You can eliminate the LNB by moving the "new" coax from the 91 to the 82 sat. There would be no way or super slim that both would go at the same time. If both then I would think the dish moved.

OK, that LNB has a built-in switch, you have to account for that in receiver dish settings LNB Type OCS-DP I believe

you can't move the coax to get a different bird

correct
and then pick correct port
it would be 91 and then 82

I'm a bit confused. I have a dual LNB on my dish for Bev. If I eliminate the sw21 switch I can connect the coax from the receiver directly to either LNB weather it's 91 or 82.

Ok now I understand that particular LNB has a built in switch.

You most likely have legacy LNB's, the DPP lnb with built-in switch band-stacks both signals down one cable
and you separate them with the Receiver on the different ports, Like DU said

Correct about legacy LNB's, that's why I corrected myself...lol

[auggie]

legacy setup is the way I have it as well, it is easier to do for me anyways, FTA boxes are used to 13v & 18v switching
and most don't have the power to support all the Newer stuff/equipment etc. to make them run right.

Are you getting any messages on TV Like no signal or bad signal etc. ? or did you lose the Signal Totally.

[beefcake]

Its bad or no signaL THXS

[auggie]

have you changed out the power adapter that came with the T5 ? You need one that has more power like 12v 3.5-5amp
for the T5 to run right, and the DPP LNB's are power Hungry

[beefcake]

Thanks i replaced it a couple years ago do you think its bad if it powers the reciever up thxs
