Really frusterated and could use some help with twin dish setup

I have 2-2.4 meter dishes and 2 Terk Dual lnb's
One dish is aimed at 110 and one at 119
2 RG6 runs each sat to a Zilwell 4 x 4
4 separate lines to each of 4 rooms
The problem is my DN boxes are showing errors with configuration, while SV 360 Premier box works fine.
I have tried Pansat 2700's for fta but they are not working while the SV works flawlessly.
With the N3 issue I have re upped my account legally with DN but using the fta gear (dishes) listed above I cannot get system to work.
Do I need a different switch for my dual sat dish set up other than the Zinwell... maybe a Sw 34 or 44 from DN
Thanks for any help

Connect the two dishes to a SW21 switch and then directly to one receiver and test. If it works test the same way with th other three receivers. If all is good then get a SW44 switch and connect to the 4 receivers.

Re: Really frusterated and could use some help with twin dish setup

Thanks for the thoughts BUT I am not near a retailer to get a 21 or a 44 so what I have is the 4 x 4 Zinwell. Is this going to work? I am thinking not as it will only let me get signal from 1 sat at a time. I will order up the 21 and 44 and let you know. Thanks again

Descq switches won't work with DN receivers.

Re: Really frusterated and could use some help with twin dish setup

Since you are using the Subbed receivers the SW44 will be the ideal switch since the subs will recognize that switch.
Make sure that you unplug all receivers when connecting up the switch and you will need to get into the setup menu of your subs and do a check switch for the sub receivers to recognize the switch.

For the subs, click on menu> 6 > 1 > 1 and it will take you to the Satellite page and then click on Check Switch on that page and it will do the needful and set up the switch.
