I wanted to add 61.5 to my 110 and 119 system, I changed my old lnbf to a DPP, installed second dish with a dual LNB, ran wire from dual LNB and connected it to my input on the new DPP. when I do a check switch on the VIP722 it see nothing on port 3 why? Did I not point the 61.5 dish right?
install problem with DPP and second dish to 61.5

Two questions: 1. Did you get any signal strength on 61.5 when you put it up? 2. What type lnb are you using for 61.5?
I thought so. bought it from the satellite shop and they said it would work for direct or dish, bought it with the DPP. Question If it was pointed wrong wouldn't the check switch at least see the second dual LNB?
Disconnect all leads from the dish and run a check switch. This will clear the matrix.
Then connect 61.5 only and peak.
After that, connect the 61.5 back into the DPP Twin and run check switch again.
All will be well.

Reread MXZ second post the LNB will work with DISH or Directv. It AIN"T DP. Only Legacy would work with Directv.
As boba said, you probably have a legacy LNB. Look at the LNB, if on the back of it, it doesn't have any logo on it, it is legacy. You want a dual (or single) that has the DP logo on it in order to connect to your dish 500 DP Plus LNB.
Thank you everyone for your help. I called where I got the stuff and they agree its the wrong lnb for what I'm trying to do. They are sending out the correct Lnb and I adapter.
Again thanks to all.
