Under dish settings, choose legacy switch, scroll through till you get sw44. 91 will likely be sw44 dish 1, 82 sw44 dish 2.

Which transponders are you checking for signal?

[mitchljeremy]

i tried to scan in the channels and nothing.

Do you have a power inserter connected to port 1 of the switch? The receiver should be connected to one of the other ports, I've never had any fta receiver work through a sw44 power inserter.

What type of LNB's ???? (you need two of the exact same type) The old legacy type (+13 and +18 volt switching) are the only ones that will work with an SW44 switch.

If you are trying to use the newer DP or DPP type LNB's it wont work, you would need a DP44 switch.

And are you within 200 miles South of the US/Canadian border, (or in Canada) if not then forget 82 and 91.

I have the newer dish network and bell LNB. Looks like I am gonna have to change out the switch to a dp44 thanks for all your help.
