Setup Viewsat and D*sh with DPP44
|
New member Username: Legend99Post Number: 2 Registered: Dec-06 | I am stumped! I have tried to read as much as I can but have not been able to find what I am looking for, so I ask for help. Just got a new Viewsat Ultra and am trying to hook it up with my existing setup. I have tried different combinations and so far this is the one that works the best, the problem is that I am still not getting a weak signal on the Horizontal channels. Having said that, last night when I did this setup all channels were coming in with signals over 70. Tonight on the 119 Sat i get on some channels less than 5. From the diagram you can see my setup, am I doing something wrong? need to add something? Remove something? Thanks  |

READ this! http://www.sadoun.com/Sat/Products/Dishnetwork/Switches/DPP44-switch.htm and if your setup worked fine last nite but NOT tonite, then recheck cable connections, dish alignment, cables etc..receiver antenna/dish LNB settings...and different transponders get different strengths ... And NEVER disconnect any cable or switch when receivers are powered..and may need to keep 2 receivers ON always for LNB power too!...DPP LNB's suck! |
