Hey Folks,
I am trying to setup my 301 in a Dish500 configuration. I have one dish, 2 legacy LNBs, and a SW21 switch. I tuned in the LNBs such that if I connect either LNB to my receiver separately, I can view the transponder signal strengths and noted them. I can view each of the satellites channels on my receiver for each sat (ie. I can see the appropriate HBOs on 110 and 119 when I swap the cables - I appear to be getting all the appropriate HBOs).
However, when I hook both into the switch, do a check switch, the sats come in fine for both (both are green, signals are verfied etc), I a missing channels from both satellites. For starters, I don't get all the HBOs showing up (cumulative from both sats) as I see show up in the guide when I hook up the individual lnb feeds directly to the receiver. I am also missing some early channels (105-109 from 119sat which appear in guide when I only connect that LNB to the receiver) as well as others scattered around the guide.
I have tried 2 different SW21s so I am confident it's not the switches and as I said, each connected separately to my receivers yield the channels I should see. I have searched the forums for this type of problem, but have not encountered a discussion or solution. If there is one, I apologize for posting a separate thread.
I have also done the power pull/reboot, check switch with no cable to x out the matrix, then power/pull reboot, with cable connected to re-get the sats. again they appear fine and all systems are a go (including the green boxes under both sats).
Can anyone shed some light on my situation?
Thanks
Calvin
