I have a VS Platinum. I can watch 61.5, all channels with no problem at all. I do have a dish installed by DN with 3 lnbs and one cable coming down for American channels. My problem is I cannot use Diseq switch. I have tried different settings but would not get signals. Have tried different diseq switches as well. Whatever is connected to port 1 will come thru and that's it!

Also, for some reason, the American channels would go away after a while Or when i switch channels even when I connect the cable directly. Both S & Q will go down to zero. Although normally I would have both above 90%. Sometimes when I turn the receiver off and back on, I get the signals back. Any ideas to fix any problem. I am willing to use one cable at a time as long as I can watch american channels. It has been like this since I have had this receiver.

Any thoughts??

Thanks!

Check all ports on each satellites, check if a port is assigned on 2 satellites.

You said: "Whatever is connected to port 1 will come thru and that's it! "

That is typical of a damaged DisEqC switch - only port 1 shows. Whever you change DisEqC or connect/disconect to it, have the receivers OFF.

There could also be a conflict problem with "DN with 3 lnbs and one cable coming down". Please post the name of the LNB you are using.

I'm gonna change the switch with receiver power off. I got three different swithes.

Dish/LNBs are roof mounted and I could barely see them from down my backyard.
