you use both ports
the one on te left if you are standing behind the dish is 119
now hook up 119 on port 1 of switch and 110 on port 2 of switch
go to antenna settings and assign port 1 to 119 and port 2 to 110
adjust the other settings
lnb type >ocs dp
khz fre > off
lnb freq > 11250
tp freq > 12244
legacy > off
do this for each sat and you should get good quality and the satellite name will show up
scan each sat
enjoy

your platinum needs to be hooked up to lnb 1 & 2 through switch, not directly as u r guessing.
on switch you will have one output to receiver and will have 4 input where u connect ur lnb as African said.

Dr. Munna is right.
Taking into account your Dish/LNB combo, I would suggest you use a DP34 switch which is a three input four output switch.
Very often the DP LNBs and DP34 combo require more power than your receiver is able to give. Plan ahead, by having an old DN receiver available to power the system via port 1 output and use the other output(s) for connection to one,two,three TVs.
The DN receiver should be left on as a power supply to LNB and switch.

Hey dumazzes! One wire to 1 receiver 2 wires for 2 receivers. No switches! switch in lnb with DP ALWAYS use diseq1 for echo7 and diseq2 for echo8/10

Best place to get one a dish is off your nieghbors house just after they move. Otherwise swapmeet $15 to $25. Get a twin lnb so you can also get sat 110
