Suggestions on multi receiver/lnb setup?

[HorsPlyrBil]

Just got my motorized p* dish up and running thanks to this forum. Used the custom lightweight bracket method thanks to Ziplocks plans.

I need to intergrate this system now into my existing BUD setup and am looking for the correct method ie: switches/diseqs etc.

The system is as follows
1)BUD w c/ku & 4D TV 920.. Motorized p* dish with single output LNB(xtreme II on the way)
2)Quali TV HD FTA receiver
3)Mercury II Fortec receiver
4)satwork 3618 directly cabled to a statinary p* on amc5 (This will not be intergrated at this time)

The setup I'm looking for is as follows

1)Mercury II/ will power the sg 2100 motor on P* dish. P* will provide the ku signal for the Quali TV and Mercury only . The 4dtv will get it's ku from the BUD.

2) Would like to split the c-band from the BUD to all 3 receivers, Quali, Mercury and 4dtv

This is where advice is appreciated

Where will the splitters, diseqs go?

Do I need a dc block somewhere?

Any other tips,tricks?

Thank All

This is how I do it:

I use a couple of 4x1 splitters and 4x1 diseqc switches. Just remember the splitters should be 1 port power passthrough.

Doing it as mentioned above, you will have the 1 port power passthrough going to the 4dtv. The other 3 ports will go to diseqc switches for each receiver. If you use 4x1 diseqc switches, 2 will come from the BUD, and the other 2 will be at your discretion from the ku lnbf's.

Do I need a dc block somewhere?

Not if you use a 1 port power passthrough splitter.

Any other tips,tricks?

Just be sure and remember to use 1 port power passthrough splitters. And you will need to remember the polarity from the BUD will be controlled by the 4dtv, so you will only get the polarity of whatever channel is on the 4dtv.
Hope this helps?

At this time I have Qty 2 2x1 one port power passing splitters and 1 4n1 diseq

Which port will be going to the sg2100 motor on the p* dish from the mercury recvr?

I'm guessing the port w the line from in to out?

Just don't want to blow anything. A lnb, motor or waorse a reciever

Thanks again

You're welcome. Yes, and be sure it goes to the 4dtv, with the other one to your Mercury II.
