So I bo't a diseqc switch to separate the ku and c dishes thinking I could run the SG2100 motor on the ku thru the switch.
Oops. The faq by anole has a single line that sez it won't work. Well...it did work...for about 20min.
Question: is there a switch that will combine signals from a motorized ku dish and a c dish. Or will I need to park the ku in one spot and not use the motor. The c dish is powered by VBox and actuator.
The ku dish has a standard lnbf and the c dish has c/ku-standard lnbf. However, I get better ku reception with ku dish.
I think I understand that a diseqc switch could be added between the lnbf and the motor on the ku and a cable run to the c dish. A 100ft run of cable would probably be enough.
A switch would settle the issue fairly quickly. A cable run will have to wait until snow is gone.
