to put it on SW21 say with any Circular LNB satellite (example 110, 119, 148 or 61.5 ... go to the install menu.. and run "check switch test" .. with SuperDISH option more likely...

and then let it redownload the channels and see...

You need a 2x4 or 2x2 switch, for the early 1st generation P models.
The built in switchs are rare.
