    noting the above

    i have a combo box with sat and saorview connection, if i install the wallplate does it allow me connect a second sat box or is too easy. was researching stacker destacker and single cable router when i came across this.

    You should remove the Diseqc switch first and test both outputs from the destacker to confirm whether the switch is the problem. No point buying a different Stacker/Destacker until after you've confirmed where the problem lies.

    Do you mean can it replace the DiSEqC switch in your setup? No it can't.

    That wallplate will need 2 satellite feeds, either from the lnb or both outputs of the destacker.

    Have you set up the DiSEqC switch & stacker/destacker as suggested in the other thread? (And why can't you keep all your related queries in 1 thread?)

    The SAT1/SAT2/Terr wallplate requires 2 cables from the LNB. No way around this other than a SDS.

    apologies saw this existing thread so just added to it. No thread yet on single cable router smart splitter.

    This line from the Global DiSEqC SDS leaflet confuses me a little, can someone decipher? The next line in the leaflet mentions DiSEqC loopthru which I can understand, are they referring to the SDS as DiSEqC switch in the line quoted below?
    Both LNB inputs independently selectable by voltage/tone or DiSEqC 1.2 controls

    Only sensible meaning I can take from it is that whatever is connected to each stacker input can be independently controlled, from the relevant receiver.

    researched this even more, therec are two models manufactured by that company a regular and one which is diseqc enabled, which is only marginally more expensive.

    When you say DiSEqC enabled do you mean it acts as a DiSEqC switch?

    no peter,

    my installer took it away as he didn't charge me, ( he is on hols at the moment) but on reflection it was just the reg stacker as the sds disecq enabled one has it written on it just coped it today when i was on the manufacturers website and noticed that the two models they sell have two different product codes.

    Given how cheap a disecq switch is and the disecq sds is only a few quid more it could be my solution and may have a built in disecq switch.

    Tks for all the follow up lads

    There wouldn't be any point to it having a built-in DiSEqC switch.

    Just think about it. The stacker on its own only provides 2 lnb feeds.

    If the original version isn't compatible with DiSEqC, it would be because it was aimed at users of Sky+ boxes.

    because 2 separate receivers or 2 PVR tuners can't be allowed to access the same LNB output at the same time, if that make sence?

    The only way it can work is if you attach a DiSEqC switch between the stacker and the LNBs or a multiswitch of course.

    The DiSEqC SDS is designed to allow DiSEqC commands loop thru both the standard downlink and the upconverted downlink frequencies it appears, something it couldn't do before I guess.
