I have tried different ways with a Chieta disque switch which does not work at 100%, and now wondering going to a Zinwell switch connected to DSS Dual LNB...LNB Type Single...LNB Frequency 11.250.

How is the setup please using that switch from this LNB with 91 and 110 to Dreamlink T5?

I have been using disque switch for so long I need a reminder how to do this.

Thanks in advance.

That would depend on which Zinwell switch you got, 3x4 4x4 etc.

And I think the DSS dual LNB is for one satellite only, you will need two LNB's for 91 and 110.

Some are a single satellite dual output LNB, not a dual satellite dual output LNB like the DP twin.

Yes sorry for the misunderstanding there are two dss dual LNBS involved Sats 91 and 110.

I was just trying to describe the LNB one of two.

OK got it, if they are on the same dish, and the dish is a dual satellite elliptical dish (Dish 500) then you need to setup the Diseqc switch settings correctly.

Remember that the signals will criss-cross each other off the dish, so the LNB for 110 will be on the left and the LNB for 91 will be on the right. (looking from the back of the dish)

Zinwell 3x4 & 4x4 switches are usually used for multi-receiver systems, a regular diseqc switch should work fine for your setup, tell us exactly how your system is screwing up and maybe we can figure out whats wrong? As for what Terry said about the signals criss-crossing off the dish, see pic below.......

These work well with your setup: hxxps://www.ebay.com/itm/HEAVY-DUTY-CHIETA-DISEqC-MULTI-SWITCH-4X1-SATELLITE-FTA-LNB-FREE-TO-AIR-WSD-2041/323951984159?epid=1643808681&hash=item4b6d0afe1f:g:uD0AAOSwLwtdqhnV

Or o.e. sw21s.Very stable/reliable with legacy lnbs
