2 receiver hookup

[theshark]

all,

i have 2 different recievers i want to watch in diferrent room i have a sg-2100 motor wiht a qph-031 lnb currently i have 2 cables coming from th elnb to a sw-21 switch one cable hooked to circular and the other cable connected to linear in the sw-21 switch then to the motor then out to the one reciever where do i use a switch to get 2 recivers to work

You would replicate your current setup using the 2 remaining ports on the lnb (less the motor connection).

Keep in mind that only 1 receiver can control the dish at a time.

thanks stan,

could i also use the linear cable to the sw-21 move it to the 2nd circular of thel nb then i would have 2 cables from the lnb using the circular and then going into the sw-21 then motor then out to the stb

any help on this i want to add reciever to my setup but there is only 1 connection from the motor to the stb box all im asking best possible setup th eabove doesnt make sens to me because if i run the same setup where do iconnect the cable from the sw-21 if there is already a cable to the motor

You connect the second SW21 directly to the second receiver without going through the motor... Only one receiver can be connected to the motor.

There can only be 1 receiver controlling the motor, the other receiver will have to watch what satellite the primary receiver set the motor to, no way around it, you would confuse the heck out of the motor.

Setup 1, primary receiver, (motor control) run to the motors receiver input, motors LNB input run to a SW-21, Circular on one side, linear on the other.
Setup 2, second receiver run to a SW-21, one side of the SW-21 to the second circular output on the LNB , the other to the second linear output on the LNB.

ok thanks could i just run a cable from the 2nd circular of the lnb with out a sw-21 directly to the reciever since i cannot control the motor no need to have linear

If you don't need the Linear for the second receiver, then just run the second circular side directly to the second receiver.
