How Do I Get BEV & DN on one receiver? - ABA DSS

**SEARAY98** · January 6th, 2008

Have 2 Ultras (2000) w/Dish 500 w/dual dish pro heads, one aimed at 119/110 and one aimed at 91/82. Trying to use SW41 to get all sats. Read and did all I could find on the subject, still can't get both bev & dn to come in using the SW41 switch. DN is working but Bev wont work unless hooked directly to Ultra. I know it can be done but how ??

Your dish is too small to pull in all of the Sat's you mentioned without a Motor, or constant dish turning.

To get 82W, 91W, 110 and 119 you need:

1 - 18" x 24" Eliptical Dish
4 - Dual LNB's
1 - 5 port LNB Mount/Yoke
1 - Disc Switch (not a DP 34) but a regular 4 in /1 Out type

Some Sat Cable and some connectors.

Arrange and mount the LNB's on the pre-engineered 5 point Yoke, so that the 101W LNB area is not populated (i.e., is empty) then mount the 4 LNB's, in their respective places. You'll be able to scan 91W, 82W, 110W and 119W without having to move the dish at all (no motor).

Once you lock onto 91W the others are automatically 99% there.

Hope that helps.

i think your problem is pro lnb,s that why you can not get both dishes on same rex please go to lnb section and read about diff b/w dish pro lnb and legacy lnb and that will clear your mind best of my knowldge you have to change your dish pro lnb to fta style.dish pro have a built in sw21 switch so it doest not need any other switch for change over also also when you connect through you will keep finding 2 sat on all for ports

seara 4x1 switch is all you need it probably came with your box. creatives setup is pretty good im probably gonna run this myself in order to eliminate 1 of my dp dishes

1# 119
2# 110
3# 91
4# 82

If I take a picture of my current switch the is mount outside by Bev and post it would the more experienced tell me if I need a second switch for DN ?

Where do I get this dish setup? I have one dish aimed at dn sats and the other aimed at bev sats, both with dish dual pro heads, with a Viewsat 4-in-1 diseqc switch on each dish. Is the built in sw21 switches in the pro heads conflicting with the 4-in-1 switch?

yes exactly in side each lnb

**shery20** · January 6th, 2008

please post on this post if you find a solution for this problem other than changing lnb

**jayjay1972** · January 6th, 2008

seara no the 4x1 switches dont conflict with the dpro lnbs im currently running a dp34 switch but i have run several setups using 4x1 switches with no problems

Anyone had experience with the Daucer mounting bracket? I am running one now on a dish 500 and getting BEV and DN. This seems to be the most simple way that i have come across as you only need 1 dish and 1 4 port switch.

So how do you do that? I'm in the same boat man. Right now I'm getting DN with a dish 500 and I just got me a second dish 500 antenna with the idea of aiming at 82 and 91. So after installing the dish how do you interconnect them to receive both service on a Coolsat receiver for instance.

jayjay1972 please explain that briefly.i did not get it all with dish pro lnb and 2 dishes and 4x1 switches you can not get all 119,110,82,91 at the same time,let say one cable carry 2 birds when you connect on port one you will get same on port 3 same way when you connect on port 3 you will get same thing on port 4 so you can get 2 sat at time 119 and 91 or 110 and 82 depending on which cable you connect first
