4-Way Diseqc Switch installation

I have just wired up 4 quad lnbs - but when i configure in Eagle box (running gemini 4.1.0), i'm not getting any proper signal. They work fine with direct connection.
Just wondering, do i have to match the ports on the switch with specific ports on the lnbs?? I had just connected up without any regard for this...

My System: Dreambox 500S & 7020s. Technomate 9100 & 1500. Force frontier fixed, Raven 90 fixed, Triax 90 motorised dish. Diablo & dragon cams.

Have you double checked that each port (eg.A/A) is correctly configured with the satellite/lnb connected to it, and DiSEqc 1.0 selected?

Regards,

No it doesn't matter which port of each LNB you use.

You just need to make sure that for each satellite the correct port of the Diseqc 1.0 switch is selected, i.e the one that has the LNB/dish aligned to that satellite.

Have selected satellite via 4 way switch - which opens up four lines of drop down boxes - where i can select satellite to match lnb1/2/3/4.

I only checked one switch - will try another, double check connections,etc when i get back to it on Monday.
