I'm attempting to connect a Dish DP 34 switch to allow me to connect a 3rd. receiver.
I have had 2 receivers connected to the Dish Network dish, using the DP Plus 110w-119w LNB. Before connecting the DP34 switch, I received good "S" and "Q" signals to the receivers that I had single coax leads to from the LNB.
In connecting the DP34 switch, I connected the coax from the LNB to the switch as illustrated on the switch, and leads to the receivers from the switch as illustrated.
In doing this, I receive echostar 7 as before but receive no signal from echostar 8.
I reconnected, eliminating the switch and both birds are normal again.
Am I missing something?
The DP34 is brand new (purchased from one of the site supporters).
I have gone to links that I've found on this site regarding switches and can find nothing that I might be doing wrong
In advance, I thank you.
