    Wink Using 8 input for 4 Sat Twin/Dual output LNBs.

    This is how it works with 4 dual standard LNB's, not Universals.
    Port A/B - Tone A, 0Hz
    Port C/D - Tone A, 22kHz
    Port E/F - Tone B, 0Hz
    Port G/H - Tone B, 22kHz
    13V & 18V for polarity switching.

    Well try this with your switch:-
    For the Strong.
    LNB Power...ON
    LNB Type ...Single
    LNB Freq......10700
    DiSEqC Switch......1.0 / 1.1

    .........22KHz...Committed...Uncommitted
    Sat 1....OFF...........1............1
    Sat 2....OFF...........2............1
    Sat 3....ON............3.............1
    Sat 4....ON............4.............1

    Been through all of that already. Even before I posted my original question.
    Hence why I asked the question just in case there was some trick to get it going.

    I guess That would be a 9 in and 16 out..
    what is one off them worth in AU$?

    G'Day,
    Perhaps I should have suggested this earlier.
    Since you are using Twin/Dual output LNBs, the 22KHz serves no useful purpose. It is possible that it in fact interferes with the tone switching.

    Obviously you're not looking at the multiswitch correctly.

    Of course the 22kHz serves a purpose, as per this table:
    Port A/B - Tone A, 0Hz
    Port C/D - Tone A, 22kHz
    Port E/F - Tone B, 0Hz
    Port G/H - Tone B, 22kHz

    As you can plainly see here, 22kHz switches between A/B and C/D on the 'A' side and E/F and G/H on the 'B' side.

    And as specified before "My Octagons, Dreamboxes and Unaohm S22+ Satellite meter operate the switch correctly" My new Relook 400s works perfectly too. So it's the Strong that can not operate it correctly.
