hi. I have 3 dishes installed. The first one 1.2m channel master is pointing to 119 with a dual legacy lnb, second 1.2m channel master pointing to 110 with a dual legacy lnb, and the third 1.8m channel master pointing to 61.5 with a dual lnb. All the cables run to SW64, and feeding 3 301.10 receivers. the system is runing perfect. Now i saw the ad about twin circular lnb that can catch 118 and 119 with one lnb (CB2008) that can feed FTA and all regular satellite receivers. the specs of the lnb are:
I.F.: 11.7 - 12.75 GHZ
L.O.: 10.75 GHZ
N.F.: 0.3dB(Typ)
So i changed the lnb of 119 to this twin circular, now when i do check switch my switch does not recognise the 119 nor 118. If I take a direct feed running from twin circular lnb to the 301.10 reciver It catches 118. but nothing of 119.
is there a way i can get 118 and 119 from 1.2m dish and 110 from another dish so i can get rid of 1.8m channel master that is pointing to 61.5
Keeping in mind i don't do FTA and have 3 301.10 receivers.
Also I am not in the US so I have to use big dishes to get proper signal.
Hope someone can help.
Thanks a lot.

No i do not have dish pro lnb's....i am using SW 64 and have only legacy lnb;s.
thanks.
 
That LNBF will work with a FTA receiver that's configurable for two different LO frequencies. A standard dish receiver is expecting 119 and 118 to be from separate ports on a switch.
 
The LNB that DISH uses for the 500+ that has two ports marked 1D and 2F and picks up 118.7 and 119 is a DishPro LNB and will not work with the SW64 switch. You will need to replace your other LNBs for DishPro and change over to a DP34 switch.
 

Happy New Year!!

Charged for Switch as part of Install!!!
