satellite switch 8 ports with universal LNBs

[ken2400]

I want to connect more than 4 LNBs to a satellite receiver BUT I seem to recall that I can not do it using universal LNBs?
I am remembering wrong?

Thanks

you are remembering right and wrong... what you cannot use are the 22KHz switches, since there's already one in the universal LNBF. So you can't stack a 4-port diseqc with 22kHz switches if the LNB(F)s are universal.

However, you can use an 8-port diseqc 1.1 switch, works great! I'm using one with several universal LNBFs without any problem

I'm using the GeoSatPro 8-port switch. I also have a Pansat 8-port but had a few problems with that one (minor problem)

Thanks I have a few 4 port diseqc switches sitting around and I think I have a 22KHz switch. I found this and I think I can go cheap and not buy an 8 port? http://www.satelliteguys.us/xen/attachments/satellite-switches-simplified-pdf

Oh well 22KHz I have is bad. Looks like I am buying something

I use an 8-port switch and it has always worked for me.

Don't ever remove or install powered cables to a 22khz switch.

I read the same thing. I bought it used at some point and this is the first time I tried to use it. Off to the recycling center.
I just bought a

GEOSATpro 8x1 DiSEqC SWITCH

Did you order it from Hypermegasat? Hypermegasat.com, FTA Switch etc Or his Ebay store, which is a few cents cheaper.
