Thanks for the answers. Yes it is a standard LNBF, so I will be looking for a 2x4 switch on ebay. Not many listings on ebay, most are Zinwell 3x4 switches, hope they are good.

Hi... I have a dish with dual LNB pointed at Galaxy25 (97W). Each line feed from a LNB is used by an FTA receiver ( a Viewsat and a Coolsat ). Is it possible to add a third receiver into this setup such that all receivers get signal from Galaxy 25? Thanks.

Can you point me to a in-line amplifier from one of the online stores?

Can a home made power inserter ( 18V DC adaptor with 1-2 A max ) to used with a 1000.2 LNB to provide extra power by connecting to output 1 of the LNB, while the output 2 and 3 can be used to connect to the receiver? I was told that I need a power inserter for my 1000.2 setup - and I want to...

Ok thanks. I see that these switches work with DirectTV / Dish network also. I just didn't know that you can mix linear with circular pol equipment.

Hi... My satellite dish that's pointed at 97W was buried under the snow. It stayed buried for about 4 days. I just digged it out today. Now I have 0 signal quality. The other indicator ( I believe is S ) is normal ( 70-72% ). The LNB + 2 pass trough connectors on each halves were under the snow...

Hi... I currently have 2 receivers. Each one is connected to one half of a double linear LNB. The dish points to 97W ( Galaxy25 I believe is the current name ). My question is how can I add a third receiver to this setup? Is there a smart switch out there that can allow this? Thanks.

After the problem happened, I removed all switches ( I used to have a diseqC 1.2 switch ). Now it is a straight run of cable to 1 lnb ( with 1 pass through connector ) and is still the same. The cable upstairs is longer than the cable downstairs. However - just to try it - I moved the receiver...

I have a strange problem with my setup upstairs: I have a Viewsat Ultra connected to Galaxy 25 ( 97W ). I could get all channels for a couple of days ( all transponders 50% to 60% quality ), but today I noticed a strange problem: 1) all transponders with horizontal polarization have gone 0%...

Can someone please explain what a transponder is? Do I need to fine adjust the antenna ( azymuth,elevation ) for targetting a specific transponder? I'm getting the following behaviour while trying to target Galaxy 25 ( 97W): - I'm getting 82%S and 50-60% Q on just a few transponders, but I'm...

Sure it is aligned with the long axis. What about somebody with a 36" ( 90 mm ) Fortec that has good signal, can they provide some measurements? Thanks.

Colbec of anyone else with a Fortec90 cm, is it possible for you to measure the distance from the left hole on the edge of the reflector to the screw of the lnbf holder ( the distance you mention ), and to provide the "good" value? This way I can set my distance to be the same. By "good value" I...

How do you measure the "focus length" of an offset antenna? It is the distance from the Focal point to where? Thanks.

I was pointing to IA5 ( 97W ). The reflector is good ( I just checked it by turning it upside down on a flat surface and the edge is touching the flat surface all around ). The reflector also looks good ( there are no bends, the surface looks good ). I had only troubles with this antenna. The...

I have problems with my Fortec 90 cm ( 36 inch ) antenna ( U bolt style ). The problem is that I'm getting a good signal on one of the transponders ( 12090 ) but nothing on the others. I did some experimenting by removing the LNB from the enclosure and keeping it with my hand ( taking care I...

The switch seem to have been defective. I replaced with another one ( the same manufacturer DMC ) and this one switches fine. Thanks.

Is the 22KHz switch supposed not to work with circular LNBs? I'm trying to have 119 ( Nasa TV ) and 110 ( GolTV ) by connecting 110 to inputA ( 0Khz ) and 119 is connected to inputB ( 22Khz ). The output of the 22KHz switch goes to the receiver ( Coolsat 6000 ). In my setup I have: 110 LNB...

I took the diseqC switch out and now the receiver is connected directly to the 22 Khz switch output. So how am I supposed to use the 22 KHz switch in a simple setup ( receiver, 22KHz switch, 2 sats connected to the 22 KHz switch inputs ) ? Thanks.

Hi... I want to connect a diseqC switch and a 22 khz switch. I have LNB1 going to 22KHz input A and LNB2 going to 22 KHz input B The 22 Khz output is then connected to a diseqc switch. In the Coolsat 6000 menu for the 22Khz settings I have the choice On/Off. I set On. The problem is that I...

There are 3 things that I'll check next: 1) I'll take the antenna apart and I'll check that the lnb arm is the same shape as the one at sadoun. I printed a copy of the arm's picture from the website and I'll measure the angle of the arm and compare with the angle in the picture. 2) I'll turn...

Why do you add 24 deg to the elevation of 32 deg for a total of 56 deg ? The line of sight has nothing to do with the offset that my dish could have. The los is established when you survey the location. From the possible location that I want to choose if I point 32 deg in the sky, that line...

I still thing that is a location problem. I read somewhere that you don't need only a clear line of sight ( line one single line ), you need some angle above and under that line ( starting from your dish going up to the satellite ). I was looking today and it points in the direction...

The problem was solved. I deleted all channels and did a blind scan. It found channels this time. I had some AMC3 or AMC4 channels stored from when I was trying to find IA5 and hit the AMC3/4 instead. In my opinion I should not have had to delete anything. Thanks.

Hi... I have a DiseqC switch that I recently purchased. It says: DMS International DiseqC 4x1 Switch 950 - 2150 MHz DiseqC2.0 Is this going to work well will Ku FTA ( standard LNB ) ? I'm worried that the frequency range is not large enough. I have seen that the original Viewsat DiseqC switch...

That might be what happened. But how can I get it back to the original shape ( angle ) ? What is the original arm's angle supposed to be? Thanks.
