Is a SW21 and Diseq Switch the Same?

[Elite09]

Just wondering if they are the same thing and if the SW21 can be used for fta. Thinking for 101 and 97.

I'm pretty sure SW21's are only readable through a Dish Network receiver. Maybe I'm wrong, but there could be a workaround. Depends on if it uses 22k or Diseqc technology. Standby for Ice and others whom would know more.

From those birds it sounds like your after the Glorystar package. There's a whole forum on that as well. I think they both come down on 97 and 101.

sadly Dish Network uses their own switching technology so it won't work

Tried it once with a couple KU LNB's and only got port A to work.

Sw21

I read somewhere that SW21's are 20 KHz and DTV switches are 21 KHz. Don't mix them with Diseqc switches either, I learned the hard way and smoked 'em all. EEEeeeeK!
