Bev 91w

[redzo]

Tried scanning BEV sats on my Limesat HD. 82W (Nimiq 4) was a breeze. Got the channels in no time. Scanning 91 W (Nimiq 1) is not going well. Not getting the signal although the dish is in the same spot where it was before. Tried different LNBs, yet nothing works for me. When I used the old Viewsat got about 300+ channels. Don't know what else to try. Any Idea would be appreciated. Thanx

Do you have two LNB's on that dish or one with two eyes on it?

Also what type of switch are you using?

[redzo]

I got 2 LNBs. One for 91 and one for 82. Using Diseqc switch (4x1). All other sats (82W, 110W, 129W) work just fine

Two LNB's for 4 satellites???

82 and 91 or 110 119, but not 82, 91, 110 and 129, you would need 4 LNB's, 2 on one dish and 2 on another.

The spread between 82 and 129 is too great for one dish and only 2 LNB's, unless it's a motorized system.

Somethings not right.

We need more details on your setup.

I got 3 dishes. One's got 110& 119. One Dish has 129. No problems there. The other dish has 2 lnbs 82 and 91. 82 comes just fine. 91 (Nimiq 1) won't pick any channels

Just a little more nfo. I got an SV8K and 91w is still listed as old Nimiq 6.

That's the NEW bird in the sky. Most receivers will tell you 91W is Nimiq 1

redso sounds like u got a blown diaeqc port on the switch,try changing 82 0n 91 if works u need a new dia.

So you have 5 LNB's (5 satellites) run into a 4 port switch............How????

Your going to have switching problems if one of those LNB's is a DP twin, and the others are not DP type LNB's.

On the 110/119 dish what type of LNB(s) is/are on it?

On the 129 Dish what type of LNB is on it.

On the 82/91 dish what type(s) of LNB(s) is/are on it.

What brand and type(s) of switch(s) are you using.

We need all this info or we are all guessing.

Solved the problem by getting the new LNB. Thanks kindly to all of you for help.

Good to hear, but others may like to try out this setup, if you can please post your setup so others can try it out.

A diagram would be nice, hand draw it and I can do one up in autocad.
