Correct 3X4 Multisw settings.

[amartin4]

I have 2 dual LNB circular pointed to 110 and 119, a few days ago i connected both birds to two 3X4multisw in order to get 4 stb's connected to four different places into home, the problem that i have rigth now is that i only can get just one bird the 119 bird, therefore the 110 is totally off. Also i'm using two 4X1 diseqc 2.0 multisw between the 3X4 multisw's and my ends. the LNB settings that i'm using per sat are the foollowing:

Satellite ; 110
Diseqc ;3
TP Frec ; 12224
LNB; 11250
22Khz-Tone; OFF
Multi-Dish SW; OFF
Search Options; All Channels
LNB Power; ON

Satellite ; 119
Diseqc ;2
TP Frec ; 12239
LNB; 11250
22Khz-Tone; OFF
Multi-Dish SW; OFF
Search Options; All Channels
LNB Power; ON

Additional : testing CNX Sat NanoII
If someone can help me with a correct direction in order to get the another bird(110) i will appreciate alot

Are the LNB's Dish dual LNB's? (Big DP on the front of them)

If so then you should use a DP44 switch. (4 in 4 out)

Also what brand of recivers are you using? (some wont work with the DP44 power inserter)

And are the LNB's on 1 dish or 2?

Try dishpointer.com for directions to the satellites.

I'm using a Dual circular LNB (Standar Frec: 11250), the stb that i have is a CNX NanoII and both LNB are separate each one on its proper antenna dish

[torpainter]

so you have two cables running from both lnbs?(4 cables)
119 and 110 has its own 3x4 switch?
you say you have two diseqs , 4 rcvrs?

[amartin4]

yes i'm running two cables for each one LNB, each one 3X4 multisw handle its own bird, two diseqs for two stb's for two different places at home.
torpainter: do you think that the probelm that i have is on antenna settings based on previous thread or its a malfution of 3X4 multisw (110 bird) that does not work properly..??

i have 4 recievers and dual lnbs ,i run 2 cables off each lnb to its own 3x4 dedicated to that 1 sat then diseqc for each reciever -i have 4 sats so i have 4 -3x4 switches and 4 diseqc switches.

I used to have the same set-up Your setttings look fine. You can do some trouble shooting to isolate the problem. Run directly to 3x4,Swap 3x4s see if issue follows the switch When I had any issues with this set-up it was always the diseqs that went Make sure both receivers are powered off in back when connecting or disconnecting any cables
Also when you say you are not getting 110 no signal at all?

[amartin4]

Snake: could you share your antenna settings how is.!! perhaps the probelm that i have is on software >!!

i already tasted the two diseqs in fact i'm using both diseqs to two different stb's, both stb's work fine, if the settings are the correct ones, i think that the problem is in the 3X4 sw that handle the 110 bird.

[torpainter]

As I said your setting are correct as long as you have assigned the correct port as per the diseq switch
That is easy to check All you do is change port numbers in settings and see if 110 comes in on another port
You did not answer my question on signal

Then do as I suggested and swap 3x4s See if problem follows the switch

no signal on 110 Quality and Signal totally zero...

no signal on 110 Quality and Signal totally zero...

Totally off 110 bird connecting 3X4 sw, but connecting bird 110 directly to diseqs works great on both receivers i can get both sats perfectly.

With this set up you would need another 3x4 switch and reverse the order...the 3x4 switch first followed by the diseqc (last)
Easiest fix would be a sw44 switch (remove the other switch all together) Cheap,clean and easy...plus no ground loop issues either.
