I have a sky dish and a motorised dish and have connected them to the receiver with a technomate 4 way switch. At the moment I can get 1W fine but can't get anything off 28E. If I take out the switch and connect the sky dish everything is fine so I know the cable and the dish are fine etc it just doesn't seem to switch from 1W to 28E any suggestions?

Have you checked the manual?

hiya mickha. Yep got the manual I think its a dodgy switch. Whichever input goes to lnb4 on the switch works but none of the others seem to. I think I have another switch at the old house will have to ask the kids to dig it out for me and try that
