Problem Locking onto Satellites with more than One Sub Box On!!!!!!!

Hello everyone, this is my first post on this forum, so please bear with me!!(very glad to be here).

I have ONE eliptical 24inch dish with THREE LNBs, running approx. 100ft from the dish.
I have FOUR Viewsat subs with the following setup:

Satellite_____91______110_______119
LNB Power___On_______On_______On
LNB Type __Standard__Standard_Standard
LNB Freq____11250____11250____11250
22 KHz______Off_______Off______Off
TP Freq_____12224____12224____12239
Diseqc 1.0___Port1_____Port2____Port3
Motor_______Off_______Off______Off
Legacy SW___None_____None____None

I also have a 3x4 Multiswitch, 1 viewsat disque switch & 1 Cheita heavy duty switch.

I can get/switch SATS on ALL 1000+ channels with only ONE sub box on ONLY. However, when I put ALL 4 of them on & we change channels, it will go into autoroll and/or stick to another satellite!!

I tested it today, & I can change channels with no problems IF that channel is on the SAME satellite that it is currently 'locked' into.

Example: sub1, sub2, sub3, sub4 - can be on different channels on SAT 119(ex. - channel 105 or 162), but if someone changes sub2 to a 91 SAT channel(like channel 2250), ALL of the other boxes tend to freeze/autoroll. If I change all of the subs to the 91 sub channel, no matter what channel, all subs will, within a few seconds lock into their respective 91 sub channel!!

I've been pulling my hair out for 3 months now. We have replaced the LNB's, upgraded the switches to Cheitas, reaimed the dish(getting between 75-93% quality), tried a signal booster(no significant change). But the problem persists.

Again, all of my Viewsat subs can get/switch between satellites with no
freezing/switching issues with ONE sub box on @ a time. If more than one sub is on(esp. if they are on different SAT channels) the problem occurs.


Do I need another type of 'switch' if I have 4 boxes going @ a time?
Do I need another dish just for 91?

H-E-L-P!!!

One really must wonder about the mentality of these hackers. The guy keeps calling his Viewsat receivers "subs" -- I always thought "sub" was short for "subscription"...
