Diseq

[richard35]

I have sats 110and 119 on a diseq and say 91can use another switch for sat82 I need a pic of how to hook up sat82 to another switch I'm running the new t5 thanks

If you have a 4x1 disesqc switch that's all you need

[richard35]

I wana hook up another disq switch and wondering how to do I have one hooked allready and need to hook one up to sat 82

[richard35]

any one no how to hook up 2 diseq switches to 4 sats I need to use 2 switches cause my sats are to far apart to run more cable I have sats 110 and 119 and 91 to 1 switch and I need to add another switch to 82 and I need to hook up another switch any one could help me with the 2 switches thanks.

[kijiji]

you would use a sw-21 with the 4x1 switches.

Lets stick to one thread on the same subject please.

I merged your two threads to avoid confusion between the two.

OK, now for your problems.

If you are useing 3 to 4 DP single band stacking LNB's for all satellites then you will only need the one Diseqc switch, all 4 DP single LNB's can run about 150 to 200 feet without serious switching problems, a heavy 12 gauge copper wire should also be run to properly ground all LNB's and the switch.

To keep the switching problems at a minimum, the switch should be located about half way in-between the two dishes (I assume your useing two dishes) with as equal a run of coax to all LNB's, then the run to the receiver will be a single coax.

Use good high quality RG-6 quad shielded coax with a PURE copper center conductor, the cheap stuff with the copper plated steel center will not do the trick for long runs.

Also the switch must be in a weather tight box or be rated for outdoor use, and should be properly grounded.

And one note to all:
Adding any type of switche to a long run will not amplify the satellite signals, switches only contribute to the over all system signal loss, the more you add the greater the signal loss will be, there are some amplified satellite switches but they are expensive and need a 110 VAC power source to run.

Any one have any pics on how to hook the switches the way I posted earlier thanks

[Terryl]

Yup here yah go.

Just a note if you have a Jynxbox Ultra it probably won't work.

[richard35]

that pic is not with 2 switches its only with 1 I need a pic of one with 2 switches so if some one has a pic could you please post it for thanks and a I have to new t5

OK the photo I posted will work fine with what you have first posted, you only need the one Diseqc switch,(most are 4x1 switches) sats 110 and 119 will go to ports 1 and 2, sats 91 and 82 will go to ports 3 and 4.

Adding a second Diseqc switch for 91 and 82 will totally confuse the heck out of your receiver, as you only have the 4 Diseqc ports, Diseqc port #1, Diseqc port #2, Diseqc port #3, Diseqc port #4, there is no way to separate them out, unless you use a 22 KHz switch, but it is far far far better to use only the one Diseqc switch.

Do you mean that you have Two (2) T5 receivers???


If so then we are talking about a whole different setup.

If you have DP type LNB's then we need to go to a DP44 switch.

We need to know exactly what types of LNB's you have.

[Terryl]

This is what it would look like useing a DP44 switch.21292Click on the image to enlarge it.

This is using 2 DP single LNB's per dish, the first receiver port on the switch will have the DP power inserter for the switch connected to it.

And why not?:noidea:

Here is the diagram you are asking for, you would need to use either an SW-21 or 22KHz switch along with another diseqc switch, but as mentioned before it's better to have the least amout of switches and connections in your set-up as possable.......
