My dog has been reading about Dreamlink HD for a dual LNB pro he cant seem to watch Lassy since he moved dog houses..
His dreamlink T4 receiver HD setting are as follows
sat-82.0w
lnb power on
lnb type ocs-dp
lnb freq-11.250
lnb 22khz-off
diseqc sw 1.0 - 2
diseqc sw 1.1 off
legacy sw off
sat 91 all same but diseqc sw 1.0 -
worked great with 2 single LNBS but had to move dog houses and only has the one double lnb.
thanks everyone!
does lnb have dishpro logo on it?Quote:

Both have dual outputs, but the last one is for a single satellite only.
Yes sir looks like the top picture.
Thanks
OK, then the dish he is using may need to be realigned, go to dishpointer.com and enter the location, then under the "Multi LNB setups" select the 91/82 satellites, this will give you a map with a line on it, you can zoom in to the location and move the marker to where the dish is mounted, this will tell you where the dish has to be pointed to get both satellites on that type of LNB.
If this does not work the the LNB may be dead, or may have a problem with the down lead coax.
but is it a dishpro?Quote:

hmmm sorta stumped.
for ****s and giggles try legacy for lnb and sw-42 for switchQuote:

Both a legacy and dish pro twin look like the top one except for the logoQuote:

Some photos of the dish and LNB would be helpful.
I am thinking out of the box on this and I have not played with a DN LNB for a long time, but with the single LNBs you used a switch, with the dish pro LNB it had the switch built in the LNB so if you are trying to use a switch with from the old setup that mite be the problem.
never saw an LNB that showed 90% signal strength that wouldn't bring in the picture if everything else was setup properly :)
Yes a good strong signal is needed but is only half of what you need, now you need quality for each satellite and each TP on that satellite, so if you have a bad switch you mite only get 1 satellite or the LNB mite not switch from V to H, the best way to test this is with a good single LNB and no switch,jmho.Quote:

The coax used for this type of LNB also needs to be rated to a higher frequency then a legacy LNB, it must go to at least 2.5 GHz or be swept to 3 GHz, or you will be missing out on some transponders.
Most FTA receivers will work OK at a signal level around 60% S, all this "S" reading is, is the level of the signal from the LNB it's self, not the signal from the satellite, that would be the "Q" signal, the "Q" should be as high as you can get it by tweaking the dish.
If the "S" signal is below 50% then there could be a problem with the coax, coax connector, a switch (if used) or the LNB it's self.
With a DP+ dual satellite LNB there should be no switches in line with the LNB or receiver, this would cause problems as the DP+ dual satellite LNB has it's own internal Diseqc switching.
Diseqc port 1 would put you one one satellite, Diseqc port 2 would put you on the second satellite.
