how do i link 2 receivers to 1 motorised dish

[azza_stella]

Hi

I have a tm6900 hd combo super+ and a dm500s.

What I would like to do is control the dish from either receiver.

I have read the forums about using the loop through or a switch.

tried the loop through and the signal is degraded.

not sure on what type of switch I would need and also which is compatible to both receivers.

I am currently looking to upgrade my dm500s to another tm6900.

Any guidance will be gratefully received.

I think it will but only one box will control the motor, the rest will have to watch what the main box satellite is on.

Yes that is what I ment, if he wants to watch 2 different channels not on same polarity at the same time then fixed LNB must be used.

I use a twin LNB, with 2 cables going to 2 receivers. The main receiver controls the movement of the dish. Another cheaper way is use the loop through on the main receiver to another receiver. I don't know if you lose quality with this method, with both receivers on.

I think it will .one box is goin to control the motor
the rest is going to watch what the main box satellite is at.

You are correct, only 1 box will control the motor.

I run 36 volts it's better.I know someone who runs 2 receivers on twin lnb,other way 2 move dish.He moves dish with a tm1500 & watches from other box (ie dream or receiver like that)
