I am a Dish 500 subscriber and have recently moved, and am now struggling with installing my dish.
I can't give you the model number of my LNB, but it has two eyes and an external switch. When I first tryed to set it up, I was receiving around 68% signal strength on 110, but no signal on 119. I decided to check the switch to make sure that I was on the right satellite. It showed the switch model number, with odd and even on satellite 110, but X's in 119.
As I tried to tune 119 in, I wound up with 110 showing up in 119. Checked the switch again, and have now lost everything. My receiver no longer sees that the switch is even there. I have tried making all kinds of adjustments, but I get the same result. I then bypassed the switch using a barrel connector to try to tune in just 110, but the receiver gets no signal.
I have now tried just about everything. I have checked continuity through my coax, I have tried extensive tweaking with the dish, and I have tried a different receiver. I still get the same message: "No Switch Connected".
Does the dish have to be properly lined up with the satellite for the receiver to see the switch? Can a switch just go bad? Certainly it shouldn't be the receiver, as I have tried two that were working just fine and gotten the same results. Is their a system setting that needs to be reset?
I have set-up a couple of these before and have never had this problem. Any help you can give me I would appreciate, as I am getting really irritated with this!
