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
Units; VU+Ultimo/duo/DM800/7020HD/tm9100
1.2 channel master/quad feedhorn/36volt /vbox
1 fixed dish, and 1 motorized 1mtr dish
and a pile of redundant cards/cams
havent brought them yet but need the advice on how to set up the reciever with the diseqc for 8 lnb's cheers
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

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.

thanks for clearing that up , makes more sence now thanks
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.
thanks dear biglolly. i configured as u mentioned and it works fine.
