Dish Pro Plus help please

[djaerich]

I'm having some trouble with my DPPlus setup so I will explain how I have it wired first:

This LNB has 2 output ports and 1 Input port for a 3rd LNB. I am only using the 2 output ports though and I'm pointed at 110 and 119. I have 2 receivers (one Nfusion Phoenix and one Nfusion HD). Each receiver has a dedicated cable from one of the ports on the LNB. I did this because I was told this LNB has a switch built in and I don't need a switch for it to run 2 receivers.

The problem is that on one receiver I can only lock on to 119 and on the other receiver I can only lock on to 110. So It's not switching at all. I am assuming I just have the wrong settings on my boxes. Does anyone else have this setup and could you explain your settings please? Is it freaking out because both receivers have LNB power on?

Here are my settings:
110w
LNB Type: Twin DPLNBF
Lo Freq: 11250
DiSEqc 1.0: Port 2
DiSEqc 1.1: Disable
Multi-Dish Switch: Disable
Lock TP: [8/32] 12326 H 2000
Motor: off
LNB Power ON
Search Channels: CH All Search

119w
LNB Type: Twin DPLNBF
Lo Freq: 11250
DiSEqc 1.0: Port 1
DiSEqc 1.1: Disable
Multi-Dish Switch: Disable
Lock TP: [8/32] 12472 H 2000
Motor: off
LNB Power ON
Search Channels: CH All Search

Thanks all!

Did you try using the auto set up. It will set your LNB type and switches for you. I did the auto setup. It has S 11250 as LNB type. Mine works great...

For the most part sounds like you have everything set up right. Have you by chance tried moving the boxes around? Putting the 119 only box where the 110 box is at?
Could be the lnb, that is possible. If you switch them and they still only get 119 where the other box got 119 etc at then I would say try finding another dpp twin.

In my NF HD box in the Installation Antenna settings these are what I have:

Satellite................................119.0W Echostar 7
LNB.......................................S 11250
DiSEqC mode......................DiSEqC 1.0(DP21,34)
DiSEqC Option......................Port 1
Legacy Sw............................Disable
Network Search......................No
Search Option........................All
TP List.............................17. 12457V20000

Now if you highlight LNB and press OK on the remote you will see the following:

LNB Type..............................DPLNBF
L.O.Freq.low...........................5150
L.O.Freq.................................11250
22KHz......................................OFF
LNB Power.................................ON

Similar to all of the above for 110.0W Echostar 8,10
DiSEqC Option....................Port 2
TP List.............................22. 12516V20000

Now I would check by changing the TP List for 119 to 2. 12239H20000
and TP List for 110 to 1. 12224V20000

When you check these settings you should have very good signal reading for both sats. If not then there may be a bad DPP LNB.

However, I cannot understnd how you have LNB Type.......twin DPLNBF unless you have chosen Legacy Twin LNB which is wrong.
