dish kinda sees my 119...

[philhu]

61.5 show fine on both connectors.

On one input, it sees 110 ok, and an X for 119
On the other input, it doesn't see 110 at all and an X for 119


119 shows as x on both, so it sees something.

I am using Sat21x and sat21 switches


110/119 into a sw21x then connected into the mix with 61.5 with a sw21

Second input duplicated with first.

This was working until last month....

Sounds like a bad lnb??

Can't see how BOTH sets of switches went bad at same timeor both LNB's all at once

in MY world that is not a valid set up as you describe.

119&110 into first SW21 INS then that SW21 into another SW21 IN with 61.5 coming in that ones other IN and then out to the receiver.

if that worked - it was a frankenstein setup. who did that?

what kind of receiver? seems to me that you would need an SW64, not 21's.

the SW21X is like a SW42....I use a SW42/21 setup

110/61.5 into a SW42 and the outputs into port 2 of a SW21..port 1 on the SW21 is 119..works great

I'd remove the switches and run the line directly to make sure the LNB is working

topcat 0399 sorry but some of you youngsters never had to work with Legacy equipment and learn how to do the impossible.

thank god for that.

but at least you guys got MONEY in those days eh?

Ok, it worked before, for years. An SW21X is *NOT* an SW21.

Anywayz...

I took the SW21s out of the mix (Not the 21x), check switch reported exactly as above except no 61.5....obvious.

I pulled apart all the switches, and found a corroded 119 line, replaced the connector.

Plugged a 119 and a 110 directly to the rcvr, both inp 1 and inp 2 showed ok, tried the other 119 and 110 lines, both say ok.

Pluged them back into the sw21x units and plugged then into rcvr. BOTH show

Port 1: x
No Switch

Note reading nothing. Tried them one at a time, both show as X.

Where do I go from here?

DPP Twin with a jumper in from the 61.5.

Might need a DP adaptor to power the LNB's depending on the receiver. (What kind?)

[harshness]

DPP Twin with a jumper in from the 61.5.

Actually, this is probably where the OP should have started.

[philhu]

DPP? I have a 622

How much does it cost?

SW21X switches are $9.00

Do you think BOTH died?

This is a totally legacy system. I need to get it to work as a legacy system since the 110/61.5/119 dishes are all over my yard due to forests. The 110/119 lines merge together out in the back of my yard, then come into the house where they meet with the 61.5 dish

This was working before. It worked for years.

Do you think BOTH SW21X switches could go bad AT ONCE?
