I have an upgraded Viewsat Ultra and am using a legacy twin LNB (2 LNB is one housing). there are 2 cable connections, each of which I am told is used for 2 different receivers and there is a SW42 built in to control it. However, on IKS66, I only see the 119 satellite which works perfectly. However, the 110 don't come in at all. This also happens on our CNX Duo. I set the switches to SW42 one satellite port 1 the other port 2. and Legacy Twin LNB on the Viewsat Ultra. Any ideas? I tried changing the LNB's to another of the same type. These are not DP or DPP LNB's. Please Help. Thanks!

I wonder if you have two dishes. One for 119 another for 110. If you have one of those small charlie's twisted dish, you should use a DP LNB and switch.

it is a single dish. The LNB says Digital LNBF. Looks like this:

2 connectors, supposedly one for each receiver.

Switch is built in and yes can go to two receivers. Set switch to 119=1 and 110=2 and I think ocsdp.

Thanks Sammy...still no dice, using OCSDP I'm not getting anything. I tried changing the LNB's to an exact duplicate, same issue. These definitely are not DP, but a Legacy Twin in the set-up, but only one bird still appears.

Your probably using a dish 500. Double check your skew.

What should the skew be set on?
