8 way diseqc

[biglolly]

could some one please help me set up two 8 way diseqc swithes on my vu+ duo, i have multi lnb dish with 8 twin lnb and i want to set them up on my twin tuner reciever, only have the option in tuner set up for A,B,C,D diseqc swith thnx

[basilyoung]

is this a single 8 way switch ?? ( yes i can see you have 2 rather yhan 1 ) if so, can you state the switch type or post a piccy

[biglolly]

havent brought them yet but need the advice on how to set up the reciever with the diseqc for 8 lnb's cheers

[silverfox0786]

you need some sort of 2.0 diqeque that does inteligent switching so one tethered to the other

as far as receiver the 4 is the max on it can't go to E F G H


last resort is 8 single LNB's 4 to tuner A and 4 to tuner B

[biglolly]

i was under the impression that the vu+ duo could cope with up to 16 lnb i have thw wavefrontier dish with the option for 16 lnb;s

version 1 - this is more frequently used

lnb1----->diseqc1.1------>AA Uncommited input 1
lnb2----->diseqc1.1------>AB Uncommited input 1
lnb3----->diseqc1.1------>BA Uncommited input 1
lnb4----->diseqc1.1------>BB Uncommited input 1

lnb5----->diseqc1.1------>AA Uncommited input 2
lnb6----->diseqc1.1------>AB Uncommited input 2
lnb7----->diseqc1.1------>BA Uncommited input 2
lnb8----->diseqc1.1------>BB Uncommited input 2


Option 2

lnb1----->Uncommited input 1
lnb2----->Uncommited input 2
lnb3----->Uncommited input 3
lnb4----->Uncommited input 4
lnb5----->Uncommited input 5
lnb6----->Uncommited input 6
lnb7----->Uncommited input 7
lnb8----->Uncommited input 8

found what i needed thought this might be usefull information

The TYPES Of DiSEqC

Can help you get questions ...

DiSEqC 1.0 –
Is the basic version of this switch type, being one-way, which means that only
allows the issuance from the receiver to the switch of the same type.
Controls up to 4 inputs and one output.

DiSEqC 1.1 –
Similar to the previous one, but can control up to 16 signal inputs, by allow
switching to other similar switches.

DiSEqC 1.2 –
The primary function of this version is the ability to move antennas, by use of a
engine designed specially for this Protocol. On the other hand, can also, and at the same time,
like the DiSEqC 1.1, create other four control signals and select up to 16 other antennas

DiSEqC 1.3 –
Equal to 1.2 but with USALS (with algorithm for calculating the positions of satellites as its geographical position therefore requires the geographic locations of the location of the antenna sat)


DiSEqC 2.0 –
Similar to version 1.0, but, in turn, in addition to switching allows the dialogue in two
senses so that it can provide data on switching to the operator.

DiSEqC 2.1 –
Similar to DiSEqC 1.1, but with return information to the operator.

DiSEqC 2.2 –
Similar to DiSEqC 1.2, but also with "feedback" data relating to
positioning and switching.
The possibility of feedback is important, insofar as they can at any time assess the State of installation.

Have a look at the satlex.de website - there are some useful 'Participant' diagrams under Technology, Configurations. They might be useful when considering different options.

Yes, I have managed to make my ET9000 to drive a Diseqc 1.2 motor attached to one of the ports of a Diseqc 1.1 switch
