22KHz switch and two DiSEqCs

[tangoextreme]

Here is my set up:

Eight LNBFs are connected to two DiSEqC 4ways and a 22KHz switch. The receiver is Pansat 330A which has support for both DiSEqC and 22KHz switch.

I was able to received 4 satellites with a 22KHz is OFF. However, no siganls for other 4 satellites with the 22KHz switch was ON.

I tested the two DiSEqC switches and the 22KHz switch(ON and OFF) individually. All the switches were fine and were able to picked up signals.
No RG6 cables problem.

Any suggestions to fix my set up? :roll:

What type of lnbfs are these? If you're using universal linear lnbfs the 22khz signal for the switch is probably messing up the switching on the lnbf. The unis' use a 22khz tone in switching between the upper and lower frequency bands. Universal lnbfs and 22khz switches are a no-go.

Also I've seen switches which sap some of the signal and when combined with other swiches may be completely robbing the signal.

Sounds like it could be a bad switch, especially if everything works with the switch eliminated. You might want to get a new switch before you tear things apart.
