[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 690075, member: 82144"] Hi again gibman Your switch is a 4 port switch isn't it. What is connected to the other 2 ports? 1 (AA): ??? 2 (AB): ??? 3 (BA): 4.8e Sirius 4 4 (BB): 0.8w Thor How are you connecting your tuners - via a splitter, or changing cable from one tuner to another? If via splitter, does the splitter pass power on all ports? The default port that a tuner will pick up if DiSEqC is not working is port 1 (AA). I find it difficult to understand how the BGT3595 is picking up Thor (BB) if DiSEqC is not working. Are you using your Skystar to force the switch to port 4 then testing if the BGT3595 can force the switch to port 3? If so, you have to make sure that the Skystar isn't holding the switch on port 4 and that the splitter is passing the BGT3595 commands... Personally I use an EMP Centauri Profi Line 9x8 multiswitch. The 8 satellite inputs (the other 1 is for an aerial) are grouped like this: [CODE] DiSEqC Voltage 22kHz 1. A 13V Off 2. A 18V Off 3. A 13V On 4. A 18V On 5. B 13V Off 6. B 18V Off 7. B 13V On 8. B 18V On[/CODE] DiSEqC A = Simple A or AA DiSEqC B = Simple B (or AB I think) I only use input 2 and input 5 at the moment (not enough cables to the roof ;)), but I have no problems switching between the inputs on any of the tuners/STBs connected to the multiswitch. That would be 2 tuners (both DVB-S tuners on one of my 2 Pinnacle 7010ix's) plus 1 STB. [/QUOTE]
