I have a direcway system with a SAT A, SAT B and SAT C Direcduo kits installed. I am able to pick up the 119 and 101 sat with no problem. I can not pick up any signal strength at all on the 110 sat.

My setup is as follow.

Both feeds of the 101 sat (A) are going to the 13 & 18V side of the Sat A side of the switch. One 119(B) feed is going directly to the 13 V side of the sat B , and the other 119 feed is going to the SAT B side of the SAT B/C Combiner. The 110 lead is going to the SAT C side of of the SAT B/C combiner. The output of the SAT B/C Combiner is going to the 18V side of the SAT B multiswitch.

The multiswitch is a Channel Master 69041 FD. The lnbs are DWUK-A2, DWUK-B2 and not sure the model number of the Sat C. The lnbs were bought as a DirecDuo kit. The writing on the lnb says "COMPATIBLE WITH DIRECTV MULTI-SATELILITE & DIRECTV PARA TODOS DISH ANTENNAS."
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What are you using as a power meter? It sounds like you have the older style feeds that are seperate from each other.With this set up, if you are using a Birddog power meter, you have to connect directly at the output of the 110 feed.You can connect the BD to one of the multiswitch outs.

Did you ever have signal on the 110? If not, it sounds like you do not have the special Sat C LNB. It is different then the regular single or dual feed LNBs. You cannot use a regular LNB with this setup.

Hope this helps!!
