[phiberz]

Hi!

Does anyone know if it´s possible to have 2 DB7000 boxes at tha same place and be able to change channel on one reciver witout both changing at the same time?

Ex.)
Box 1- Lets say it on Channel 1
Box 2- Lets say it on Channel 2

I want to pick up the remote to Box2 and change it to channel 4 WITHOUT having Box1 changing channel also.

Later i want to change Box1 to channel 3 with it´s remote control also WITOUT Box2 changing channel.

Does anyone know if this is possible???

unless you can put them far enoung apart, i think it would take a change in the remotes software to make it's key strokes send a different signal, or a different remote and changing of the software on the DB to pick it up. Another idea maybe to use a pocket pc or something with a web interface.....

my 2 cents......

You can start up your Explorer or the browser in DreamBox Control Center and connect to your box via it's IP address and change channels.

It may be a basic response, but you could try:

Positioning the boxes with the front panels 90 degrees front each other. And place a seperator between the two.

Then to change box 1, aim your remote to bounce off the nearest wall to box 1 to change that channel, and like wise with box 2.

Or purchase a remote extender kit (this sends the IR signals from a RX sensor to a seperate IR Transmitting LED), and place the transmitting LED of the extender kit directly infront of your 7000 remote sensor, and shield any outside IR with a black cloth of such.

Then place the IR receiver in a location that won't pick up your other boxes IR. ie: on the other side of the room, or at nearest wall to your favourite chair.

Therefore to control box 1, aim at boxes. And Box 2 aim at extender.

you can use the Plugin "db_switch" by mechatron. this plugin active alternatively one remote controle. a simple search on google with "db_switch" and you find it for download

Another problem is :
Do you have 2 dishes or one ?
When changing disecq, polarity or even frequency on one Dreambox, by choosing a different channel for example, it will surely freeze image on the other one...
