Most DVB receivers have a IF loop. Meaning, you hook your incoming cable from the dish to the DVB receivers sat in, and loop it from the IF out to the analog receiver. If you want to watch analog you turn the DVB receiver off. If you want to watch digital your turn the analog receiver off. All you need is a short RG6 jumper cable. Now move the dish with the analog receiver to the satellite you want to see. Either receiver will get programming from that satellite. To have C-band and Ku-band reception, your dish has to be configured for both! The DVB receiver alone does not give you Ku-band.

I got a ST-9900 DVB receiver last year. I want to hook up the DVB receiver so that it can automatically switch from Ku to C band. I use the analog receiver to move the dish. I know I need a diseqc switch. I was wondering if any of you have a preference as to what brand to buy or not to buy. The same with the cables. Also step by step instructions on how to hook it up would be very much appreciated as well. I have heard that if you do it wrong you could fry out some things. Thanks in advance. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ No virus found in this incoming message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
