    Default Dual Sat config...Need help...DREAmBOX

    hi all..
    i have 2 SATs at my house tuned and hence i am currently using 2 seperate recievers...

    i have recently aquired a dreambox 7000s and would like to run bot sats of this...

    now the Main question is that the Dreambox only have 1 LNB input so i will need some sort of device which switched between LNBs, (like a multiplexer).

    here is a diagram to help you understand..

    According to your diagram - replace 'mux' with Diseqc. It should work fine after that.

    It's an electronic switch, that once it's configured in your receiver, will automatically change between LNB's, which in your case are on two separate dishes. When you change channels, the switch will select the dish that's appropriate for that channel...... automatically.

    Any satellite equipment supplier should have them.

    no, a switch. I thought mtv gave a very clear explanation.
