QPH-031 Quad LNB and SG2100 with Fortec Ultra

Hello

Hello
I purchased a QPH-031 Quad LNB about a week ago. The LNB is a great product. I am having a problem though using the LNB with a DMS International DiSEqC 4*1 Switch, I have tried two of them incase one was faulty. If directly wired to the LNB whether it be Circular or Linear it works fine with my Fortec Lifetime Ultra. As soon as I place the DiSEqC switch in line my receiver turns on and off. There is one more factor in the situation and it is a DiSEqC 1.2 motorized H-H motor model SG2100. I am mainly using both linear outputs for two separate receivers. I have changed from a Samsung universal LNBs since I had one dish on IA-5 and the other was motorized. I had the switch in line with both dishes. The Fortec receiver worked fine with this set up. What I my thinking is, that QPH-031 requires more current and with the SG2100, my Fortec can not power both the new LNB and the motor in the DiSEqC mode. If this is so, what can I do to remedy this problem? I do not want to go back to the two dish situation.
If I have to modify the receiver, I am capable of doing so. Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Gary
