where could one find a voltage switching power inserter (13/18Vdc)???? want to run more then one STB
 
How many dishes/LNBFs will you need to feed to this switch?
 
You could also get something like this:

This puts everything into one unit like what Fred did. I have never used a unit like this myself, but always wanted to. They are kind of pricey, but maybe easier.

hey that would work too. got 8 outputs and looks like i can hook up four lnbs. i really didnt want to buy dual output lnbs tho grrrrrrrr
 
Yes, you will have to replace your LNB's if you what more than one receiver.
 
i have two titanium c1-pll and one titanium dual. will soon have another dish with a dual. so in the end i will have two dual and two single
 
I'm running 4 Titanium dual output LNB's with 4 BUD's. I will use one output from each of the four dishes to a diseqc switch, and the other four to an additional switch for the 2nd receiver in the dining room. I will be receiving channels from 97, 99, 101 and 87 West for now. I locked down all the dishes except the dish pointing at 97W so I can look around on other satellites to see what's on them, or to watch programming on a different satellite without installing a 5th dish.

Sometimes that's a problem using that Pansat piece of crap motor drive box. Last night I was moving it to 91W to check out some channels there and it went bonkers. Lost the programmed positions and wouldn't let the dish move either way. Sometimes it shuts down leaving weird characters on the display and it won't do a thing until you deprogram it and start over. I am using shielded cable buried in a separate trench to the house, and it still goes stupid. I should have bought a Titanium motor box.

Once I get all 4 dishes set where I want them, I may invest on one just to avoid having to deal with the Pansat piece of crap. I bought it against my better judgement, thinking it was improved over what it was years ago. My stupidity. It has the same crappy menu for labeling satellites as it did before. Live and learn. :)
