Switching between 2 receivers on a single lnb - "Satellite Cable Switch"

[satboynoob]

i have 2 receivers. They are being fed from a single lnb. I change from receiver to receiver "by hand"
I am given to understand that I would be better off using a "satellite cable A-B switch"
I am not a technical person and would be grateful for forum members views on these items and what is best one to get
many thanks

if u have 2 receivers 1 single lnb whats the point u can only use 1 at a time its called a diseqc switch - TECHNOMATE TM-2S DISEQC SWITCH 2X1 | eBay

it probaly would be better to invest in a better lnb and some coax cable if money allows.

i use a ab switch it works fine for me tried using a diseqc switch but they kept interfering with each other and was doing my head in so went back to using the a/b switch

DiSEqC switches are used to connect a single receiver to multiple LNB's, not for connecting multiple receivers to a single LNB.

AB switches are available on Ebay F Type Satellite Cable A-B Switch FREE P&P - UK SELLER | eBay
