Default One LNB Two Sat Positions on dm500

Tried everything and absolutely knackered now so guys please help.

I have two sat dish - one @ 9.0e and two @ 7.0e.

Two LNB cables connected via a diseqc switch ( 9.0e on lnb slot one and 7.0e on slot two) The diseqc is outside next to the two dish.

So a Single LNB cable from the diseqc output straight into the house connected to my dm500

Now this is where I struggle massively. when I try scanning both 7.0e I get all channels but nothing comes back for 9.0e.

In my dm500 satelite configuration using two sats I rightly allocated 9.0e to lnb1 and 7.0e to lnb2.

Having said all the above I have tried many other settings but only pick up the 7.0e and nothing on 9.0e.

Can someone please help?

Many Thanks in advance.<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Hi welcome to TW mate. Are you sure that you are getting a good signal quality from the dish/LNB you have on 9E? I am not being patronising, but have you tried a cable directly from that dish to the box and tried a scan without the switch in line?

Regards Wez

to test it, just use an female to female f connector in place of the switch.

Incidently you should also recieve 10e on your 9e LNB
