Which multiswitch ?

pa990

I think my multiswitch has died, awaiting a full diagnosis.

I currently have a EMP Centauri Profi line 9/16

now i only use astra 28, so my replacement will be a 5/16 or 5/20 or 5/24

of the following brands, which would be best ?

Triax 5/16NT http://www.hm-sat-shop.de/en/multischalter-triax/triax-multischalter-5-16-nt.html

Emp Centuari 5/20 http://www.hm-sat-shop.de/en/multischalter-profiline/profiline-multischalter-5-20-p-149-cp-20.html

Emp Centuari 5/24 http://www.hm-sat-shop.de/en/multischalter-profiline/profiline-multischalter-5-24-p-149-cp-24.html

or would you recommend / advise something else ?


thanks

also, i currently have a Edision Quattro LNB, QL-5, 0.2 dB, LNB, would it be worth my while updating this to a 0.1db ??

How old is the EMP Centauri as IIRC they have a good enough warranty?

I've used EMP in the past and so far, so good. The profi has the ability to adjust satellite inputs in case levels are too high, which I don't think the Triax has.

Regarding the LNB, if it's working, leave it alone as changing it would be quite insignificant, especially for 28°E.

It's possible that only the Power supply has failed. Is it internal or external? have you tested it with a multimeter? It may be quite simple to fix.

Looks like its the lnb at fault, awaiting a quatro.

Hopefully it is, cheaper solution than a new Multiswitch.

I found that the warranty on EMP Centauri is 4 years.

Lnb was at fault, quick swap and back in business
