bev 91 and 82 with digiwave 4x1 and linkbox8000hd problems

[NewtoIKS]

ok I can get a great signal with both birds but as soon as I plug in the 4x1 switch I only get one signal 91. so im wondering what I have to do at this point oh ya forgot to say I just got a ls 500 and installed then did a scan on both birds all tp showed ok on both birds (without switch installed)

I would try a good quality 4x1 switch for starters. I don't believe digiwave are highly renowned for their quality. Also, if you are changing out switches make sure you unplug the receiver from the wall socket as if you don't it can and will likely fry the switch.

I just paid 25 for it I had a cheaper one and same thing and I only turn main switch off in back of receiver hope I didn't blow it then hmmmm so would a bev sw21 work then

is there something I might have to do like update something. I just did a factory reset again and now scanning both birds without switch everything ok so far now I hooked the switch back up and still same

What types or type of LNB(s) do you have on that dish?

And what do you have the LNB type set to in the satellite settings?

[jainplane]

My bad. Never thought to inquire as to your settings. Once you have your settings set try a scan of the birds. I don't have 129 on my set-up but for 119 I use port #1 and for 110 I have port #2 and lnb setting of 11250. If after checking everything out and it's still no go I would suggest using an EMP-Centauri 4x1 diseqc switch or one of equal quality. they come with a weather shield and work like a champ. And always unplug the receiver from the wall outlet when messing with the wiring. It doesn't take much to short the switch out.

I have 2 separate lnbs for bev and I have the lnbs settings at 11250 and diseqc 1.0 at 91 port 1 and 82 at port 2 but I finally fixed issue I got a sw21 switch and it worked. all the switches I tried were cheep ones they had a germen one I wanted but they wanted 70 buks for it. In the end sw21 is my best way at the time until I get another setup for 110 and 119. then ill try different switch. any germen made ones will work as im told but china built ones wont.

Use EMP or Spaun, they are top of the line.

But make absoutly sure they match your LNB's, there are several types, DP, standard and legacy.

same thing happened to me had digiwave 4x1 it seamed that 91 would over power 82 in any config even when i had 110 an 119 plugged in or by them selfs i took my EMP-Centauri 4x1 diseqc off my jynxbox and that fixed up my linkbox put the digiwave 4x1 on jynxbox no problems.the linkbox just don't work well with digiwave??

[NewtoIKS]

so it could be a linkbox problem the fix would spend $70 on a spaun that's 4x1 or $20 on a sw21
