Ok thanks to you guys I know that Now I need a 2 into I DisEqc switch.?
Now I need help setting up the Antena 'thing'
I have a Xtreme XTSC-520 Satellite & Terrestrial Receiver
and the Hotbird sat window looks like this
SAT= Hotbird//
TRANSPONDERr= 11****ect //
POWER LN=ON//
TYPE LNB= U-LBN1//
22Khz= Automatic//
TYPE COMMUT= None//
OPTION=None//
OV/12V=OV.....
With a DisEqc switch does the Astra window have to be the same set up (TYPE CUMMUT I have the poss of DisEqc) I suppose I should put that on both windows. But should the LNB power be OFF on the new Astra window or ON ? ie. does the switch turn it on ?
Sorry to keep on keeping on but I cant find a simple guide
Thanks
It should be one or the other. One on one off.
