Question about switches

[RVD420]

I know most 22Khz switches do not pass diseqc commands.

I was wondering if anyone knows of an 22Khz switch that does pass diseqc commands?

right now I am using 2 4 way diseqc switches. And just flipping the switch on the receiver, and swapping cables when I want to switch between the diseqc switches.

So a 22khz the passes diseqc would be the easiest (and hopefully cheapest solution)

ecoda switches will pass diseqc tones. I have 2 of them but havent hooked up yet

if you want even more inputs you can attach an uncommited switch (like the spaun 420) before the regular 4x1

ird -> uncommited 4x1 -> regular 4x1 -> lnb

this will get you a total of upto 16 lnb's, 32 if you add 22khz switch's in.

but encoda are alot cheaper for now, uncommited switch's will run you around $60usd

Guess I'll have to check Sadoun, or one of the advertisers here.

I dont think they carry them

I got mine at the Bay
(rather inexpensive too)

The ecoda switches work nice. However, your scenario might be best served by placing some 22k switches behind your diseqc switch. If you watch eBay, you can probably buy a group of 4 standard switches for the price of one ecoda (and you'll have a spare diseqc switch!) Either way you go, 22k is a quick and easy way to do what you're looking for
