I have read on a lot of forums that you couldnt use a monoblock in a diseqc switch as the monoblock already uses its own switch internally.
Finally i found a forum that said it was possible, and I tried it out and it works.
If this is common knowledge then i'm just telling u things u already know, but this may benefit people who didnt think it was possible.
The setup i was looking to combine into 1 single satellite output was:
fixed dish at 28.2
fixed dish at 13 and 19.2 with monoblock
so the correct method of doing this is as follows:
1. monoblock lnb feeds into the 'input' of a satellite or cable splitter (1 in, 2 out. must have dc pass on both sides)
2, Create 2 small patch satellite leads, connect each of them to the 2 'outputs' on the splitter.
3. On ur diseqc switch connect the 2 outputs from the splitter to lnb1 and lnb2
4. Connect 28.2 fixed lnb to lnb 3
5. Connect patch cable from output of diseqc to satellite box.
