Dish/Dave on same dish

[jc76]

I connected one end of the 119 dual lnb to the 4x4 sw, then one end of the 101 dual lnb to the 4x4 sw (this completed dave setup) , then conected the other end of the 119 dual lnb to the sw21 and the single lnb (110, placed between 119 and 101) to the sw21, I can see dave's two birds with no problem, but when I use dishnet I can only get 119, I had system do a sw check an it detected it but tells me that only on satellite is connected, how can I get daves 119-101 and dishnets 119-110 using the same oval dish???

Is the LNB you are using for the 110 one that came with the Sat C kit for the DTV Eliptical Dish? If it is then it is a special LNB only for the DTV 110 and will not work for dish. Just get another regular DTV single or Dual LNB, put it in the 110 slot connect to your SW-21 and it will work. Also I recently set up one of these dishes the same way you are trying to and I found that connecting only one of either the 101 or the 119 to the 4x4 switch resulted in me only being able to get odd or even transponders from that bird. In order to get all channels from all satellites I had to use a powered multiswitch like the one in figure 6A in the link posted by Blaster to split the 119 for use with both DTV and Dish. If you do not have a 5th gen IRD or are not interested in getting the DTV 119 (it only has Spanish channels, the NASA channel and some locals) it may be easier to not even use the 4x4 switch that came with the Dish and use the 119 strictly for Dish. If you do want to get both 119 birds you will have to get that extra powered multi-switch in order for it to work properly.
