Full specifications and associated documentation for the DiSEqC (Digital Satellite Equipment Control) system, which is a communication bus between satellite receivers and peripheral equipment using only the existing coaxial cable.
DiSEqC can be integrated into consumer satellite installations to replace all conventional analogue switching, providing a standardised digital system with non-proprietary commands and enabling switching in multi-satellite installations.

Important Notice
Level "2.3" is NOT a DiSEqC level that has been standardised by Eutelsat. Other DiSEqC products may not work correctly with products using this protocol. Please contact the manufacturer of any equipment carrying the non-standard and unapproved DiSEqC 2.3 logo for clarification.
Eutelsat is now considering the best way to incorporate this new protocol (if possible) in to the DiSEqC standard to ensure compatibility with all other DiSEqC products on the markets.
