Hello everyone,
I'm having some trouble receiving the signal from two LNBs I'm using on two different dishes pointing at 19.2E and 30W respectively.
I'm using a DiSEqC switch to connect the LNBs to a Pinnacle PCTV SAT card on my computer but the DVB-S program I'm using only receives the signal from one of the LNBs.
I'll quickly outline the arrangement of the connection between the LNBs and the PCTV SAT card in case someone notices a mistake in the way I have set it up. I have a cable going from the LNB pointing at 19.2E to the LNB 1 port of the diseqc switch and a second cable going from the LNB pointing at 30W to the LNB 2 port of the DiSEqC switch. Then I have a single cable which leaves the DiSEqC switch and connects to the PCTV SAT card.
The DVB-S program I use is called DVB Dream but unfortunately it can only receive a signal from LNB connected to the LNB 1 port of the DiSEqC switch at the moment and even after configuring the DiSEqC settings I can't get a signal from other LNB connected to the LNB 2 port of the switch. I'm not sure what the correct DiSEqC settings are in order for DVB Dream to receive both signals and I'd be grateful if anyone who has resolved a similar problem can help me out.
Both dishes are pointing correctly at their respective positions and I can get a signal from each of them when I don't use the DiSEqC switch but I'd like to know how I can receive a signal from both of them at the same time using the switch.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated and many thanks in advance for your replies.
Regards,
I.G.

Yes you're correct Tron and over here in the UK, digital terrestrial TV is available as DVB-T.
I just wanted to say that I followed the suggestions to rescan for the transponders on each LNB without the switch in place and I received all the transponders (horizontal and vertical polarisation) from each LNB.
To my surprise, when I subsequently connected the switch I found that all the channels were still listed and I could switch between channels on different LNBs successfully
The instructions that came with the DiSEqC switch weren't helpful at all and I'm really grateful that members in this forum directed me to the right solution and gave me a little more insight on how to set up more than one dish correctly with the equipment I have.
Many thanks once again for all your help.

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Can we expect to see a new coach if we say "pretty please?"

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed
Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner
The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.
Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

Really excited for this season with Kentucky having a new coach and some really exciting recruits. Probably won't last long, but here's hoping this season is great.
