hi i got dish 500 dp.and i got viewsat brand new disqec switch. i got the both signal 119 and 110 but when i use the disqec switch.its not work.its work on 148 but not 119 and 110 .but when i put it drict from intena its work good.i put 119 on port 1 110 on port 2 and 148 on port 3.some one tell me its disqec switch problem or what but remmebr disqec switch is new one navwer use it
The deal is the dish 500 has a Diseqc built in and is made for 2 receivers to use and get both 110 and 119. The the ports out on that lnb are for 2 recivers not 110 and 119.
So if you put a Diseqc switch inline with a dish500 everthing gets confused and it will act JUST LIKE YOUR IS. Your receiver can not control 2 Diseqc switches.
What you need is a DP34 it is the switch designed to add a LNB for another satellite to the dish 500 system.
The way you connect it is like this:
out from the receiver to the DP34, uot the DP34 to dish500 ONCE, out the DP34 to the 61.5 sat's LNB...............thats it
but fta tester when i put it drict to reciver its work very good but i need to put 148 too. as a dricet i put only one cable from antena to ricever and its work fine for me buti want 148 too. thx for reply
