Default 2 Dishes & Dreambox configuration...

Hi everybody, my installation is shown in the schema below:



I cant find the right setting in my dreambox... I tried many combinations with no success... My dreambox still unable to detect some channels that are easily detected using my old receiver!!!!

Any pro here can suggest the right settings to use (I have the last gemini on my dreambox)...

Thanks in advance

Possible with correct DiSEqC configuration and using an uncommitted switch.

It won't work and it never will,with what you have there.

You are trying to cascade diseqc 1.0 switches, it doesn't work.

Say you select Disec A/A, that will select port 1 on the switch, then you select A/B, that will select port 2 on the switch. But how the hell are you going to select port to on the monoblock??

A quick glance through your settings, it appears that they are OK, if you did actually have an uncommitted switch, but you haven't!

Cheapest an easiest solution is to replace the monoblock with two separate LNBs.



OR you could use a 12V coaxial relay instead of the Diseqc switch, it appears that your box is capable, looking at its rear panel.
