4 sats with 2 receiver possible?

[ColdFlare]

Hey everyone,

I'm trying to get 4 sats for 2 Pansat 2500a receivers. I'm trying to get 82, 110, 119, 121. I have 2 dishes setup on my roof and they all have good signal. I have a dave para todos dish with built in switch is only able to pick up 1 sat. I used that dish to hit nimiq2. I also have a superdish that is hitting 110, 119, 121. The superdish lnbs are all ouputted to the dp34 that came with it. Then both connections from dp34 and the dave para todos dish are connected to a 4x1 diseqc switch. This is done twice for 2 pansat receivers.

I'm having trouble in pansat detecting the superdish. It is however detecting Nimiq 2 receiver fine with setting set on diseqc #2.

Is it possible to have 2 pansat 2500as receiver signal from 4 sats, using a superdish w/ dp34 and a dave dish for nimiq 2?

Thanks for any help you guys can offer.

dp21 dont work on diseqc switches thats why you are having trouble. best way to do is get a diseqc 4 port switch and put 91,82,110, 119 onto that swtich or121 whatever then it would work

get rid of the multiswitch,as well.

Would it work if I added a 22khz tone switch before the dp34 and the diseqc switch?

So both the dp34 and diseqc switch goes into the inputs of the 22khz tone switch, woudl I have 7 working diseqc ports then? 3 on dp34 with 22khz off, and 4 on diseqc 22khz on?

Thanks any replies and help you guys can offer.

Problem is I'm trying to connect 2-4 recievers with all 4 sats.
Just using 1 4 port diseqc switch will eliminate my chances of getting 2-4 receivers to work right? If i'm wrong please correct me.

Just wondering the total of FTA channels you get from BellVu and DishNetwork? As I know, 99% of them are encrypted.

Hey guys, somebody told me to try it this way. I drew a picture of how my setup looks like now.



It still doesnt work. Only nimiq2 works and thats on diseqc port 4

Anyother way to do it? Anyone hve diagrams on how to hook this all up properly?

[swampthang7]

yea...dump the dp34 in the garbage,and hook straight to the disecq. 8)

...then put dual LNB's in and set up your 2nd receiver. 8)
