Help again with multi LNB setup.

[equant]

Ok, explain to me why what I'm trying to do won't/doesn't work...

I have a BUD. I have a fixed Ku dish pointed at whitesprings. The BUD has a Ku LNB and C LNB that go to a Diseqc switch going to a single receiver. This works.

The fixed Ku dish has a single output LNBF. If I remove the BUD and Diseqc from the equation and run the Ku dish straight into the back of the receiver, I get White Springs with a 70% quality on a Visionsat 200.

The trouble is when I run it into the third port of the Diseqc. The BUD LNB's still work, but the whitespring dish doesn't show any signal. I tried two different Diseqc switches (same brand). I also tried a different cable from the White Springs dish. I also tried a Diseqc switch with only the WS dish on the first port. No go.

Any reason this setup wouldn't work?

Thanks.

Connect the Ku Dish for White Springs to Port 1 of the DiSEqC Switch, just a test.

I'm assuming you have the correct Diseqc port set up

Tried that. I get 0% signal and quality. I tried it with Diseqc set to 1 port one on the receiver. I tried it with Diseqc set to "off" on the receiver. Tried it on two different Diseqc switches.

The only thing I can think... Is it possible if the voltage out to the LNB is borderline, perhaps the voltage drop of the switch is enough to kill the signal?

At what voltage does H become V? 13V?

Thanks.

I guess that's up to you? I can only offer you reassurance that that's not the issue, but I can't make any guarantees.
