Hard time with new set up
I am running Nfusion Phoenix
one dish 500 dish with DP twin (internal switch)
one Dish 500 with DP single LNB
1 DP34 switch
2 receivers so far going for 4 hopefully
less than 150 ft of cable to each receiver
new cables run all rg 6
Dishpro twin, one cable to port 1, one to port 2
Dishpro single to port three
settings
110 echostar
LNB : Twin DPLNFB
LO freq 11250
22 khz off
Diseqc 1.0 port 2
dis 1.1 disable
Multi dish switch:disable
Lock tp:12224
LNB power on
119
LNB: Twin DPlnfb
Lo Freq 11250
22 khz: off
Disesqc :1.0> Port 1
lock tp 12239
lnb power on
91
dp sinlge
Lo freq 11250
22 khz off
diesqc 1.0 port 3
lnb power on
This was running fine initially then I would be in the middle of watching and the signal would be lost to all three satellites on two receivers, tried rebooting by back switches, this worked at times and not others then after quite a few hours it would work again all signals would be back all signals between 74 and 78 and quality 83-88.
All lnbs work when connected separately to each receiver and the internal switch in the DP twin works fine when not connected through the dp34 switch. Is this a bad DP 34 switch do you think? It was brand new and does work from time to time. Any other suggestions to try?

Re: Hard time with new set up
Looks like the dp34 is not working well.
You said the LNB's works without the switch.
Looks like you have it burned.

Re: Hard time with new set up
That's what I'm thinking but it does work off and on, I guess it was just a bum switch from the beginning maybe.

Re: Hard time with new set up
get another and ask for the receipt.
try the new and if it works okay, if not get back to the store and ask for your money back.

Re: Hard time with new set up
Most times one receiver now as the second was a now extinct NOVA, there was two going at a time sometimes. I did try disconnecting one that worked sometimes but even with just one receiver connected it went out again.

Re: Hard time with new set up
it cant be a power issue.
dp34 can work up 4 receivers.
