    Default Diseqc swith with a sw12

    Can I use a sw21 switch hooked up from a 110/119 dish with a diseqc switch? I'm trying to run on wire from dish to diseqc switch. Will this work??? I currently have 91/82 running into the 4x1 diseqc switch.

    If all the LNB's are single LNB's then you don't need the SW21, just use the 2 other port on the 4x1 Diseqc switch.

    we need more info on the types of LNB's your trying to combine.

    Some LNB's will play nice with each other, some won't.

    As Terry pointed out it's better to run all your sats to just 1 switch to reduce the chance of problems but I know this is not always do-able.

    I have always found issues going from STB>DISEQC>SW21>LNBS, I found it better to switch it around and go from STB>SW21>DISEQC>LNBS

    He only needs the 4 satellites, for all we know.

I didn't want you to think I was spending the money on myself. That's why I posted a reply explaining where the SatFix Bux went.

Here's a little token of my gratitude for your generous donation. Please accept it in the spirit that its meant...

    Yes you can but why do you want to replace it? Is it faulty and you have a sw21 lying around?
