when looping two recievers together with all setting the same why would the second one show the wrong sat on the channel. like echo 7 for cmt channel when it reaily 8.1 but the channel works . tha reason im asking is the second reciever is not getting many channels ,

When you use the loop, you must use the same satellite and Horizontal or Vertical signal on both.

So you can't get 2 different satellites and you can't get a Horizontal and Vertical signal on both in same time because Vertical use low voltage and Horizontal signal use High voltage.

Explain 8.1, Echo 7 is 119 but 8.1 ???

Is it 110W?

If you have 2 LNB on a dish, you get 2 satellites.

In order for the second stb to get all channels, the first stb has to be in the off(displaying time)position.

The sat/channel problem may be wrong diseqc port settings on second receiver.

Rockman,Buy 2 dual LNB'S and 2 switches and it will work just fine and you can watch different programming on each receiver at the same time.
