Thanks for that.
I used to have a diseqc/splitter configuation where multiple decoders could run independantly of each other via multiple satellites, but with the recent addition of Aussie channels on D1 V, that became a problem when someone wanted to watch Freeview on D1 H.
So, are you saying that all Lnb's in a multiswitch arrangement have to be universals in order for it to work properly?
And, what of the 0.3 vs. 0.6 noise figure LNB's? Is there a marked difference in terms of signal quality between them?
Overnight I wondered whether I should go back to my diseqc/splitter arrangement, but this time include the dual LNB into the equation as well.
By re-naming D1 on my decoders to D1 (H) and D1 (V), I should be able to get around the issue. So, my diseqc arrangement would look like this..
- Port 1 = D1 (H)
- Port 2 = D1 (V)
- Port 3 = D2
- Port 4 = IS5
Ofcourse, this would mean that I'd get both pols from both D2 and IS5, as opposed to the multiswitch arrangement where the H pol dropped off D2 and V pol dropped of IS5. As there is very little our family would watch off D2 H atm, any issues would be limited.
Now do you think this arrangement would work instead of a multiswitch?
Cheers.
