2 dish help

**retireddave** · 11-18-2007 08:28 PM

Hello, newbie here, I have 2 dishes & 2 receivers, with 2 duel universal lnbs. one dish is pointed at 25 & one at 10R & both receivers are hooked up to both dishes but no matter how many times I blind scan each one I cannot get the same programing on both receivers, It seems that one always overrides the outher, what am I doing wrong? thanks

Please draw a diagram, with labels, of what you have and how it is setup and attach or embed this diagram into a message here.

It could be a grounding issue.

what type of switch are you using?

I was using 2diseqc 4x1 switches but now I am using 2 dish network sw21 switches and it did not make any difference, also I don`t think I have a ground, do I need one? thanks

check out this page it's for 4 lnb's and 2 receivers so you will have to take out 2 of the lnbs but should give you the ideal of what is needed.

Dishnetwork switches won't work for FTA. Grounding should not matter.
