How to configure 119/110/61.5/82 to work together?

Hi everyone!
I was using Coolsat 8000 with the following configuration (everything worked):
119 110 61.5
LNB Type OCS-DP OCS-DP OCS-DP
Frequency 11250 11250 11250
22Khz OFF OFF OFF
DiSEqC Switch ON ON ON
Committed 1 2 3
Legacy Switch OFF OFF OFF

119/110 are on dual-LNB Dish-pro connected to 1 and 2 on the switch, 61.5 is on single-LNB Dish-pro connected to 3. As I said, I am getting all 3 perfectly.

Decided to add 82 for the BEV and installed an additional dual-LNB Dish-pro, but only connecting the right LNB (if you are looking from the back of the dish). It is connected to #4 on the original DiSEqC Switch.
Tried to configure the same way as the other 3:
LNB Type OCS-DP
Frequency 11250
22Khz OFF
DiSEqC Switch ON
Committed 4
Legacy Switch OFF

While scanning - no channels found on the 82. All others still work fine. Could it be a problem that I am not using a single LNB or the wrong side of the dual-LNB? Could it be a switch problem? Any other configuration ideas?
Thanks in advance!

hmmm.thats interesting.
you have the dp twin hooked up to 2 lines both into the diseqc ports 1 and 2 and in settings,yes thats right.and port 3 for the single lnb is correct also.
as you know because its working.

now,i take it you had another dish pro twin thats why your using it for the 4th lnb for 82.
it "should" take diseqc command of any port actually.
try the other port on the lnb but keep it into your last 4th port of the diseqc,as you dont have any other option there anyway.
now i know you can do this:

110/119 from your dp twin 2 lines out into port 1/2 like you have them now.
82/91 from the other dp twin with 2 lines out into port 3/4
this will give you all 4 main birds.
but then how to add 61.5 into the mix,im not real good with mutli switching.
so don't know right off what it would take.

but if you want what you have now,if the other port of the dp twin does not work,you could simply replace it with a legacy single lnb,and that of course would work.

but dang,the more i think about it,that should switch through as port 4 fine,but im not positive.

first thing,did you just bypass everything,and just hook up 82's lnb and scan it in? to make sure your aimed correctly and know for sure the lnb is working?

but no matter what there,your not making use of the twin correctly.
i would find out how to get all 4 main birds like i stated,but see what it takes to add 61.5 into it.
then would make use of all the lnbs you have.and hit 5 birds.
with 2 dp twins and 1 single legacy.
that would be the way to go.

This is a great answer - thanks!!!
As far as aiming I was told the signal is good and the device confirms the dish is locked on 82. I will probably have to change the 82 dish to a single LNB as I am getting more and more convinced that the use of only one of the LNBs on the twin while not using the second is the main problem here.
I am not interested in getting the 91. My only goal was to add 82 for the HD, while keeping the 61.5.
I used to have problems with 119/110 when I ran one cable only from the twin to the switch. I was advised to run 2 dedicated cables - it solved all the problems and the DiSEqC Switch worked fine for 3 birds so far.
I will post an update as soon as I get the single LNB for the 82 and try it.
Thanks!!
