Need Help with setup

[Chris_McAloney]

I have a Dish with 2 lnb's conected to a Disecq 4x1 switch.Port 1 is 119 and port 2 is 110.I have another dish pointed at 91 and 82 that uses a DishPro Plus LNB.I know the DishPro Plus LNB has a built in switch.How can I combine all of these 4 sats into the one cable that will lead into my receiver or should I just switch out the DishPro Plus LNB and put 2 separate LNBs on for 91 and 82?The receiver I am using is a Nfusion Nova.Any help would be greatly appreciated.

​A sw21 or 22khz ecoda switch will get the job done. From existing diseqc to port 1 in on sw21 and from dpp to port 2 in. Sw21 to receiver.

I understand how to do this but now another question is how would I set up the receiver?

If I run the Dishpro Plus line straight into my receiver which combines 91 and 82 and I try to set each satellite up so the receiver can see the two satellites,I cannot get it to work properly.I can only seem to get it to recognize satellite 91 and thats it.I have tried to set each one as using a SW21 switch but to no avail.Does the Dishpro Plus LNB use a 22KHz awitch instead?

The dpp lnb has an internal switch based on diseqc, in your settings you have to set 91 to diseqc port 1 and 82 to port 2.

Both dishes connected via sw21 should have both sw21 and diseqc settings.

LNB type for the dpp lnb has to be ocs-dp (or equivalent )

Sounds good.Will try later on or tommorrow and will let you know how I did.Thanks

Ok I ran in the cable from my 91 and 82 cable into the receiver.I tried changing the ports as a disecq for each satellite.The only thing it will recognize is 91.For my LNB type I do not have a OSC-DP listed.I have Standard,Universal,Single DPLNBF,Twin DPLNBF,Quad DPLNBF,Legacy Twin LNB 1,Legacy Twin LNB 2,Legacy Quad LNB 1,Legacy Quad LNB 2.I tried changing the Multi-Switch options as well.Doesn't seem to matter what one I have it set on it will only recognize satellite 91.I know the dish is getting 91 and 82 cause if I use the B*V receiver it shows both satellites with no issues.Maybe the easiest way would be to just buy 2 more LNBs and add them onto this dish and then put them into Port 3 for 91 and Port 4 for 82 and get rid of the DishPro Plus LNB.Maybe the Nfusion Nova isn't compatiable with the DishPro Plus LNB?

[Chris_McAloney]

Sorry the LNB on my dish for 91 and 82 is actually a DishPro Plus Twin cause it uses a separator for a dual tuner receiver.Does this make a difference?

[StanW]

So you're using NOI.? Lnb should be set to quad dplnbf. Is 91 coming in on diseqc port 1 or port 2? Is there a second receiver connected to the lnb? What separator? - that won't work with the nf.

[Chris_McAloney]

Yes I am using NOI.I know there is no B*V working as I only have NFPS but want to make sure I can get the DishPro Plus Twin LNB to work before changing PS.There is no other receiver conected just the Nfusion.I am not using the separator.91 is coming in on Port 1.I will try to set 82 for port 2 with the LNB set as Quad DPLNBF and will post later the results.
I read that someone receivers will not work as it takes more power to switch the LNBs.Could this be the issue?

[Chris_McAloney]

Ok so went and tried using the Quad DPLNBF setting for LNB Type.91 comes in on port 1.82 will not come in on port 2.I even tried it with 82 coming into port 1 and it locks on 91 instead.I know I can verify that 91 and 82 are locked using a B*V receiver.
At this point I think I am just going to replace my LNB's and put 2 LNBs up and conect them into the Disecq instead.This way I know it works just thought it would be easier to use the DIshPro Plus Twin since it is already up there.

You are sure that the lnb is a dppplus ? I does have a large black BP logo on the back ? Have you tried connecting into the 2nd out port on the lnb ?

[Chris_McAloney]

Yes I am sure it is a DPPlus.I never tried connecting to the 2nd output port.Will try that tomorrow and see if that does anything.
