Easiest way to switch between two STB's?

I've never seen push-on F connectors sold, but you can buy cables with push-on F at both ends--then you just have to buy a female-female F barrel connector to mate it to you coax. I use that type of cable for a test TV I have on my test bench.

That sounds like just the thing, thanks!

I'm not responsible for damage to your equipment. I would recommend the splitter with DC pass and block method.

This might work. Get an Ecoda 22KHZ switch, I heard diseqc command will work after the 22 KHZ on this switch. Connect sub to 22K OFF port and STB to 22KHz ON port. In the STB settings, set diseqc for each or the DIK sat's and 22KHz ON. On the sub do nothing it's just a pass through... Think it works.

Sorry but wrong direction, a 22 KHz switch works with the single port controlling the two switched ports, it wont work the other direction.

They sell them, I use them all the time for TV installs.
