[zahidh1962]

hi i have tm3500 at the moment using for 19.2e and 13e using monoblock, and i have a cable run upto the reciever with another dish pointing at 28.2e , how can i have both cables connected to the reciever so that i do not have to keep changing to view the two satalites? all help highly appreciated

Don't think you can use a DiSEqC switch unless you swap the monobloc for 2 seperate LNBs s on a little arm. I'm pretty sure you can get a manual switch that lets you swap between A & B feeds. Search fleebay for manual LNB switch.

Not absolutely sure as I've never tried setting one up but I think you can resolve your problem with a diseqc switch or alternatively you can get a two way manual satellite switch box

found this on a quick browse with google that might help

You cant use a diseqc switch with a monoblock. A manual switch inside, or change the monoblock for 2 individual lnb's is the answer.

this gets asked a lot, why does no one make a monoblock without a switch?

suprised there isn't a 'triple block' available too 28.2 19.2 & 13

You can get them at GRAX in nottingham or one of the other branches (Leeds, Manchester, Birmingham) but you may need a trade account. Anyways, worth a try. look at www.grax.co.uk. go to satellite section and then accessories where you will find a picture and code. could be worth giving them a call. Numbers are listed under contact tab.
