I am installing a dsh 500 twin lnb It has two connections lnb1 and lnb2 which one do I hook the cable up to I want to recieve echo7 and echo8-10.I have a vewsat plat and do i need anything else or just point it right. Thanks Chip
if you have 2 cables hook up to diseqc switch taht came with receiver 119 to port 1 and 110 to port 2.then on your receiver do antenna settings lnb type should be ocs dp and asign port 1 to 119 and port 2 to 110 lnb fre 11250 tp freq 12244 khz 22 off legacy off then sacn each sat
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.
could someone please give me step by step wiring instructions on an install of a dish500 dp to a vewsat plat,i want to recieve echo7 119 and echo8-10 110 the dish has two ports one is for 119 and the other for110 starting at the dish what are the steps please ????I thought I could just run one wire from the dish to reciever and the vewsat would do the rest is that not the case and do i really need a switch if so where does it goI want to get this right the first time thanks

Aryen 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
