I'm dealing with a frustrating problem right now. My 2700 works perfectly when hooked up to a plain ol single LNB... but can't get it to work with a twin LNB setup. First, I bought a twin lnb on ebay... and it was a dishpro twin LNB, so, obviously it didn't work (I guess I learned the hard way.. a 2700 will not work with a dishpro twin lnb). Fast forward a week later and I have sold the old one and bought a legacy twinLNB. This should work with a 2700.. but when I go to 'check switch' it says 'UNKNOWN switch'. I have seen a few suggested remedies for this such as first doing a 'check switch' while the twin is disconnected, then connect the twin and do another 'check switch'. This did nothing. I also heard that poor quality cable could be a problem (which I kinda believe I have). So then I just brought the twinlnb in the house, and connected it to the receiver with a short 6 footer of good quality RG-6 cable. Still nothing.
So my questions are: 1) can I detect a switch if it is not receiving a sat signal.. or do I need to have the dish properly pointed?
2) Can anyone suggest another method to get my 2700 to detect this twinlnb? What is wrong?
Any help is truly appreciated!
Thanks..
