Diseqc switchs problems

[saidias]

Well, I got my QuadPolar LNBF today, as well as a 4-1 Diseqc switch....Im having issues

I don't know if my switch is bad, but its not working...

Here is the current config:

Pansat 2700A -> SG2100 -> Switch (2.0) -> #1 is Linear #2 is Circular

In the setup, I selected Diseqc #1 for all my Ku Birds, and select #2 for my Dish/EchoStar Birds.

Oh, Ku (#1 - Linear) is set to "Standard" - Dish/EchoStar (#2 - Circular) is set to "Single Stack"

The Ku is working GREAT!, but when I select a Dish/Echo* bird it gives me signal quality, but I get no picture......So, I went up and dissconnected the coax from #2, (wife and I were talking via cellphone while I did this) and there was NO guality drop.....I dissconnected the #1 as well, and then got no signal.....(it appears the swith is only passing though port #1)

I screwed the #2 cable (circular) to port #1 and BAM, got to Echo* video to come in...

I know that all sound confusing....but it appears that the switch isn't switching....what am I missing?

Thanks.

always make sure to turn off the receiver via the switch on the back when you are changing stuff around so you don't burn out the switch

But for DBS, select "Standard" and change LO frequency to 11250
Then it will work

Yes, make sure you turn off the equipment. I had a similar problem and found out I blow a port because I did not turn off the equipment when changing the coax cables.

burned out a few switches in my time because of not doing that
