No Signal Port 2 of DishPro Twin

Here's my setup. I have 2 508 PVR's, Dishpro twin antenna, RG6 Quad Shield cable from each port directly to each receiver. I'm getting (all channels) the 119 + 110 on Port 1 but nothing but a bunch of XXXX"s after running checkswitch on Port 2. Receiver from Port 2 works fine on port 1 so I have eliminated any problem with recv'r. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I can get signal on Port 2? Thanks in advance..

Your lnb might be bad. Change and run a check switch

NO Signal when hooking up 2nd Receiver on Port 2

I took the receiver outside along with my tv and had an RG6 from Port 1 hooked directly to Receiver. I am getting over 80% signal from 119 & 110. I then switched the RG6 to Port 2 to ensure it would work and it worked fine.
The problem is when I hook up the 2 nd receiver in the house I don't even get a signal when I point dish. (kind of useless to run check switch but I did anyways and all I'm getting are 4 XXXX's. Port 1 works fine ...I am running an RG6 directly from port 1 and port 2 to each individual receiver (508's, yes they both work) like it says in all the instructions. It has to be something simple but I certainly can't figure it out. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
It's like there is no power from the lnb...just my 2 cents...

Run a check on your LNB to see if is drifting, if it is, need's to be replace. Also check the level on the mass where the dish is attach to see if is level, the level has to be front and side, if is not level that will give you problems too.
