What is a DiSEqC Switch and how does it work?

I go through a simple example of using a DiSEqC to bring in 2 satellite LNB’s to one receiver.
A DiSEqC switch (Digital Satellite Equipment Control Switch) is used to bring in multiple satellite LNB’s to one receiver. The DiSEqC is programmed/controlled at the receiver and automatically switches to the required satellite as you change channels.
DiSEqC 1.0 switch allows for up to 4 LNB’s to one receiver. DiSEqC 1.2 switch allows for up to 8 LNB’s to one receiver. Or more if used in conjunction with 22 kHz switches and/or splitters.

Hi Bro.
I wish to know everytime I buy new disqec switch, there must be a problem with one or two ports? Can you recommend the best and reliable brand in the market?
Based on your experience, what is the actual cause of this port problem?
Thanks in advance.
