I have a DP625 connected that I want to replace it with my pansat 2500a. I ended my subscription, then I disconnected everything in the back. But here is where I am so confused. They have installedthrough the cable comming in the house 2 units; one says SEPERATOR DP Plus (Input - Satellite1 - Stellite2) and DPD2 (Input - VHF - SAT). I removed both units and plugged the cable directly into my pansat2500a, then blindsaned. I received all the channels on my 110 & 119 but none of my channels on 61.5. What could be my problem?
Thanks

I still don't get it!!! My 2 dishes are on the roof and I have no way of knowing what switches up there. There is one line comming into the house. So all I have to do is put a diseq switch? where?

if it was put up by dishnetwork..you have a sw21 which will not work witha pansat
are you getting the 110 and 119 together?

if you are getting 119 and 110 together right now on your pansat..it means you have a diseqc all ready.....Bad thing about those is that they stopp working after a while..I have gone through 3 in 1 year and a half....

I dont know about that pansat2500, but I have pansat2700 and use it with Dp dual lnbf it has swict built in already so just put one feed and it works and gets 110, and 119. So I dont even use disec swicth anymore for my pansat2700........
