Yo must have dual LNBs
The concept is the same
Yor antenna settings must match port connection

The connection I got above is so simple will work on any 2 satellites to any 2 receivers
Yo can even get up to 3 satellites to 2 receivers
110/119/61.5
110/119 must be twin LNB to port#1
61.5 to port#2 or 3
No need to DP34
Only 2 DISEqC switches which usually comes with most FTA receivers or $5 each from e-bay

DP34 is a 3x4
3 satellites to 4 receivers
DP34 is much less wirings
But it requires 1000mA which most FTA don't have

So the only way to use DP34
Is yo must have 18V/1000mA external power source
By using an old DN receiver
Or by making a 1000 DC adapter to coax connector to DP34

I think if yo only got 2 receivers
2 DISEqC is much less electronics headache
Very straight forward

Rule #102 for DISEqC switches

This is the best way to make sure yo get 2 working satellites on two receivers:
By connecting One Satellite at a time
Use F/F Coupler instead of switch
Everytime yo change coax turn off receiver
Then yo turn receiver back on as yo connect coax cable

Receiver#1
Using a coupler and only coupler No DISEqC Switch yet
- Connect first Sat (61.5) or whatever
- Check for Quality Scan for channels etc.
- Move Coupler to Sat#2
- Step and repeat second Sat (110) or whatever
- Check for Quality Scan for channels etc. Sat#2

Receiver#2
Using a coupler and only coupler No DISEqC Switch yet
- Connect first Sat (61.5) or whatever
- Check for Quality Scan for channels etc.
- Step and repeat second Sat (110) or whatever
- Check for Quality Scan for channels etc. Sat#2


Once yo have 2 Sats with all channels yo want on both working receiver it's time to use the 2 DISEqC switch

No need to connect DISEqC switch if yo can't get the channels
Only if yo do get all channels yo can go on to connect DISEqC switch

DISEqC switch is a 4-input to one output electro-mechanical device
In order to make it work yo have to program it in yor antenna setup
i.e. assign each coax to respctive input

Yor setup should be something like this

Receiver-1
Satellite#1 (61.5) or whatever
LNB Type: ---- (put yor LNB type)
LNB freq: ---- (put yor LNB freq)
DISEqC: Port-1

Receiver-1
Satellite#2 (110) or whatever
LNB Type: ---- (put yor LNB type)
LNB freq: ---- (put yor LNB freq)
DISEqC: Port-2

Receiver-2
Satellite#1 (61.5) or whatever
LNB Type: ---- (put yor LNB type)
LNB freq: ---- (put yor LNB freq)
DISEqC: Port-1

Receiver-2
Satellite#2 (110) or whatever
LNB Type: ---- (put yor LNB type)
LNB freq: ---- (put yor LNB freq)
DISEqC: Port-2


In case of using a twin LNB like 110/119
It's better to place to Port-1 but not essential
Port#1 is the default


If one of the ports got no signal like in yor case
Most likely it is not assigned to that port correctly
