lnb connection dilemna - ABA DSS

**coorslightly** · July 23rd, 2006

i have a question regarding bev & echo for 2 pansats.

pansat 1 connected to receiver in , bev in lnb1, echo in lnb2 no problem

pansat 2 connected to receiver in ,bev not plugged in to lnb1 . dishnet plugged in lnb2
(both receivers have each a separate DiSEqC switch)
what happens is when i plug in bev on the second switch in Lnb1. the dishnet goes out on the other receiver for the other tv. whats causing this ?
as long as I leave the other bev wire not plugged it no problem.

Since your diagram is waiting for admin approval, it is hard to figure this our. I drew your connection diagram for myself as what you describe happening is just plain puzzling.

Can you do this and post results? Disconnect Bev from lnb1 of switch to receiver 1 and then connect bev to lnb1 of switch to receiver 2. See if the same thing happens. I suspect your bev lnb might be bad.

i did that already. i think the dual bev lnb cant handle both plugged in. as long as i leave one unplugged its okay for both tv's.
so one tv i have echo and bev and the other has just echo. if i want to watch bev on the other one i just have to unplug the other and plug the other one back in. then no prob.
i dont know whats taking so long to show the diagram.

Just change the bev lnb and see if it makes a difference. Nothing wrong with the connection in your diagram.
