Hello all, I tried to find answer but no luck. I have dish with 2LNB. (each one has two coax. so I think they are dual) I connected 2 receivers and every time when one of them is on different sat (ex. 110 or 119) the other receiver gets same sat even though it is set on it different which shows no signal. Is there way, using switches, to watch different satellites on different boxes?? If you know the answer or you can point link to previous tread, I would appreciate your time to answer.
Those 2 splitters are diseq 4 in 1. I even tried to connect for one tv port 1&2 and second tv 3&4. It does same thing. I'll try checking cables. Thank you for reply.
That's what I have hooked up. I tried to play with "LNB power ON" on one box and "off" on the other and aslo both boxes LNB power ON and no luck. I read something about DC block on one but I don't understand exactly what I would have to buy . I'm still trying to find solution but mostly I hope I will find it here.
I forgot to mention that I have splitters(diplexer) for that I can have cable and sat through one cable (they are installed between diseq and box). I don't know if that would make difference.
A 4 to 1 DisEqC switch can take up to 4 LNB inputs for one output. For your specific needs you will need two DisEqC switches ($6-10 each). As Plymouth said, the convention is to use Input port one for 119W and Port 2 for 110w. Make sure the switches are weatherproof.
I have two switches 4 to 1 that came with receivers. I connected them like on that picture I attached previously. If I turn off 'LNB POWER' on second receiver(box) it shows satellite that is on first box. When I turn 'LNB POWER' ON on both channels on one of the boxes will not show. It does same thing one is receiving LNB from other box. I did all I could think that can be done still no luck. Probably buying another satellite dish is the only way.
It is easy to destroy DisEqC switches if you try and connect then with receiver poser on. The behaviour you have notices is suggestive of at least one of the two being deffective. To have Two TVs working you need two receivers and two switches.
As Nalin said in her post it sounds like one or both of you switches are damaged.Try using a different port. remember that you have to use the same port for each LNB. So if you are using port 1 for 119 try port 3 on each switch. If you are using port 2 for 110 try port 4 on each switch. Never change cable connections with the receiver power on.
1Try it without your diplexer and hook it as Nalin and I have said .

I'm back and now good news. I got new splitters connected like you suggested and same thing. when on one box i have channel on sat 119, second box has all channels on 119 sat even it is on channel that without first box is on 110. I'll try remove diplexers over the weekend, see if any difference. Or maybe I'm missing some settings on boxes?
By your last post, it sounds like your blind scans need to be done again.
When scanning, make sure you on connect one sat at a time so there is no mistake. Connect 119 and scan it, then disconnect. Then connect 110 and scan and disconnect. Make sure when scanning that the pattern of transponders differs. Once both have been scanned then connect both 119 and 110.
Make sure to turn off receiver when messing with the cables.
Puff Diver did you copy and save all those old files I sent you they are about to get pulled!! read this
Uncle Ruport has been a schewd Sat Pirate. His many names were 2old 4this,dexter,squeem well he told me he had 8 guys keeping his 450 pirate sites updated with new files! Nagravision was never hacked it was simply furnished by him to his sat sites to make his goal of owning the satellite empire!
He did so with finess ,after purchasing AT&T he put his oldest son in biz with AT&Tamp and back off to Australia he went! His yougest son Sir James was pulled out of law school at Harvard to be in command of NDS while Uncle Ruport bought DTV. After Uncle Ruport dominated the Satellite biz he started to dabble in the internet of which he owns or has control of everything that goes on his world wide webb including microsoft !!
His sat shops have came a long way from selling timed released files and cards to having a controling interest in FTA/DVB compatible STBs. His interest in Thompson Electronics and their ability to provide hardware to suit his fancy was merely the tip of the iceburg.He phased the DTV hack out of biz and blamed it on a change in their encryption..This was not reality just technobabble.
Nagravision has never changed to NAG 2 nor NAG3 because the encrytion was never a danger to satellite PTV. After buying and selling DTV to John Malone there was a binding agreement not to release DTV/DSS files or else he would have to pay dearly.His plea agreement with Canal Plus has given John Malone the upper hand. The Pirates dont know what went on they just swallowed the new encryption farse!
Now Uncle Ruport is full speed ahead now with pushing IKS /DVB boxes .However he has to phase out his so called NAG2..Which is nothing more than dissabling the ppv channels in his files and blaming it on the new NAG 3 farse.. He has gone as for as to delete the old files ,back when all the channels were included.. However there is a few that has realized what he was up to and has a stache of old files to fall back on!
