Hi there I have a dish 500 with 2 dual lnb's running to two switches (sw21)
It seems both Ird's 2700 and 4900 work great, that is until they are both on. It seems when my 4900 runs a check switch test with my 2700 powered off it works fine and great signal on both 119 and 110 transponder 11 = 126 signal. As sonn as the Ird that was powered off is turned back on I can only get 119 even transponders. This is vice versa situation on both IRD's. I feel I have locked on to both birds, I have rechecked cabling. Now it is cold where I am from and winter is coming are the sw21 switches weather protected? and does it matter what port the lnb plug into on the sw21 ie 119 on port 1..110 on port ?

I hope this is a faulty lnb issue, I have quad lnb (legacy) on its way to test out. Was hoping maybe someone here had similar issues. if its not the Lnb what else should or can I try to resolve this issue.
