help with dish1000.2 and Nfusion HD

[djonit408]

Hi All,
Been having a problem with a friends dish. Cant seem to get all 3 signals at once. I have the same setup as him was able to find signals within 15min. Im thinking he may have a bad switch on the dish 1000.2, When i do get signal from 119, I would change ports 1,2,3 and it would still show signal from 119. Can anyone help? Thanks

If your dish is aimed correctly then it could be a bad switch or maybe your receiver is not putting out enough power to operate that LNB properly. If you have a DN receiver handy then put it on port 1 of the LNB, turn it on then see if your Nfusion can switch sats now.

More then likely a DC power problem, the D1000 series LNB's need at least 650 to 700 mA of DC current to run right.

Get a DP switch power inserter and run it on it's own coax to the #1 port of the LNB by it's self, then the other 2 outputs on the LNB will run the receiver just fine.

you've got right LNB Type set? it should be set to DPLNBF

also, the nfhd pumps a whopping 1000mA and can power pretty much any LNB
