellites. Confused. Thanks in advance.ROB.

So let me understand what you all have
-motorized setup
-fixed dish
-2 receivers

correct??

If so, the only way to have only one cable from outside is if you slave the 2nd receiver to the main using the loop out feature. You can hook up a fixed and a motorized to one receiver by doing


receiver-----motor----diseqc port 1-----motorized LNB
--------------------------diseqc port 2-----fixed dish

The drawback of the "slaving" is the slaved unit can only see same polarity as the main. If you want the 2nd box to see both polarities then you need 2 lines from outside
