dpp 44 switch problems

[ziggy]

I've got a 4 hd receiver setup two 211k's and two 612's. Have a 1000.2 dish ran into a dpp 44 switch, 3 receivers work perfect on port 1, port 2, and port 4. Port 3 will only give 119 feed on check switch. when bypassing 44 switch all receivers are fine and have tried 2 different 44 switches. power inserter is installed and i have even tried the switch without it. does anybody have a idea why all 4 will not work on switch at same time

The LNB switch and the 44 switch are fighting with each other. The only way to combat this is to remove the current LNB and install a "W" bracket and 3 DP single or dual LNBs with a line going from each LNB to the switch.

Dont have a 'w' bracket, is there any other solution. Why would the other 3 work fine?

do you have any connections between the switch and receiver? such as maybe a 1 gig barrel connection!

That is a possibility, but you'll still have issues with the switches fighting each other. He is referring to the insert in the barrel, it has to be blue.

Give dish a call and tell them what you need and to send a tech out.

Also, the power inserter is plugged into receiver port 1 right?

This is the mentioned "W" bracket:
