View Full Version : Out of my 4 sats. Stb can only see any random 3 signals at a time.

Okay so I aimed my dish. I confirmed strong signal on all 4 sats individually before I introduced a switch for my 82 91 110 119 single dish setup (I aimed one at a time with coax from 1 lnb to receiver at a time). My first switch only got 3 sats and I lost signal to 91. So i Moved the ports around. Then I lost 119 but got 91 back. Moved ports around and changed the switch and lost one and got the previously lost one back. So i tried another switch. No luck. My jynxbox can only allow 3 signals at once. I did notice that the coaxial cable that Is setup from my dish to my stb is CATV coax. Could that be the problem? So I had the same problem on 3 different switches. I did manage to get all 4 sat signals working at once on my first switch but then the switch failed and Had no signal at all until i tried replacing it.

I am on bin 239. I had the same issue with an older bin.

What type of switch? Your problem is probably related to the cable that you are using - how long is it? Grounding the switch might help but changing the cable is the correct thing to do.

I tried two different chieta 1.5dB loss switches. The bulky ones. Diseqc switches

some switches power all the LNBs at the same time and only signal, if your switch is powering all the LNBs at the same time the
jynxbox don't have enough power to do that, you can test it this way, take the coax off one of the LNBs then power up the receiver
to one of the other sats, then see if you have power on the coax that you took off the LNB if you do then the switch is the problem.
