FlexBlock

[MrMylesG]

Okay guys,

I have a slight problem. I bought a FlexBlock from DVB Master and installed it on my 1m motorized dish. I have two LNBs installed. One goes through the motor mount and both go through a Disqsec switch, port 3 and 4.

My FTA lnb is set up on port4, but of course there is no power going to the motor, because the dish lnb is connected to the motor via disqec port 3.

Using my Ultra, I can move the dish around all day long using port 3. Does anyone have a clue about a setup that will allow me to use both ports to control the dish movement?

If worse comes to worse, I'll just put my FTA lnb on by itself and watch TV. This is no problem since I watch FTA most of the time from the other room anyway.

BTW, I do subscribe to Dish. I was checking out some C-Band programming packages yesterday and they are quite reasonable. Especially if the picture quality is as good as many people say... May be an alternative someday.

If you can, put the switch between the motor and LNB...I tried that once, and was able to get it to move for both DBS and KU. I have since moved the switch outside of that. Now will the motor move when you pick any of the 4 is anybody's guess.

As for the C-band issue. Here is a simple comparison

Dish crams 8-12 channels per transponder resulting in compression
C-band analog is 1 channel per TP

If you have an analog KU reciver, see the difference between analog and digital KU.

Thanks Iceberg!!!

Made the change and now I can get both FTA and my dish programming from the same dish! Thanks for the assistance.
