    What would be a good price to sell the above mentioned box for or would anyone swap it for a Gigablue?

    Reason for getting rid of is that it does not support an 8x1 Diseqc Switch.

    Can you try getting the switch to work with DiSEqC 1.2? This is supported by the Foxsat. I don't have access to a Foxsat myself to try it

    I think it says that 1.2 is for a Motorised system

    It has 1.0 and 2.0

    Maybe if you select motorised antenna, you could fool the receiver into working the switch. Probably thinks it is moving a motor, rather than simply switching between inputs.

    Definitely works with some receivers & switches, never tried it myself though.
