OK I currently have Dishpro system with 2 receivers. One them I am testing with.
I want to use the old DTV dish on my roof to get 61.5. I bought an SW21 switch to be able to add that signal.
I hooked the switch up to the 2 outlets at my wall near the receiver. One is the Dishpro input and the other is the DTV dish and LNB.
Problem is the receiver can't see the sw21 switch. I do the switch test and it still just shows the original Dishpro input 1 and 2 off the built in switch in the LNB for 110 and 119.
I am thinking the xternal sw21 needs to be physically near the 2 dishes to equalize impedance so the receiver can discriminate? Currently the SW21 haas about 50ft of cable run from each LNB to its inputs.
