Dish 300 and 119

[Gary Z]

Will a Dish 300 work for 119 to Get NASA, Angel and the Audio?

 

[GaryPen]

If everything you want is only on 119, it will work. That was what my first Dish system had back in 1998, before they had the D500.

 

[Mr Tony]

yes it will work just fine

 

[Gary Z]

All I have to do is use a 2x1 switch to tie is in with my Traxis 3500?

 

[Mr Tony]

correct

 

[Gary Z]

This is my setup...see attachment

I get NASA and ANGEL fine

Lets say I start at IA 5 and move down to IA7 works fine until I hit 119 then when I go past it to G10R and go to the G10 channels I get nothing... keep changing channels it then moves to IA 7 and White Springs comes in fine... I go back to G10 using DisEqC 1.2 moving motor back toward the east I get G10 save the position..

Start back at IA5 and go though all the Channels to G10 again same thing can't get G10 again? Any ideas what I'm doing wrong.

I have all my sats set to LNB 1 except for 119 which is LNB 2 all Sats are on a motorized dish except 119 which is a stationary dish.

I would wire the switch after the motor. If that doesn't help-check for slack (back-lash) in the motor shaft/gears. To much slack and it will have trouble stopping at the right location from one direction or the other.

It worked fine earlier today before I added the Dish 300.... so I bet you are right... the switch always goes after the motor?

 

[Wescopc]

Yes, that way the motor load doesn't go through the switch.

 

[Mr Tony]

the switch needs to go between the motor and the LNB's/dishes

otherwise its gets screwy and you can burn the switch out pretty qucik
