Ok, I think I am mixing up some of the terminology, so I will tell you in lamens terms what I have, and let me know if I need something else. I thought the diseq switch is only needed for multiple dishes?

I have 1 Co-Ax cable connected to port 1 of my 2 port LNB. That runs directly into my receiver. I can get both sats seperately, but never with the dish in the same location (requires slight adjustment between the 2).

I know when I was into FTA a few years ago, I was able to have 1 co-ax cable connected directly to my LNB to my receiver, and I could get both sattelites. Is that not the case anymore???

If you have a built-in switch on your dish then you don't need a discq switch, make sure your ports are set up correctly port 1 for 110 and port 2 for 119

It doesn't really matter in which order your ports are set up,that depends on your dish and the way it's set up.If it's working for you don't play with it.

Default 119 sat

I have my sat 110 set up to lnb 1 with strong signal. I have been trying to locate sat 119, adjusting and using a sat finder but cant seem to find the sat. i even switched dishes from a dish 500 dish to a hd dishpro dish and still same results. strong signal on 110 and low signal on 119. I tried adjusting the skew but it didnt work either. Could my built in disqc be bad for the 119 on my dish 500 and need a new dual lnb setup? When i was testing before i used the same location and dish and it worked fine. never had this problem before. Please give me some tips i may use to get the 119 sat. My setting on the box are the same for both sats except for the lnb 1 and lnb2 settings. I have lnb 1 on 110 and lnb 2 on 119.

If it worked before and you have signal on 110W most likely your settings are wrong or built in switch isn't working.
