Rod -

If I get a 905 sidecar - can I have the following configuration -

lnb's (c&ku) to dc power blocked splitters (2-way)
split line with power to analog receiver
split line w/o power to my dvb receiver
dvb receiver if passthru to the 905

This way I can control polorization and positioning using my
analog receiver like I am now, and get the dvb and dcii on the other split line?

If so - is there an option to turn off power to the lnb on the 905 or do I need another dc block there? Will I then need at least 1 authorization hit on the 905 to get the fta dcii signals??

Joe

BIG,
Your analog and 905 co-exist together for polarity and actuator control. Think of them as one behind the other on the power pass side.
Then just put the dvb on blocked side and use the analog to set polarity {unless you know off hand the polarity the 905 is on at the moment}.

When the 905 is powered down the analog IRD controls polarity.
