First post looking for some direction.

I have A Dtv 3 LND Dish with signal locked on 119 and 110 if I Use an AB switch, which I always have.

I have now tried to put a DisEq 2.0 switch in the line so I can not have to use the AB switch.

As soon as I put it in the line I lose signal.

Fortec Classic NA, could someone help straighten this out, or point me in the right direction, I have searched but dont seem to find any Definitive answer.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Lots of posts talking about that dish....it has a built-in switch that doesn't work for FTA , this is the first time that I have even read of anyone getting 2 birds on that dish, never thought of an "A,B Switch",disqec switch won't work with that one, I know that ....You "could" use one, but you'll only get one bird,if the AB switch is working with 2 birds, then I would say you are ahead of the game with that dish, better off just getting a DishPro....hope this helps

Thanks for your response, I am currently looking into getting a 500 and switching it out. As I type my NA is down anyway so goes the game.

Thinking about getting a motorizied dish single LNB any suggestions would be appreciated.

May be time to change out this NA to something else also.

Thanks again
