I will explain that how you can easily connect 32 satellites using disecq switches such as, 4x1 (4 in 1 out) & 8x1 (8 in 1 out)

This is the most only cheapest method available.

If you have up-to 8 satellites only then this setup is useful for you. Otherwise for 1-8 satellites you can use a simple Diseqc swtich 8x1 1.1.



**************​​SIMPLE / SHORT METHOD**************
​​

1. Connect your LNB using a wire (RG6) to diseqc 4x1 to port 1 (LNB 1)

2. Connect another cable from diseqc 4x1 "out / receiver" to diseqc 8x1's port / LNB 1 (as explained in the picture)​​

3. Connect another cable from diseqc 8x1 "tuner" to your STB


​​​​
​​​​



4. Open your STB settings > Menu > setup > tuners & scanning > tuner configuration

This is exactly how you have to configure the settings

This is it.


**************DETAILED METHOD**************​​


1. Connect your 1st LNB using a wire (RG6) to diseqc 4x1 to port 1 (LNB 1) (as explained in the picture)​​​​

2. Connect your 2nd LNB using a wire (RG6) to diseqc 4x1 to port 2 (LNB 2)​​

3. Connect your 3nd LNB using a wire (RG6) to diseqc 4x1 to port 3 (LNB 3)​​​​

4. Connect your 4th LNB using a wire (RG6) to diseqc 4x1 to port 4 (LNB 4)​​​​​

5. Connect another cable from diseqc 4x1 "out / receiver" to diseqc 8x1's port / LNB 1 (as explained in the picture)​​

6. Connect another cable from diseqc 8x1 "tuner" to your STB


​​
4. Open your STB settings > Menu > setup > tuners & scanning > tuner configuration

This is exactly how you have to configure the settings

​​ ​

if you successfully configured first port (1) of diseqc 8x1 with 4x1 then you can easily configure rest of the ports 1 to 8.

8x4=32

bUT SIGNAL STRENGTH IS GOING TO LOW IN THIS METHOD , I DID IT

Connect the remaining 24 satellites to the 4x1 switch: Each input on the 4x1 switch represents a satellite. Connect the satellite dishes or LNBs to these inputs accordingly.
