    There is horizontal for a reason and if you give us a tad more information on your setup, someone will chime in with some help. >dish size>length of coax>switches>barrel connectors>ground>legacy or dp l n b>
    First I would check coax making sure connections are good(not rusted)and of course a good grade of coax.(rg6). Barrel connectors can cause problems so a straight run is much better than a run that is spliced. Also have good grounding using a grounding block. Hope this helps

    24' dish dual legacy lnb with switch 22 running to disqec switch 4x1 not grounded rg6 coax no barrel connectors both switches are water proof and brand new 91 gets 97% signal 82 only gets 65%

    If I interpret your set-up correctly you have a twin lnb running to a sw-21 running to a diseq
    The lnb below is a twin

    How many rcvrs do you have?

    Yes one switch is all that is needed. Using the disq switch you would run coax from l n b to one of 4 ports on disq switch. You would do the same for both l n b. The coax from receiver can go in only one spot on switch. Antenna settings would reflect what l n b(satellite) was being used under disq settings. No 22khz settings
    If you wanted to use 22khz switch only, then one l n b would go to "on" side and the other would go to "off" side and this would be reflected in antenna settings under 22khz. No disq settings are used.
    If you infact have 2 outs on each l n b(dual l n b) and have 2 receivers that you want to use, then you would have to do the same setup again for the second receiver. The second setup has to mirror the first setup including ports used "exactly".
    If you do have but 1 out on each l n b (single l n b) then 2 satellites and one receiver is all you can do. good luck

    PS: when making any connections unplug the receiver

    Yes I have 2 outs on each lnb running to a switch 22khz, then running 1 coax line to port 4 of disq its all set up right dish was professionally pointed, everything is correct! brand new switches! I'm thinking maybe a have a bad lnb

    No you need to lose of the two switches!!
    Run one cable to port 1 of the diseq,the other cable to port 2 then run one cable out to rcvr
    Go to settings and turn diseq on and assign ports accordingly Turn all other switches off in settings

    Some of the older legacy LNB's need to use both outputs, one for the +13 (vertical) and the other for the +18 (horizontal), an old legacy switch would be needed for two legacy LNB's, it would have SAT 1 +13 and +18 volt switching outputs and a Sat 2 +13 AND +18 input, the switch can have 1 or more receiver outputs, some need to have a DC power supply.

    So if you have the old legacy style LNB's you then need a legacy switch, without the right type switch you will be missing one polarity or the other.

    Some switches will work with legacy LNB's but you may need all 4 connections (2 per LNB) and the 22 KHz set to "Auto", this all depends on the switch.

    EMP has a nice line of very good switches just for this type of application.

    So in your case you may not be getting enough DC voltage (+17.5 volts minimum) at that LNB to switch to the horizontal transponders, check all connections at that LNB for any corrosion or rust.

    Did you mix LNB types????/

    A DP type LNB will sometimes not work too good with old style linear LNB's, they don't play well together.
    It should be all DP or all linear.

    it helps when you post all the info at the start Terry is better at this for switches

    Don't believe it is the l n b. I would replace coax from l n b to 22kh and also replace 22khz. Total cost is 3. bucks and could solve your problem. If you wanted to check l n b, run coax direct from box to l n b and scan. good luck
