    Can you be a bit more specific? What kind of lnbs and motors do you have? Which receiver do you plan to use?

    Ku motors can become confused when switches are placed in between the motor and the receiver. A Chieta brand 22KHz switch has performed well for me with 2 ku motors connected to it. Some 22KHz switches may not work when installed between the motor and the receiver. This 2 motor system was wired as: Receiver--->Chieta 22Khz Switch--->Ku Motors--->Standard Ku Lnbs.

    i have a set up like that with an Ecoda 22Khz.
    3' with sg9120 motor for Ku & a 4' with hh120 for C, connected to ecoda.
    no mater what receiver i use or channel i select, both dishes move to the same sat.

    That will happen if you are using USALS on both motors or if you use diseqc 1.2 commands and do not disconnect one motor while programming another.
    You may also try using a Chieta diseqc switch in front of the ku motors.

    I do have both motors connected to ecoda (ku on 22khz, c on 0). one rg11 cable from ecoda to a chieta on port 2, then to the box.
    I do not have any more ports available on the chieta, so i must have one cable from ecoda.

    Ecoda is the correct switch brand. I mentioned Chieta earlier, and they may work, but I have only tested the Ecoda 22KHz switch in front of two Ku motors.

    The 22KHz switch does not separate power between the two ports. Motor and switch commands are also sent down both sides of the switch, and this is why both of your motors move at the same time. You will need to disconnect each motor, erase the prestored settings in them, and reprogram them one at a time using different Diseqc 1.2 positions for each motor if you do not want goth of them to move every time you change satellites.

    Solved.
    ran 1 more cable from Ku dish & combined 2 other fixed dishes into an ecoda before the chieta. this freed up 1 port into chieta.
    now each motorized dish moves independently.
