It's a universal twin-lnb with two f-connectors (female) at the bottom of the lnb. All three lnb's are twin's. From the bottoms I have pulled two cables to two separate diseqc's. One diseqc is for my standalone receiver and the other for my pc. I have no idea if the lnb's have inbuilt switches, couldn't find any info on the lnb's either than the normal text's.
No, those LNBs just have two separate outputs. They behave exactly like two independent universal LNBs, but they happen to see the same satellite on the same dish.
Oh yeah, the twin's are bought from our famous everyday shop called Biltema (here's the link for the lnb: http://www.biltema.fi/osteri/osteri.cgi?sivu=skriptisivut/index_kauppa.htm&a...)
The diseqc's are also bought from the same quality shop (here's the link for the diseqc: http://www.biltema.fi/osteri/osteri.cgi?sivu=skriptisivut/index_kauppa.htm&a...)
I know this stuff. I bought those once and got too interested in satellite systems and upgraded soon to a four-LNB multifocus Triax dish. (Astra1, Hotbird, Sirius and Thor with a single dish)
The old Biltema dish went to my parents' summer cottage. :) Works there with no problems, with a 99e FTA dvb-s box.
I have tried both of the diseqc's with my pc, both behaving exactly the same. However, the standalone receiver has no problems with the lnb's nor the diseqc switches (I tested with both switches).
Hrrmhmph, I bet your 4x1 switch behaves like mine. Those other guys use F0..F4 command byte to address the ports, but my diseqc switch uses these command bytes:
#22 Position A #23 Option A #26 Position B #27 Option B # port 1 option a position a # port 2 option a position b # port 3 option b position a # port 4 option b position b
The above applies to Biltema 4x1 switch and to my current switch too. Don't remember the name, though. Might have been Digiality or not.
So in your setup I assume that you have ports and LNBs like this:
1 - S1.0W 2 - S5.0E 3 - S13.0E 4 - not used
This diseqc.conf should do the trick:
# port 1 S1.0W 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S1.0W 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T S1.0W 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S1.0W 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T
# port 2 S5.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t S5.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T S5.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t S5.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 23] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T
# port 3 S13.0E 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S13.0E 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T S13.0E 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 t S13.0E 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 22] W15 T
# port 4 #Sxx.yE 11700 V 9750 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t #Sxx.yE 99999 V 10600 t v W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T #Sxx.yE 11700 H 9750 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 t #Sxx.yE 99999 H 10600 t V W15 [E0 10 27] W15 [E0 10 26] W15 T
If the order of ports is different, just edit that. Not that difficult, is it? Just read the diseqc pdf spec. :)
