DiSEqC Switches
If you want to receive 2-16 satellites, you can use a DiSEqC switch to receive several satellites by connecting as many LNBs.
The first number in the DiSEqC switch name tells you how many LNBs you can connect to it, and the second number tells you how many tuners you can connect it to. For example a 4/1 DiSEqC switch would allow you connect 4 LNBs to 1 tuner.
To be able to operate a 2/1 or 4/1 DiSEqC switch, you must have a DiSEqC 1.0 compliant DVB receiver and to be able to operate a DiSEqC 8/1 or 16/1 switch, you must have a DiSEqC 1.1 compliant DVB receiver. Virtually all new DVB receivers are at least DiSEqC 1.0 compliant.
