I have a twinhan 1020a running on MT, need to know what diseqc switch to buy and any setup info. do I need legacy or pro lnb? how do I know the difference? and also the twinhan box says 1.2 diseqc compatible? does the switch have to be 1.2 or can it be 2.0? Any help is appreciated.

My setup uses the DishPro Plus LNBs and the DPP44 switch. I'm feeding 3 orbital locations into 1-DP receiver, 1-Legacy receiver and the DVB-s card. I did have to play a bit with the ini files to be able to tune the bandstacked horizontal transponders. All the channels are there (using ProgDVB and MT) except for the 8PSK and Mpeg4 stuff. I'm using the Nexus-S card, but I believe the diseqc functions should be similar.

The DPP44 was $100 on e-bay, but it does give me plenty of room to grow. If I can get over the "antenna farm" issues, I can probably add another dish for a BEV bird so that the DVB-s can get both providers.
