hello,
well first of all we know the dishes are ok and aligned.
need a 3 input disec switch.
the receiver will have to support disec a,b,c,d.
in this case one sat is on disec a one on disec b and the other on disec c.

almost all receivers over the last 5 years support mult disec inputs.
if you have only disec a on for nile sat then thats all you will receive.
once you activate the other inputs it should work.
remember if you the wrong sat input and the wrong disec tone activated you will not pick up the other sat at all.
if input one is nile then usually tone a is activated and it will be working.
if astra 19 is on input b and you have c activated the you will see nothing at all on the other 2 satellites.
activate b and c and swap input 2 and 3 if the input 1 is working ok.
keep us informed
ralph

The sytem used to work fine as it is set up now.I have a 4 way dysec & the dreambox is correctly set up, stopped working a while ago & weather conditions were not good for trouble shooting until recently. As I said, I've tried 2 new dysecs, no help. connected the dishes individually & they are fine. Just having a problem switching between dishes.
Anyone have any ideas?
