this works with fixed quad lnb`s (dont know the offical name) where
every port of the lnb is fixed. but with lnb`s that includes a
miniswitch (you can connect 4 independet receivers, every port is
equal) you need the voltage and 22 khz again

i am glad to own an 8/8 switch to, the switch on my switch 
(that's get realy funny ;-) selects "A/B" and "L/H"
which is for backwardscompatibilty of an old non diseqc
analog receiver with an option for 22khz

in this special case "A/B", where the analogreceiver is able to produce
the 22 khz signal the switch does NOT connect the highband of
lnb1 but insteed the lowband for lnb2 ... so you can watch
easily the analog channels on both satellits :-))

every switch behaves identically :-)

that`s a good question ;-)

looks like a case for sed ;-)
