What if you wanna change satellite? Do you have to turn the vu solo back on?I use mine in the same way I just put a 2 way DC splitter near the boxes and use by solo4k to drive the dish and motor. I then put the solo4k in deep standby and power on the viark. I've been doing this for 2 years with no problems.
Got a link for the DC splitter? As @Kurdt Kobain mentioned before you, the satellite switch may be a better option
