I was having a problem with getting a signal on my Pinwheel so I did a factory restore and bought a new diseqc switch. I am aimed at 119 and 110 I have 119 in lnb 1 and 110 on lnb 2. When i go to antenna settings only 119 is showing, when i go outside and disconnect 119 then 110 works. For some reason they are cancelling each other out. Any ideas?

Post antenna settings

LNB Type KU_LNB, Local Freq 11250, 22KHz Auto, TP Freq 12516/V/2000, DisEqC Parameter A, Diseqc 1.1 None and Legacy Switch None. Thats for 119. 110 is the same except Diseqc Parameter is B.

For those having issues with the receiver. I discovered that the power supply that comes with it is not powerful enough for long cable runs and switching functions.
I've upgraded to a 15V 2A power supply and now it works perfect.!

Ku is for legacy lnb which I presume you have. Dp on the lnb would have a different setting.///// disq setting try using either 1 2 3 or 4 depending on which port you have each ln b set on instead of a or b.

I have tried that. I have had this setup for years and has worked fine. I am going to buy a new LNB thats the only thing I haven't changed.

Ahhhhh. So it is not a new setup. Information is everything.
Never seen a bad legacy lnb but that doesn't mean there aren't any. And I'm only guessing you are using legacy since your setup indicates ku.
Of course the closer the switch is to the box the better it will switch. Disadvantage of this is you have to use more coax to run two lines if you're using 2 lnb. A good switch (chieta) helps with switching problems and of course having the coax grounded.
