Well Dero so you can't see Lnb? and get no signal well what kind of set up do you have? What I mean by setup is Box(pantec,pansat,fortec)what kind?Lnb(Dish Pro twin,dual,quad)?This will help other's help you and one more thing what kind of diseqc switch?
Thank you Anonymous I have Fortec Ulta, 500 Dish with 2 Lnb's and one 4-1 DiSEqC Switch.

Ok so your running two LNB's what kind are they? What kind of Diseqc? I understand a 4x1 diseqc but where did you get it? Now here is some good LNBS info.
Here's some info on LNBS: Dishpro vs non-Dishpro(Legacy)
DishPro TWIN or QUAD LNBs have an internal DiSEq switch and use an LO of 11250 For FTA receivers the switch settings are: DiSEq1(or A) for 119(echo7) DiSEq2(or B) for 110(echo6,8)
Use no external switches unless you are adding a 3rd satellite/LNB to your system You will also need to use a DP channel list OR manually edit the H transponders
LNBF 1. Legacy: a. single: called single legacy, one output. b. dual: called dual legacy, 2 outputs. c. twin: big fat lnbf, 2 outputs, has 2 SW21 switch built-in. d. quad: big fat lnbf, 4 outputs, has 4 SW 21 switch built-in.
2: DishPro a. single: called single DishPro, one ouput. b. dual: called dual DishPro, 2 outputs. c. twin: big fat lnbf, 2 outputs, has 2 independent Diseqc switch built-in d. quad: big fat lnbf, 4 outputs, has 4 independent Diseqc switch built-in
Switch 1. Diseqc: 2 versions: 1.0 and 2.0. People having problem with 2.0 version a. 2 ways: 2 inputs, one output. Switch up to 2 lnbfs. b. 4 ways: 4 inputs, one output. Switch up to 4 lnbfs. 2. 22khz switch: 2 inputs, one output. Switch up to 2 lnbfs. 3. 0/12v switch: 2 inputs, one output. Switch up to 2 lnbfs. (Note: 0/12v switch needs to be installed close to the receiver, therefore 2 cables has be run into your house) 4. There is no such thing as Diseqc 1.2 or 1.3 switch. The 1.2 and 1.3 (aka USALS) are for motorizing Diseqc h-h mount. 5. DP34. 3 inputs, 4 outputs. Can be used to combine a 2nd (61W or 148W)dish with DP twin or quad, so receiver will get signal from 3 sats.
Switch does not work well 1. SW21 2. Diseqc 2.0 version (either 2 ways or 4 ways).
Dish 500 1. with 2 separate legacy single or dual lnbfs. 2. with legacy twin or quads lnbf, no good.
3. with DishPro twin or quads lnbf, good. Need to use modified transponder list.******

i have 3 LNB 4-1 diseqc and 2 reciver cool*sat*5000 and lifetime ultra i bougt satellite multi switch i hocked all the blugs and when i want to watch 119 on cool*sat i have no signal on lifetime ultra (nimiq1)it works when both 119 or one of the othersi need help where to put each blug maybe i am doing it wrong
IF each LNB does not have DUAL outputs, then will not work..it they do, then just run 1 cable to each disque switch from LNB and the 1 cable from each disque to a receiver..very simple
Then U must configure each receiver for the LNB and disque switch settings U just hooked up..
I have one fortec recever two dual lnb's 1 switch 4-1 i have them working. When i hookup to the lnb with out the Diseqc switch i receive more channels, when i go through the switch i get less channels? it seems like some channels are blocked out by the switch? Thanks Dero
This is why its recommemded to perform your satellite scans WITHOUT your disque switch connected..plus this scan will ensure U are in fact receiving hje correct sat signals...
The disque does NOT BLOCK any signals out, it combines them into 1 cable...U can do TP scans for the specific missing channels...DN moves channels around to different transponders periodically...and maybe since your last blind scan..
