when you are moving cables,switches, disconnect/connect, etc. are you shutting down "EVERYTHING"
If not, then you most likely have a blown Switch or LNB etc.

The photo I posted is of a DP standard (not legacy) LNB, the legacy LNB's use +13 and +18 volts to switch between transponder polaritys, they are not inter-mixable. (DP standard/Legacy)
This will cause all sorts of problems, (Now or later) the DP standard dual output LNB will run two receivers off it's ports, so you can use two Diseqc switches to run all 3 LNB's into two receivers.
Or use a DPP44 switch to run all 3 DP tpye LNB's and 3 FTA receivers, less to go wrong.
Is there anyway you can post some photos of your LNB's, this will clear up things.
Unfortunately I cannot take a pic of my LNBs except d/l that pic that comes close to what they look like,
All LNBs do work because I have used coax cable between barrel connector working on sat 91 and now on 110.
I will not be using sat 119 being that it is a weak satellite.
The next question since 2 of the LNBs will work with barrel connector with full S and Q blue green bars then I should go with another DiSEQc switch, but don't know if a Chieta Switch is the one to go with.
Thank you for your feed back.
The HD Chieta Switch is a Good quality one to use and cost less than the EMP diseq switch
I have tried to connect sat 91 with a barrel connector to one box, and then sat 110 to another barrel connector and then to box. So I know now that the BAFF Switch has failed and will have to go with 2 HD Chieta Switches instead. The LNBS are OK or I would not get blue to green for S and Q on Dish Settings.
I thought the BAFF Switch was good but not as good as the Chieta.
Thank you all for your help, but I found that after waiting awhile for my Chieta Switch it seems to have done the trick for one receiver. Now I have to do is order another one for the other receiver.
Sorry for all these posts in this thread, but I have an update after trying the a new Chieta Heavy Duty DiSEqC Switch and it did for awhile.
Unfortunately it stopped working and I had to go with the barrel connector between either Sat 110 or Sat 91 and the receiver the coax cable was connected to.
The LNBs I have as I said before are all 15 year old ones and at one time worked with what you said are Linear LNBs.
The Dishpro LNB you have pictured there look the same as used on the b$v Dishes with a 'D' base.
If I do replace the old LNBs with the one you said will it work with a Chieta DiSEqC Switch or another type of swith.
Thanks in advance.
When you are moving things around (connect/disconnect, cables,switches,etc.) are you "SHUTTING DOWN EVERYTHING"
INCLUDING the box/rec. another words unplugging, complete shutdown of equipment.
If you are not doing that, then something either has shorted/blown out (switch,LNB,rec. power supply, etc.)
I suggest getting Legacy LNB'S if you plan on replacement, they are not as hard to setup, and not as power hungry as the dishpro stuff
The first one is a Legacy LNB.
The second one is one that is used on mostly b$v dishes.
The third one is the one I have on my dish which is a Dual DSS LNB LO which is used mostly for DN Dishes.
Please tell what you think and I can always replace the old LNBs for new ones, and also have to get a new Yoke Adapter for these LNBs.
Thanks in advance.
OK, D-PRO, D-Pro-Plus, etc. should be labeled/marked right on the LNB,
I don't think I have a D-PRo or a D-Pro-Plus, but I can tell u what is written on each one one my LNBs I have on the dish.
First one is Cal Amp Compatibility with Direct-TV
Second LNB Compatibility with Direct-TV
Third LNB states the same.
They all look the same as picture number 3.
They may look like a linear LNB, but when I did a search it
As you can see the color picture which is the first one is a Standard LNB for DIRECTV also used for DN.
On the third picture.....LNB Chart my LNB is the third one over....not a Linear LNB because if it was it would have never worked with the DiSEqC Switch before.
I was able to switch from Sat 110 to Sat 91 without and issue with switches on there but it died that way.
Also leaving it on 11250 and single seemed to do the trick too.
You tell me I should go with the Legacy LNBs then I will do it.
Thanks for your help.
Suggest you go to the Sat HARDWARE DISCUSSIONS & Pictures forum and get this,"Installation guide for Legacy LNBs & Switches"
and any other info related to dish setups and LNB & switches to use with each ?
i am no expert on this, just offering what has worked for me, (my stuff ALL Legacy setup)
