I have
installation for 2 dishes with 2 fortec star liftime ultra receivers. One dish is installed on the second roof of the building pointed to G10R with dual lnb. 2 cables going down about 25 feet where the other dish is installed pointed to t5 with dual lnb. 2 diseqC switches are used closed to T5 dish. Each is connected with one port of the lnb of each dish and a line going to each receiver (about 50 Ft long). The problem I have is that if I put both receiver on the same satellite, one only would get signal and the other would say (scrambled or bad channel) then (no signal) if I switch one of them to the other satellite, both would work. both receivers do not work on the same satellite at the same time. I changed switches, connectors, receivers, cables but still have same problem. Receiver is 2005 model with Feb 2005 SW. I was told that the dishes are too far away from each other, that caused the switches not to switch correctly. Is that right?
