Re: whats the best switch for this ?
the 91 dish is also a dual lnb.the problems are that when you go to a certain channel it wont work unless you go to a channel that works that is higher or lower and click back to the channel you are tring to watch then it works,i was just wondering if theres a better way.i had asked someone before and they said two diseqs confuse the boxes so i should change one to a sw switch.i would like to use a 4x2 diseq or 4x4 but cant find any i was told there out there but i cant find them

Re: whats the best switch for this ?
if you have 2 dp dual lnbs on 1 dish ,,and 1 dp dual lnb on the other dish ,,you could use a dp34 switch,, you would only need 1 switch,,, but all 3 lnbs need to be dishpro lnbs,,,, running 2 4x1 diseqc switches does work,, one common problem is the dishes and lnbs need a good ground hooked to them,, i had trouble using 2 diseqc switches with 2 dishes and 3 lnbs ,, once i bought a dual ground block and ran in a good ground wire,,the 2 diseqc switches worked great,, all my channel issues went away,,
