[SBE] Satellite signal loss detection and switching

[Stu Casteel]

depends on what you actually want to monitor and with what IRD, most 
have some level of fault relay that can be used to trigger a switch 
but it may not be triggering on what you want

there are a number of baseband and transport layer switches that can 
trigger on various events from loss of video and or audio to TRT 101 
priority 1,2 & 3

all depends on how much you want to spend
