Installation question, south of the border

[emilioalvarez]

I was able to tune F2, up on the roof. But after i put the switch, signal fell to under 60. I had 93 with the cable directly into the receiver. Can this be a faulty switch? I connected F1 to LNB A (0 Hz) and F2 to LNB B (22 KHz). Signal on F1 is a bit lower, but I can still watch everything.
Any ideas?

but now with both sats connected to the switch, are you able to change channels from one sat to the other without any problem ? say for example tune in 69 and then 70 back to 69 again and if that works fine, then it´s switching between boths sats just fine, not sure why would the signal strenght drop on Anik F2 when you include the switch.

The signal from F2 is stronger than the one from F1 (even if using the same dish size). make sure you have fine tuned the skew on the LNBs

Success, finally!!
I went up last night and rechecked all my connections, cleaned all the copper leads on the coaxial cable, and so on. Came back down and have a signal between 86-92. Now I have to make a new line for the PVR, but that's no problem now. Got through the hard part.
Thanks everybody for your help, I appreciate it.
