Anyone have any switching diagrams of what they are currently using? Might be interesting to gather some info on specific name brands and models of switches to see how they compare in actual use; it would also assist the newbies to get started.

Specifically, diagrams of more than one receiver and lnbs/dishes on one cable run or for that matter, various cable runs. In addition to a diagram of the receiver(s) and switching arrangement, pictures would be helpful. Some info in the diagrams that I will post will be:

name and model of switches
name and model of lnb(s) or lnbf(s)
name and model of diseqc
name and model of 22 k
power injectors if applicable
any other info you feel will assist

This could turn in to a nice database for future reference for everyone. I'll post my diagram as soon as I finish with the crayons... LOL.

Well, here's my current layout. But as you can see, there was no specific planned format. Everything evolved as parts were put in service that were available at time of installation. There are better ways to cleanup the existing setup, but we are currently thinking of moving to a more sat and dog friendly environment. I think I will wait to see if I have to tear everything down before I start adding more items. About the only change I am contemplating is adding another 4 or 5 way splitter to the Motek SG2100.
