Forted Platinum, DiSeqC and big dish problem

Hello all. I currently have a Ku FTA dish (motorized) run through port 3 on my DiSeqC. I run the C band LNB through port 1 and the Ku LNB through port 2. Have no problems with ports 1 or 3 BUT I am catching C band TP with designation as Ku (5 digit) when attempting a power scan utilizing port 2.

I had this same problem when using a different DiSeqC switch once I got to 3 ports in use. It totally ignored port 3. The switch is from Sadoun just for the record. With that switch ports 1 and 2 were off the big dish and hooked up and in use first. Then tried to add the small FTA dish with 0 as signal.

With this switch I hooked up port 3 first then 1 and finally 2. I am now having problems with signal from 2. When I do have signal it scans and gives me 5 digit TP's but when scanned are actually C band tp's as listed by Lyngsat.

Just for the record I can put my BEC box in place of the Fortec and tie the Ku from the big dish direct and have great signal. When I tried to tie the Ku direct on the Fortec same signal problems. Is this something with Fortec? Will it only accept 1 Ku linear LNB?

TIA

Steve
