Help with setup, probably easy fix

Help!
I recieved my 7100 yesterday and wired it to a Dish 500 dish with dish pro twin lnb's. I have two outputs on the dish pro twin lnb's and therefore have two coax coming out of them. These coax are then running to a 4in1 diseq switch with one in lnb1 and one in lnb2 and the coax coming out of the reciever slot and running to the coolsat 7100. Loaded latest bin files and autoscanned satellites and channels. Everything worked perfectly on Satellite 119 but for some reason 110 isn't working. When I go to menu and manually look at that satellite it shows a red bar with 80% signal but I can't get any channels from 110. After looking at some forums it seems as if I just need one cable running from the dish pro twin lnb to the reciever and not even need the switch. Is there any way around this? I put the switch under the house and it's a pain to get to. THANKS!!!

I think you answered your own question...Nice!!! LOL

Yup remove the DISEqC and only use the cable out of the right LNB (from behind the dish). Do a factory default and rescan for sats...Should detect 119W in DISEqC port 1 and 110 on DISEqC port 2...the dish 500 LNBs have an internal DISEqC.

Let us know how it works out!

Cheers

Is there any way to do it and leave the switch connected? I would hate to have to crawl under the house again

if you have 2 lnb's, they're duals, not twins and you only need one feed from each going into the diseqc switch. if you have only one lnb then you can't use the switch. The best dish to use for the coolsat 7100 is the 1000.2 If you can't get your hands on one of those, get a dish pro plus lnb and go straight into the receiver with no switch. the 7100 will detect it and configure it then do the channel download. Hands down, the 1000.2 works flawlessly and you pick up a few extra channels on the 129 sat also.

The Dish 500 pro lets you have to receivers hook with no DisEqc needed.
It has build in switch in DP..
