Okay so now I decided to remove my DPP44 and use my LNB in on my 1.4k Eastern arc LNB, but now the Hoppers see that it's hooked up and showing the 118, but there is no signal on the 118.

What's the issue?
I have Alternate on and nothing.
What am I missing?

At all.

Says Error port 4 on system test.
That mean my lnb in is not working properly?

Isn't alternate ON only used for Alaska and Hawaii installations?

I previously had a 1000.4 EA installed with a 118.7 wing dish to it and connected to a DUO node (2 HWSs & 1 Joey) and didn't have a problem getting my international channels from 118.7.

To help with rain fade, I recently removed the 1000.4 EA and installed 2 Winegard 30" dishes for 61.5 and 72.7, connected them and the 118.7 to a DPP44 which connects to the DUO node. It definitely has helped.

The only way my Hoppers would even see the 118 is if alternate was on, Otherwise it only saw 61.5,72,and 77
As I said it worked fine when I had the DPP44. For some reason it won't work off the LNB.
I don't need the 77, so I'm going to just find a DPP33.
Instead of running another coax for the PI, since the 211z has its own dish.
