New and confused - ABA DSS

jk76 · June 4th, 2009

Hi new here.
I have a veiwsat ultra lite connected to a dish 500 with dishpro twin lnb. The lnb's have only one coax jack. When installing do I connect both lnbs to a diseqc switch witch came with the reciever or do I only hook the coax cable up to only one lnb from the reciever.
thanks fir any info.

First off welcome to ABAdss... Each coax jack is for 119 and 110. If you are facing the coax in the LNB, 119 is in the left side and 110 is in the right side...

Here's the Antenna setting:

For 110W

LNB power : ON
LNB type : ocs-dp
LNB Freq. 11250
22mhz : OFF
TP freq: 12224
Diseqc : Port 2
None
none

For 119W
Only the Diseqc: is in Port 1.

try this:

how to effectively set up and align your dish

1. make sure the pole is plumb and mount the dish onto it.
2. turn your receiver off with the switch on back.
3. if you need a diseqc switch run the cable ( rg6 if possible ) to the proper outlet on it.
4. run one short length of cable from each dish you plan to use to the proper port on the
switch(be sure you have the ports set right in your antenna setup).
5. once your connections are tight turn on the receiver again.
6. select the sat you want to get and go to antenna settings.
7. making sure the sat you want to get is in the top right corner start moving the dish
slowly in the general direction of the signal until you see the quality bar move.
8. if all your lnb's are on one dish you should be tuning the middle one first. to get the others
select the next sat in antenna settings and skew the dish until that one comes in.
9. repeat step 8 until you have signal on all sats.
10. to watch one dish at a time select it in the menu, to watch all the channels select all sats.

So I do want to connect each lnb to the diseqc switch and then the reciever cable into the diseqc also.

Poster stated that he has a Dishpro LNB. I think the Dishpro normally has a built in switch and he wont need to user a external switch.

Forgot the mention that he will also have to select the Dishpro setting in the setup screen on the STB. Dishpro Twin should have two ports that have both 110 and 119 and will support two stbs.

Having some problems aiming the dish.
Have the coax cable pluged into the 119 side of the lnb.
(echo7)Signal 90 quality 98-100
(echo 10)signal 80 quality 0-45 bounces back and forth.
Am I just not dialed in yet.
Thanks for the help.

Hello & Welcome to Aba!!!!! You should be able to dial it in just by skewing the dish.
