Sorry ... no twin head ... I have two LNBs on the dish ... connected to one disecq

Maybe It's the solution ... what do you think ?

Don't know exactly what you want to do but looks like you want hook up 1 dish with 2 lnbs to 2 receptors but only 1 TV? In this case you can only be watching 1 receptor at a time unless your tv has PIP. Why don't you just put a cable(same kind of cable that connects the lnb to the receptor) from the output of one receptor to the input of the second receptor. Just have to make sure you only have 1 receptor on at a time. There are other ways but much more costly and time consuming.

By the way don't even try to use the splitter in the above picture. This is only used to split cable/TV signals.

Sorry but the splitter is used to split SAT signal ... And will work perfectly ...
I just need to be able to look TV which one receiver at a time ... So only one demo will be on ...
But I will try to link the two receiver by the output input ... maybe it will work also .... Thanks

G'day Cobbers,
I think you have missed the point entirely.
In the configuration suggested you must have a master and slave STB.
You cannot have both controlling the switch.
If you just use the master to control, it also controls H & V polarity.
This is overcome in Motels etc. , by using a dual H/V LNBF and for two Sats you would require two of these with rather complicated switching to get the system that you suggest.
Each slave would then switch between H/V as well as Sats. Not impossible, but not easy either.

Kindest Regards, Bill and the FunFiles Team.

So better to just plug the Demo I want to use and unplugged the one I don't want to use ... Right ?

I have a setup with 2 receivers using the output/input and no problems. Like I said, only one receiver can be on at a time for the reason (beer4life) explained. Good luck.

OK ... everything is set-up and working fine ...
I just used the in/out plugs to connect the two demos (receivers) and it works perfectly.
Just have to use one receiver at a time ...
Solution at no cost ... only a 30 cm coaxial cable ´...
Thanks all.
