Hi, I’m trying find a proper switching technique for my Sonicview 8000. Originally I had it hooked up to 119/118 with a great signal. I then added 129 on a different dish, and they connect on an Axing 4x1 diseqc switch (129 port A, 119/118 port B). They are on generic LNB’s (Not Bev/Dish).
I noticed that when 129 or 119 were hooked directly to the box, it was a great signal. But when both lines were on the box, the signal dropped. I suspect the box doesn’t have the juice to power both lnbs. The result is a lower signal and occasional dropped signals (sunset, late evenings).
I now want to add 91, while also adding power to the FTA connection. My bev sub has two lines from 91 and 82 into a DP34, which sends to the sub receivers. They are standard dish/bev lnbs. No issues.
I now have an extra DP34 switch, as well as a SW44 switch with a power inserter. I want to port out from my sub DP34 switch. Which switch is the best way to go? I believe I need a power inserter, but I’m cautious about adding it without expertise help. Thanks in advance.
