[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1129183, member: 82144"] Hello It would be impossible to receive [I]all[/I] channels from those 3 satellites using that particular multi-switch. Each satellite requires 4 inputs - one for each "band" (low band vertical polarisation, low band horizontal polarisation, high band vertical polarisation, and high band horizontal polarisation). Since the multi-switch has 8 inputs, you can only receive channels from 8 out of 12 bands. The key to receiving the [I]available[/I] channels is to understand which bands have been connected, and which inputs they are connected to. Nobody here can tell you this. You'll have to ask the people who installed the multi-switch. What I can say is that the multi-switch uses only two DiSEqC settings. Level1AA (or maybe simple A) selects the first group of 4 inputs (usually satellite 1). Level1BB (or maybe simple B, Level1AB, and/or Level1BA) selects the second group of 4 inputs (usually satellite 2). You have said that 3 satellites are connected, so it is [B]not [/B]as straightforward as: [LIST] [*]Level1AA = Astra 1 [*]Level1AB = Hotbird [*]Level1BA = Astra 2 [/LIST] It could be more like: [LIST] [*]Level1AA = Astra 1 [*]Level1AB = half of Hotbird, half of Astra 2 [/LIST] ...or... [LIST] [*]Level1AA = 3 quarters of Astra 1, 1 quarter of Hotbird [*]Level1AB = 3 quarters of Astra 2, 1 quarter of Hotbird, [/LIST] etc. It is a very bad idea to use those settings if you don't know what you are doing. They're called "advanced" for a reason. ;) You said: ...so my advice is leave those settings disabled. Please ask your apartment manager or the satellite installer which inputs were connected and how they did it. Regards, mm [/QUOTE]
