    Default switch for fixed c-band and ku-band dish with dm500s

    hi guys,
    i got one 2.3 metre mesh c-band dish fixed to asiasat3 and 1 ku band 90cm dish pointing to optusc1.
    my receiver is dreambox 500s.
    my challenge is to input the signal from 2 lnb/dish to the receiver same time.



    right now i have been moving the cable to different lnb to watch different dish.
    i heard about diseqc switch is needed for this purpose.i am new to this kind of switch.any guide would be useful.
    what sort of switch do i need to buy?
    and will that work with my dreambox receiver,
    when i use the switch ,if i change channels in my dreambox receiver,will it be like,if i go to optusc1 channels i will get singal from optusc1 channel and if i select asiasat3 channels i will get asiasat3 channels.
    how does it work?
    thanks

    All you need is a decent quality DiSEqC switch like this and you then turn on the appropriate settings in the dream to switch between the dishes.

    You should be able to find one from a local supplier or even a cheaper brand.

    What would you do if your server was stolen or failed beyond repair?

    Let us put it this way, if it does not work it is not the fault of the diseqc
    Try a 32way multiswitch, these are fun but some images just do it better than others.
