Need help with diseqc switch, I have a multi dish system, one dish is on lnb1 second dish on lnb2 and everything working fine. Today I added a third dish lnb3, and the problem started. When I go to lnb3 it works fine but when I go back to lnb1 or lnb2 there is no signal. If I turn off the CS8k and turn it back on 1 & 2 work again. I tried a new diseqc switch no change. Any ideas??

Thanks,

Do you have another receiver with another DiSEqC on the same dishes?
Also please list your receiver setup!

are the lnb's all the same type and do your antenna settings match the switch settings example 119 in port one under disq in antenna settings and on the switch

I have 119 on 1, 110 on 2, 97 on 3, 4 is empty.
All the same lnb brand and model.

Everything worked fine until I added 97 on 3.

If I remove 97 form my satellite list, it works ok

Thanks

you need to edit your reference to the third sat you mentioned if you mean you had a problem since you hooked up your third sat i would say you need to re aim that dish

Boy it sucks getting old, that should be 97, all the channel come in, so I don't think its an aiming problem.

I just had the same problem a couple days ago, check the cable connections from that lnb to the switch, I've found that those crimp type connectors come loose sometimes and you'll get bad or no signal. I use the screw on type now and find there much better.
