You are probably using a wrong switch. Here is a link to what switches to use and what not to use. http://www.ftaprofessionals.tv/switc....html#post5342

The best switches to use in your case would be Dish SW21 switch, they are proven to work with Viewsat receivers using Dual LNB's. It's possible that one of the LNB's isn't working properly. Best thing would be to test your LNB's by connecting both receivers to it without using a switch and see if they work.
