diseqc switch

[johnch121]

I have installed a 4 lnb diseqc switch but it does not seem to working with my dm800 it can get as signal from 28.5 but not from 19.2 13.0 amd 23.5

It works fine when connected to a spiderbox but not with my dremabox.

anyone have any ideas?

Thank you

Hi mate

How is your tuner setup Sipmle and then 4 sats ?

Ill be honest DMM boxes are picky with switches some work some dont, just because it works with your spider box does not mean it will work with a DMM box.

Yes as you say it is set to simple the A B C D

Thank you[/QUO

notice that all LNB should be exactly the same for dreamboxes otherwise you get some problem.

Thank you for that it is very kind of you.

I tried that but that did not work either it is very annoying, I have changed it a bit and now all of the lnb's are of the same make but now the only one that works is the one pointed at 19.2 but again if connected to a spiderbox it works with all 3. I tried another diseqc switch but that did not work either it just stayed the same.

maybe the problem is in diseqc or in one of the cable!

To find out <try to connect one by one>:
-Disconnect all the lnbs from the diseqc.
-Connect one Lnb(ex:23.5) to diseqc port and remember that port.
-At the DM800 menu set 23.5 to that port (A=1,B=2 ... etc)
-If it was not working then that port of diseqc is damaged, try another port.
-now Connect another Lnb(ex:13.0) to unused diseqc port and check if u can get signals from both lnbs, and of course setting 13.0 to that port before testing.
and so on...

<assuming you know how to setup diseqc correctly at Receiver side>

I had similar problem and the problem was one of lnbs cable was short circuit!
try to strip both end of lnb cable and try again [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hc1CTE9ee2Y"]How to connect satellite, LNB or coaxial cable to F Connector! - YouTube[/ame]

Look at your DM800 power supply.
If may be be of low output.
Try changing your to another one with 12v 3A or more output.
Some of the power supplies do not produce enough kick to switch between the Diseqc switch ports.​
