I have a dual LNB feedhorn on my 12 foot dish. I bought a pair of DMX211 LNBs and installed them. I also got a zinwell sam-3402 multiswitch to combine the signals. I am getting about 10 channels on 99w through the horizontal part with decent signal quality. When I initially ran a scan on the Vertical LNB without the multiswitch I was able to pickup a couple channels with high signal quality. Now after hooking it up to the multiswitch I am not getting anything. Is there a certain way to make both of them work? I think I set the horizontal one on the 18v input and the V to 13v. The inside of the feedhorn has some debris in it from storage(spider webs, dead bugs etc) would this cause a signal loss? I am also wondering how to setup the motor that spins the feedhorn. I am assuming that this is for Skew but it has 3 or 4 wires coming out of it. I am not sure where to hook this up. There is a polarization control box that came with this setup but I am not sure what it is for. Any help would be much appreciated. sathorn.jpgsatfeed.jpegsat lnbs.jpg
