My Satellite Setup
Motorised dish 45E - 30W, Clarke-Tech ET9000

Hello,

Can you please help with extra equipment I need to make the most of this setup?
The most important is Box 1.
The red line is a cable which additionally supplies power to Moteck 2100 rotor. It is preferred to control the rotor using Box 1. All boxes are Mutant HD 51 with 2 single DVB-S2X tuners.
I understand I need some clever DiSEqC switches which can pass current to the rotor.
If it is a problem I can eliminate the terrestrial antenna.

Since you are using twin input tuners (as I have done before now) there should be no confict anywhere, apart from identifying which receiver drives the motorised dish, in which case you should turn off DiSEqC 1.2 continuous repeats on the other two.

For terrestrial just diplex out at each room socket

Hello,
Thanks but it is very limited in functionality.
I want to run 2 cables from the multiswitch to each box. Before entering the box I want ro mix the signal from T90 dish with the signal from my motorized dish.
As far as I know now, I need at least 3 or perhaps 4 or 6 uncommitted DiSEqC switches. They are not so easily available though. Such as S2/1PCN-W1 from EMP-Centauri or something from Spaun.

Thanks.
How to turn off DiSEqC 1.2 continuous repeats on the other two receivers?
I use OpenPLi.
 
|f they are to be slave only receivers you can set up the fixed dish port to DiSEqC 1.0 only.

For the motorised port you could keep the 1.2 or usals commands on and ensure you are only using the fixed dish when trained on one of the steerable satellites. Repeat/continuous commands are usually set up within the same menu, depending on receiver..

The issue of overriding will only crop up if you are watching different channels on the secondary receivers and you change positions.
 
Hi

It's not possible (I think); I don't know of a switch (DiSEqC) that covers the frequency range from 300 MHz to 2350 MHz.
You want to combine 2 technologies (wideband and universal)!

DiSEqC switch S2/1PCN-W1 Frequency range 950 - 2300 MHz
LNB Inverto IDLP-WDB401 IF frequency range 300 ~ 2350 MHz
