Ok I know what you are talking about there but no where does he say he has these, from what I can tell is all he has is his FTA STB and a C band cable and a Ku band cable, no where do I see in his message where he has the splitters you are talking about.
If he isn't using these then the radioshack switch is going to do exactly what I said it will do. If he indeed has it setup like you are saying and is how mine is setup then he must be buying crappy DiSEqC switch's if they won't work within a few feat of the STB, that is why I suggested the 22KHz switch, let the STB handle it. And if it is setup with the splitters then he should have no problems using the remote rf switch. Of course if none of this works and he has just purchased this FTA STB I would return it and get a better unit, pansats at least will control the polorator motor.
