Re: Need help please with 2 dishes
Need help with two dishes. I changed my disqc switch but it's not scanning 61.5. If i scan them one by one they are ok but as soon as i use Disqc to join them it only scans 110 but skips 61.5. What am i doing wrong. I have tried every singal scan like blind, channel etc. can some one tell me how the setting should be. My one wire 110 going on switch that says sat1 or dish1 and second wire 61.5 going to sat2 or dish 2 and main wire going to receiver. Help me guys i have spent enough time with this and today is the second day. can some guide me step by step if you think i am doing something wrong pleassssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Re: Need help please with 2 dishes
If I'm reading this right you get a good scan when you don't use the switch. So scan without the switch then put the switch in the loop and make sure you have the right ports selected for each sat. If the channels show no sig after you do this then the switch is where the problem is. What make of switch is it? If it only has 2 ports it almost looks like it is just a cable splitter which won't work.
