Hi All
Well my VS ultra finally came. As in my earlier post, I was going to try to get my sats working on CS 5k before the new box came. Much to my dismay, the dish I added was not a DP, but a legacy quad. I was able to get 110/119 working fine. But #2 dish,(91) with just single lnb (it says dtv) will not work. Single lnb is not "dp" but is rectangular where it hooks onto feed horn. I had just 119 before I added 2nd dish, and single worked fine.
So to summarize: Dish #1 legacy quad. port 119 to diseq #1
port 110 to diseq #2

Dish #2 single lnb to Diseq #3

I get 119/110 working under many different configurations. Diseq off, or on, it seems I can get 110/119 working. The one thing I read is that using a VS ultra, this setup would work using "standard" as lnb type. Here is one of many configurations that have worked for 119/110 NOTE: I also have diplexer on below diseq,(vhf/uhf) but always worked well when I had just one dish.

119
LNB Power ON
LNB Type Legacy Quad LNB 1
LNB Freq 11250
22KHz OFF
DiSEqC Switch 1.0 (seems to also work in off)
Committed 1 (or none if diseq if turned off)
Legacy Switch OFF (Have tried turning on to "sw 21" ect but does not seem to work)

110
LNB Power ON
LNB Type Legacy Quad LNB 2
LNB Freq 11250
22KHz OFF
DiSEqC Switch 1.0 (works in off also)
Committed 1 (or 2 as both seem to work to get 119 or 110)
Legacy Switch OFF (Tried many switch types)

91
LNB Power ON
LNB Type Single
LNB Freq 11250
22KHz OFF
DiSEqC Switch 1.0
Committed 3
Legacy Switch OFF

Whatever I change settings to 91 still says 110 on sat setup. I have been reading Harle and Blanks many posts when he was trying to get his setup to work. It is no big deal for me to just buy a DP quad lnb, if that is easier than messing with switches and spending too much time on roof. I am very eager to try new VS 2000, but want sat setup issue fixed first. I have seen Bill's post on other vs thread on setting up VS, and wonder if I should try this on new vs box
Any tips or idea's would help. Thanks in advance

 

A little bit of an update: I found that with legacy quad, you just need one cable to get 119/110. So I hooked 119/110 up to #1 diseqc. Then I took small tv and box on roof with me and made sure my #2 dish(91) was aimed the right azmith. Then hooked it up to #2 on diseqc. It did not seem to work, so I thought I fried diseqc. I then hooked 91 cable to #4 diseqc just to see, and it worked! So now I wonder if I fried diseqc? And, if I hook up to new VS ultra, will it work being that 91 is now on #4 of diseqc? I am going to order 2 chieta diseqc on fleabay. I will try the new ultra now, since new bin is out. Does VS "search" for lnb? Hope it works!!

 

Fix is out on bindepot

 

Don't know if anyone is out there?? Thought maybe this one got closed as well. Bill did start this one.
