Cannot get 110 and 119 together....

Bronze Member Username: Jaye50Post Number: 35 Registered: Aug-07 | this has got me pulling my hair out....i've finally converted.....conversion went fine....but i cannot get echo 7 and echo 8 to come in together....half the time if i scan echo 7 it picks up echo 8 channels....and when i can get echo 7 to scan first....and then scan echo 8....it gives me duplicates of the echo 7 channels.... i've got echo 7 on switch 2.....echo 8 on switch 3....i've got good signal....and good quality on both....until i scan and try to get the channels....then one of the sats will give me "no signal".... is it possible that the skew is off and i'm only picking up one sat at a time?? |

Bronze Member Username: Jaye50Post Number: 37 Registered: Aug-07 | sorry....dual lnb....dish500....standard 4x switch |

Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2429 Registered: Sep-06 | ok cool we can fix that. how is it connected? With the dish500 you dont ever use a disqc switch it has one built in. Your recediver can only conltol one switch so everthing gets confused. I is mAde for 2 receivers to get 110-119 at the same time that is what the 2 ports on the lnb are for. you run 1 coax from the receiver to the lnb. in antenna settings you do 119 on disqc 1 and 110 on disqc 2......now my dish500 likes 119 on 3 and 110 on 4 so play with the disqc settings some.. |

Bronze Member Username: Jaye50Post Number: 38 Registered: Aug-07 | sorry again...lol....two dual lnb's |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2430 Registered: Sep-06 | ok well the way you decribed the problem is a switching problem.....please ID the lnb's and decribe what sat's you are trying to receive? 2 or 4 lnb's? are they both dish pro or dish 500? |
|
Bronze Member Username: Jaye50Post Number: 39 Registered: Aug-07 | one lnb on the dish is labeled 119...and the other is labelec 110.....i've got coax from the lnb labeled 119 runing to disqc switch 3....and the coax from lnb labeled 110 running to switch 2..... before i converted....the flu blind scan picked up both sats with the same setup i have now....but after the conversion....blind scan will only pick up one sat at a time.....i have to scan them individually.... |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 6530 Registered: Jun-06 | "Two dual LNBs". A dual LNB has two cables coming out of it for two receivers. Two dual LNBs have a total of 4 cables out for two receivers. You should get one cable from one dual to Port 1 and one cable from the other dual to port 2 of your switch. Then in Antenna setup use Echo 7 (119)W to port 1. Do NOT set Echo 8.1 Do a blind Scan. If you get all 8.1 channels, then go into channels edit and Delete the sat. Teh in antenna setup use Echo 8.1 (110W) to port 1 and Echo 7 to none. Do a blind scan. Now set what you have on Port 1 to none and the other one to port 2, and do a blind scan. If you have second sat, it will likely be pointing to 61.5 and should be connected to port 3 or4 of your disEqC If you have a second receiver, use a second DisEqC switch and get the second cable form one dual to it and the second cable form the other dual to it as well. If there is a second dishand has a dual on it, the two cables are meant for two receivers via two switches. |

Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2432 Registered: Sep-06 | i bet its a dish pro or dish500 thats the way they are marked the 110-119 lable is for you to see what lnb you point to the sats not what port has those sats.....the lnb is for 2 receivers try the set up i decribed for dish 500 getting rid of the switch it is not needed. |

Gold Member Username: NydasPost Number: 6532 Registered: Jun-06 | What TFT is saying is that it is a twin LNB. TWIN LNBs are OK if you are not going ot have a second Sat. If it is as TFT says, he will give you the settings for it. |

Bronze Member Username: Jaye50Post Number: 40 Registered: Aug-07 | yeah....it's a dish 500 with two dual lnb's for two recievers....i've got one coax from each lnb running to the switch.....using one reciever....ft....how do you hook up the two lnb's without using the switch??? when i scan....do i need to scan one sat with the other not connected at all?? nalin i'll try what you suggested....right after i take a couple of asprin....lol... |

Silver Member Username: RazzorwyrePost Number: 116 Registered: Dec-07 | Ok well i have a question for FTA or Nalin. I have a second dish coming soon and will point to Bev. With will be identical as my first and dsih500 with legacy twins. I know they have internal switches. The question is running both dishes how do I get both twin lnbs into one receiver without using another switch? |

Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2437 Registered: Sep-06 | their is a switch INSIDE the lnb so if you use add another switch it will get confused!! that lnb ic NOT one port for 110 and one for 119 the two ports are for TWO RECEIVERS. just go one coax out of lnb to receiver do the antenna settings like i posted above and enjoy your tv |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2438 Registered: Sep-06 | its easy as pie to add the other lnb...... you use the DP34 switch it is desined just for that! when you get the new antenna let me know i have a drawing of how to connect it. |

Bronze Member Username: BabulalPost Number: 49 Registered: Jun-06 | Thanks for the info FTA Tester, but I am a bit confused...I have a similar problem, where I am using a switch for 110 and 119 and I can only get one signal, to watch 110 channels, I have to disconnect 119 on my switch, to get 119 channels, I have to disconnect 110 going into my switch. You mentioned above "just go one coax out of lnb to receiver" my question is if you have 1 cable coming in from 110 lnb and one cable coming in from 119 lnb, how can you hook up 2 cables to receiver directly? Don't you need a switch? Thanks for your help. |

Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2446 Registered: Sep-06 | cool its a dish500 have you tried my suggestion yet? if its not a a dish500 or dish pro lnb and you have the trouble you decribed you may have a bad switch first try what i decribed then connect the switch again to difreent porst like 3 and 4 for an example |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2447 Registered: Sep-06 | sorry i am typing one handed connect the switch using different ports on the switch like 3 and 4 is what i should have posted |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2448 Registered: Sep-06 | The more i look at that pic i think its twins so yes it should need a disqc switch......i bet your switch is bad but PLEASE TRY TO SET IT UP LIKE I DECRIBED FOR DISHPRO-DISH 500 FIRST so we know for sure might try connecting the receiver to one lnb NO SWITCH and scanning the sat, then changing to the other lnb and scan.....then connect the switch and test it....its how i have to work with my qph-031 sometimes when working on a tricky sat like 118 |

Gold Member Username: Donnie1973Post Number: 2384 Registered: May-06 | fta, there is no such thing as a dish 500 lnb. This is where u get confused. There are a few lnb's that go on a dish 500 setup. The dp lnb and a dp plus lnb. Both are dish 500. U HAVE to connect 110 to disecq 2 and 119 to disecq 1. Set this on the antenna setup on the reciever. It will work. U also have to make sure is is aligned properly. Signal on both |

Gold Member Username: Donnie1973Post Number: 2385 Registered: May-06 | didnt see the pic... set up the ant settings first, then use the switch. 119 port 1... 110 port 2 |

Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2452 Registered: Sep-06 | dantetn their is a dish500 lnb. It is marked dish 500. I have one righ here on my house. It is the most common lnb in the usa. if you connect a switch to it it will never ever work I have helped several pepole here with that problem. |
|
Gold Member Username: Donnie1973Post Number: 2387 Registered: May-06 | It does have dish 500 on it... there are TWO the dp lnb, AND the dp plus lnb. They BOTH have dish 500 on them. |
|
Gold Member Username: Donnie1973Post Number: 2388 Registered: May-06 | That just means they are for the dish 500 system. |
|
Gold Member Username: Ke5aqnIF I DONT KNOW THE ANSWER, I WILL FIND... Post Number: 2453 Registered: Sep-06 | thats fine lets not argue here about it here.. We now know what his lnb is based on that pic. I think he has a bad switch or the receiver is messing up the switching process..we will see |
|
Gold Member Username: Donnie1973Post Number: 2390 Registered: May-06 | i am only saying this because u always imply that dish 500 is dish 500. It is not. If u understand the difference u will be able to help people better. The dpp lnb, doesnt work well with some recievers. Some have to leave a sub reciever ON to power it. The dpp lnb is the one they use when u have the dual reciever in one. It also has an input |
|
Gold Member Username: Donnie1973Post Number: 2391 Registered: May-06 | or its not alligned properly. U have to use disecq 1 for 119 and 2 for 110. In the ant settings AND the switch itself. It will work. |

If u will look at the links u just posted, u will see what i am talking about is true. Just cause it says dish 500, doesnt mean it is one setup... can be many. Different ways to set it up. Wasnt tring to ARGUE at all. I just see where u seem to have a hard time helping when this is the issue. That is why... |
