View Full Version : Switch Problem for 82/91/110

I've got three birds (82, 91,110) and I have hooked them up to DiSeEqC 2.0 switch (4x1) and the output to my Limesat Ultra (also tried my Limesat HD Air) receiver. The 82 and the 110 come in fine after setting up the sat settings, but as soon as I add 91 to the 4x1 switch 91 overrides the other two (82, 110) and all sat settings show a lock on 91 instead. I've switched around the order of sat cables on the 4x1 switch with no difference. Tried 5 different switches.
Suggestions?
I was thinking of picking up a EMP 9x4 switch but did not want to put out the cash if the same problem persists.

What type of lnbs are you using for each satellite that you are pointing at ?

All are dual circular standard lnb= 11250 mhz. I use one lnb from each to the 4x1 switch.

Try diseqc #1 and then your ports!

So the problem persists regardless to which port 91 is connected to?

Correct, problem persists regardless of settings in receiver or connection to switch. I've tried all kinds of different settings and connections.

Who's LNB's?

Aftermarket or Dish/Bell?

The LNB on 91 is shorted and just replace it! A 3x4 switch if you have one will fix the problem!

Or to test that, move the 91 LNB to the 82 (or 110) position, if it only locks on 82 (or 110) then somethings funny with that LNB.

All 3 LNB's should be of the same type/make/brand, this will avoid switching and interaction problems, and proper grounding of the switch and system would also help.
