switch question TIA

[spanky]

hey guys got a quick question i hope sumone can answer

i got a starchoice 22k switch and its labelled 22k on and 22k off so which is #1 ??
if i hook up one way i get 110

otherway seems to give me nothing but slight chance i got settings wrong

seems like its not in right order or the switch isnt changing lmb

I would say junk it, if you need to use a switch, get a Diseqc compatible, they're not that expensive, and time and headaches are worth more than money to me.

The Pansat 4 x 1 and Rocket 4 x 1 are well regarded as being clean performers, w/o a lot of signal loss on the switch.

well it was hooked up previously to a DN receiver with the heads and dish at sumones house and was working.... just not sure about setting up the switch as its my first time doin it on dvb and was having a few of those ever so nice little annoyances

You can't use a 22k switch with FTA or DVB cards, theywill only partialy work... Get a Diseqc switch, well under $10

I got my 44 switch to work using MT using 22K tone for LNB2. I did not get it to work properly with Progdvb. With MT I got all channels listed that were on each Sat . Put 22000 in the box marked sw. for the second LNB. This will produce a 22K tone when selecting a channel located on the second Sat. and enable the second LNB. If you need more detail let me know.

Now all I need is the crack for BEV. Any word when it will come out?
