I was a prior Dish customer who went to Voom and back to Dish. I have the Dish500 with dual (2 lnb's on y adapter and each with 2 outputs) lnb's for 110/119 and use the voom dish for 61.5 with sw21x and sw21 to combine the three to feed an 811 receiver. All went well for awhile...
I lost 110 completely. Signal strenght on 119 at about 50%. 61.5 at 98%. So I repointed the Dish500 dish...no change.
I took out the sw21x and ran 119 and 61.5 through the sw21. Receiver says Switch Unknown. I took out the sw21 and ran 119 and 61.5 through the sw21x. This worked for awhile but 119 was still at 50% signal.
Now 119 is now gone completely. I tried 61.5 on both sides of the sw21x and it works...eliminating that the problem is the sw21x.
So, I got 2 new twin lnbs. Hooked everything up, 21x to 21, ran check switch. It says switch unknown. Took out sw21x and ran 110/119 through sw21...check switch says "unknown". Ran 119 by itself through sw21x and it shows Switch 42, got 100% signal...but on 61.5...which isnt connected.... ran check switch again and 119 came in at 98% signal.
Hooked 110 into sw21x and got 34% signal with 119 still at 98%. Took 110 off and put on 61.5 and ran check switch. Now I get 61.5 but no 119... swaped inputs on sw21x and get 61.5 but still no 119... Signal strength shows strong signals on non 61.5 transponders... Many reboots and check switches later... get 61.5 but no 119...
Would someone please give me advise on what the heck this system is doing?

I would start with a signal check of each lnb individually (no switches) to get a baseline check of how well dishes are tuned and lnbs are working. Also go thru switch check each time to see if all lnbs are legacy.
