you must have a signal on a dish*net bird before it will detect the correct switch type. Those signal meters will show any bird up there wont they.

Hook up the 013 with no sw21, just run it straight thru to ird. find sat 119 and then hook up the other dish and the sw21 but only one coax, the one for 119. Run check switch.
once it finds sw21 and sat 119 hook up other dish and the 110 side of the sw21 and tune it in on sat 110.
after you are done and can find both reboot ird or run check switch again and you should be all set

Hey jojo, the 301 doesn't need any switches at all and is not compatible with legacy equipment. The DP LNB has a built in switch. You can hook up 2 receivers independently off of the DP LNB.

My bad. I got it backwards. Not the first time with the same question. The older receivers aren't compatible with the DP 500.

You aren't using the SW21 with the DP LNB are you? If so, remove it and try the DP.
