Two motorised dishes with single receiver ?

[john_robot]

Hi, Is there any way to use Two motorized dishes with single receiver ?

I am in Asia and I have to setup a one additional dish for S band and that S band LNB has KU output as well. So I just thought to set it to the east side because I cant reach east from my other motorized dish. But how to get both attached to a single receiver is the issue.

pls help.

Off course.
Use a diseqc switch, and connect the two motors between the input ports of the switch and the two LNBs.

The switch must be able to endure the motor current though, so must be minimum 500 mA.

Edit: Or do you use actuators and V-boxes? The 'current' issue doens't apply then, I guess, because the power goes over separate cables.
