FTA and Legacy receiver's on one LNB

[dp4900]

Hi All, I had a puzzle that I have trying to solve for few weeks. With a set up of 3 dual LNB's showing bird 110 119 & 61.5 on one line of each LNB I take a branch to Disecq going to an FT... A, on the other branch I take an SW21X and SW 21 to a legacy 301. Now I noticed that I could not run both receivers at the same time in order to have the FT...A showing an S and a Q I have to disconnect the 301 on the other branch. The 301 does not mind having the other receiver connected. Is there any suggested set up to get both running at the same time? :rolleyes: I am not sure why the legacy receiver 301 always tends to drop signal on the other one.

change out the dicecq for an sw41 and see if that helps... I had the same problem, I think an SW switch blocks some signal from the 301 reaching the FT..A and screwing with it that the dicecq doesn't, you could even try putting an SW21 between the FT..A and the dicecq, just strait through on port 1..... might work

Thanks Ninrule I will try the second option I have few extra SW 21, will see if this would work.

I have tried putting SW 21 before the FT...a but I saw no difference. I am not sure what is this the SW 41 isn't the diseqc a SW 41. I did not see in the menu pull down an option for SW 41 is this compatible with FT.. receivers?

What if you try just getting 119 and 110 with an sw-21 instead of the diceqc.... just as an experiment

Yep I know this works, have tried it before but then I have to skip the 61.5

How many sw21's do you have? try them placing between LNB's and Diceqc instead of Diceqc and reciever, That is actually how mine is on the one out of four LNB's I share between receivers, kinda like a filter. I'd still try to get ahold of a real sw41, I think the 301 screws with the diceqc variety in fact and not the reciever itself..... Keep me posted!

I finally solved the problem with the 22khz Sw they work like a charm. If I knew they work so well I would have never bothered about those lousy Diseqc. By the Way Sw21 and diseqc never go together I ended up frying 3 diseqc's combining them with SW 21 in different connection configurations.

Glad you got it workin. My Sw21's and diseqc are still working together....
