3sat Installation Help Needed!

[jakesnake3037]

I have a Dish3900 receiver hooked up to a legacy dish with 2 twin lnb's receiving 119/110. I have a Voom satellite that picks up 61.5 with excellent signal connected to the 3900. I've tried hooking up both sats with 2 sw21's hooked together like everyone said to, but I cannot get 61.5 to show up. Check Switch just shows an SW21 connected with 119/110. Is this a limit of the 3900 or do I need to use a different switch?

Immediate help would be appreciated....TIA

That's because you CANNOT link 2 SW21s together. You will need to either get a 500 Twin for the D500, OR you can try to get a Microyal SW21-X that is basically 1/2 of an SW42 that is no longer made.

I guess I will have to run to my bro's house and swap him lnb's..Just didn't feel like going on a road trip...LOL

Thanks for the quick reply!!

Note that you will ALSO need an E* HD receiver to see the V* channels.
