TM-2S 2 x 1 HD Ready Satellite DiSEqC Switch

A simple and easily connected means of running two lnb units with a single input satellite receiver. Works fine with my old Golden Interstar receiver. You need to set up the switching action within the menu system of the receiver. This may be different to my own unit. As the unit is outside it`s a good idea to wrap the F-connectors in self-amalgamating tape and even cover the whole thing with a plastic bag to keep the rain out. It`s working fine using Astra satellites at 19.2 and 28.2 degrees East. Inexpensive and good quality.

I bought two of these to rationalise my computer tuner setup. I've got 2 Astra 19.2 LNBs and 4 Astra 28.2 LNBs coming from two separate Sky mini-dishes and feeding into computer tuners. Aim was to reduce computer/expansion slot requirements. All the LNB outputs now come together in the loft, then two of them from each dish join through these units making only 4 feeds in total to computer. I already had a mix of DVBSky and TBS cards. I've found the latter seem to misbehave with MediaPortal and basic Diseqc switching, but the DVBSky cards work perfectly. So, given well made connections and quality wiring, these DiSEqc switches appear to work well with compatible equipment. Even over surprisingly long cable runs, which I had been dubious about. I had to work with a previous Sky installation organised by a previous owner, cables coming half way round the house then into the wrong room (for my purposes). Rather than disturbing that, I extended the cable run from there up through the cavity two levels into the loft, then into the DisEqc switches, then back down again two levels to the right room. It still worked!

Easy to install and replace our damaged unit.

Does what its made for and very well, good price

Well made and works perfectly. Sensible price.

OK

it was not working and i need to buy a new one

seems to work ok, whereas I had problems with other makes. I bought it to go with a technomate viewer
