Noob with diseqc 1.1 8x1 switch with Viewsat Extreme (diseqc 1.2 only)

Or you can put a Disqc 4X1 in front of it (and 3 more EMP Centauri 8x1s) and get 32 channels.

Bob, thanks for posting that. I have one of the newer Star Choice Dual LNBs (Quad output) that wouldn't work when connected to the EMP Centauri (believe it is a power issue between the two switches). Anyhow, after your above post, I got to thinking that may be by putting a 4x1 DiSEqC switch in front of the EMP Centauri (which would be on port 1), the Star Choice LNB might work on port 2. And it does! Even added a line (port 3) from my subscription Star Choice LNB so I can look for DVB transponders on Anik F1 & F2!

Keith,
Glad I could help, I have a 4X1 in front of a EMP 1X8 and used one of the ports on the 4X1 to go to a 22khz switch for two of my standard LNBs and a third port for a universal LNB.
