Connect 32 Satellites with Diseqc switch 8x1 & 4x1

I will explain that how you can easily connect 32 satellites using disecq switches such as, 4x1 (4 in 1 out) & 8x1 (8 in 1 out).

Hi,

This is the most only cheapest method available.

If you have up-to 8 satellites only then this setup is useful for you. Otherwise for 1-8 satellites you can use a simple Diseqc swtich 8x1 1.1.

**************SIMPLE / SHORT METHOD**************

1. Connect your LNB using a wire (RG6) to diseqc 4x1 to port 1 (LNB 1)

2. Connect another cable from diseqc 4x1 "out / receiver" to diseqc 8x1's port / LNB 1 (as explained in the picture)

3. Connect another cable from diseqc 8x1 "tuner" to your STB

4. Open your STB settings > Menu > setup > tuners & scanning > tuner configuration

This is exactly how you have to configure the settings

This is it.

**************DETAILED METHOD**************

1. Connect your 1st LNB using a wire (RG6) to diseqc 4x1 to port 1 (LNB 1) (as explained in the picture)

2. Connect your 2nd LNB using a wire (RG6) to diseqc 4x1 to port 2 (LNB 2)

3. Connect your 3nd LNB using a wire (RG6) to diseqc 4x1 to port 3 (LNB 3)

4. Connect your 4th LNB using a wire (RG6) to diseqc 4x1 to port 4 (LNB 4)

5. Connect another cable from diseqc 4x1 "out / receiver" to diseqc 8x1's port / LNB 1 (as explained in the picture)

6. Connect another cable from diseqc 8x1 "tuner" to your STB

4. Open your STB settings > Menu > setup > tuners & scanning > tuner configuration

This is exactly how you have to configure the settings

if you successfully configured first port (1) of diseqc 8x1 with 4x1 then you can easily configure rest of the ports 1 to 8.

8x4=32

Thank you : ) :thumbup:
