DiSEqC 1.2 - 2 on 1 RG6 cable?? - Free to Air Satellite Forums (Asia Pacific) - Sponsored by aDigitaLife.com Audio Visual Suppliers

Is it possible to you use two DiSEqC 1.2 set ups on 2 seperate dishes via the one receiver and one coaxial cable run? I have one in operation now working very well.

Further to that, if two DiSEqC 1.2 set ups are possible can you use them in conjunction with a 22 KHz switch that switches between the 2 dishes via the receiver? I really don't want to do another RG6 coaxial cable run!!

I know I'm able to use the 22 KHz switch with one DiSEqC 1.2 set up to the first dish but don't know about two DiSEqC 1.2 via V-Box to actuator arm on the 2nd dish.

I might be wanting to do a bit to much here but it is worth the ask if someone knows. The 5400Z manual doesn't really state its limitaions.

I'm having a similar problem with a 22khz switch and 2 Diseqc 1.2 motors. It seems that the switch is slower than the diseqc 1.2 command so the wrong dish moves. I'm going to buy a 0/12V switch to see if it fixes the problem.

Hi Vetrun, sorry I keep posting my threads in the wrong sections.

My understanding is the receiver uses DiSEqC 1.2 to talk to the V-Box/actuator and the 0/22 Controlled switch to switch dish. The 13 and 18 V to send back both polarities respectively off either the 22KHz or 0 KHz. I think that's right?

quote: "It seems that the switch is slower than the diseqc 1.2 command so the wrong dish moves."

So both of your dishes are on their respective V-Box/actuators? Would this all be using the one receiver?

So the 0/12 V switch is to replace the 22 KHz switch, yeah?

That's interesting let us know how it works out.

Regards, Daneyboy

I have a vbox and a moteck Diseqc motor connected to the 1 receiver. At the moment I only have the vbox working and the moteck doesn't move. I have no idea if replacing the 22khz switch with a 0/12V switch will work but its worth a try.

When I change channels from Cband to the motech motor (ku) the vbox on the cband setup moves to position 1 on the vbox but the right ku channel appears but the ku dish can't move with this setup.

If your humax is allcammed the new TUX 3.1 looks like it should be able to do it:

- New DiSEqC function to use a DiSEqC switch and up to 4 DiSEqC motors at the same time.

I'll let you know how it goes.

Works great with a 2 port Diseqc switch with a vbox on one port and a moteck motor on the other.

i've just been trying to this no luck with 5400z , looks like i will have to find a z board or another decoder ( thinking about xtreme)

sax0607 · 22-10-2003, 03:57 AM

got an xtreme decoder ( or 2) now moteck stab mount and 2.3 c-band motorized on one decoder using 0/12v switch............very happy now , also like the terestial digital on xtreme
