4x1 DiSEqC switch setup DM500

[r1card]

I am having real trouble setting up a Wave Frontier T90 dish, Global UK Communications 4x1 Switch and Dreambox DM500s with Gemini Image
LNB’s at 13, 19, 23 and 28 all with good signals

Switch Lnb 1 – 13
Lnb2 – 19
Lnb3 – 23
Lnb4 – 28
RX – DM500

I just cannot get the receiver to switch to any LNB ??? any HELP would be appreciated.

From main menu

setting then service searching

sat config.

Non-stnd user defined config

my 4 chosen sat's created all other deleted

in lnb config for each sat

LNB0 then LNB1 for next sat etc

LOF/L 09750
LOF/H 10600 (universal)
Threshold 11700

Unticked increase voltage

Next page

Toneburst None
DisEqC Mode V1.0
DisEqC Parameter A/A
Sequence repeat unticked
Fast DiSEqC unticked

then for next LNB1
DiSeqC Parameter A/B

and so on for remaining...

Also tried DiSEqc Mode V1.1
as above with DiSEqc Repeats One (Only have a 10 Meter run) and none
Uncommitted Switch None and unit 1
Only have Swap Commands ticked

Also tried Diseqc Parameters 1,2,3,4 ?

I have used the Diseqc1.0 facility on a TM9100 and the setup sounds similar.

However, not sure why you have gone into non-standard configuration. A 4x1 diseqc switch should be a standard option, along the the lines of 'Multisat via Diseqc switch"

The setup in there is far easier as I recall. Just a matter of setting the 4 LNB names and then setting which switch position is to be used for them, i.e AA,AB,BA,BB.

Problem sorted F Plug on Dreambox coax was loose

I am currently having problems setting up a 4x1 Disecq v2.0 switch (ASAT)
to work with my Dreambox 500S:

My setup is as follows:

I have a motorised satellite dish which will be used to access all satellites other than 28E.

I have a fixed satellite dish which will be pointed solely at 28E.

Please could someone tell me the correct settings to enter into my Dreambox 500S to get the above setup working correctly.

Should the motorised dish be connected to SAT1 on the Disecq switch?

Should the fixed satellite dish be connected to SAT2 on the Disecq switch?

Or Vice versa?

Should the motorised satellite dish be setup using Disecq 1.2 and the fixed dish using Disecq 1.0?

If not what should the Dreambox settings be?

Should the repeat option be ticked?

Should the LNB settings for the motorised satellites all be the same and the fixed satellite different under satellite configuration?

Are there any issues using a Disecq (version 2) 4x1 switch with a Dreambox 500S using the above satellite setup?

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have struggled with this for ages and want to get it working.

From memory, the switch should go after the motor , port A for the motorised LNB and port B for the second dish...
