Diseqc 1.1 uncommitted switches

 

My goal is always to be able to connect the most lnb at the same time simultaneously.  I began with 4 ports diseqc switches, 8 ports committed/uncommitted switches, then I found this switch.

Made by EMP-Centauri this switch consist of 8 uncommitted ports.  Uncommitted ports (or diseqc 1.1 ports) are not supported by every receivers and software.

Those I know that support it are :

Coolsat 6000

Extreme View Magnum XV3300

My Theatre (dvb software) Http://www.dvbcore.com

Also where this gets very interesting is the fact that you can put committed diseqc switches behind this.  This mean that you can place this switch and on each port place a 4 ports diseqc switches.  This will give you 32 lnbs.  And if you place in front of the emp switch an ecoda 22khz switch then you can go easily to 64...

Here is an example.

Of course you don't have to go to 64 and probably you can't get 64 sats but technology wise this is exciting.  If you know of any other receivers that supports diseqc 1.1 please let me know and I will gladly add them.
