Verify lnbtype in antenna settings - it's probably set to ocs-dp ( or equivalent) . If that's the case change it to standard or universal.

It is either diseqc or cable!

I have the issue with SV8k but not with jynxbox, so I don't know how that is a diseqc or cable, I also tried all setting single universal odp etc....

What type and brand of LNB(s) you have, and how many, and what type (if any) switch are you using will help us a bit better.

If you have the old legacy LNB's then it's ether your settings for the LNB or the switch used with them, the old style legacy LNB's use a DC voltage to switch between the transponders, and your missing one, or one of them is too low to switch.

If you have the new style DP (Dish type) LNB for 118/119 then you need to set it to OCS-DP, and use the correct Diseqc switch setting to go between the two.

If it's an aftermarket brand for the 118/119 combo then please tell us what one is it.

Is this a new install? (did you just change the LNB?) Or has it been working for sometime then quit?

It's Jafo

Confirm all your connections,cable run and switches are working well.Sometimes a loose connection is all it takes
Also confirm a good ground to the dish while your up there.

I had the exact same problem! but with 91 and 82 sats on a friends system... the problem for us was the coax ends! Here is the thread
with pictures of all that I went through.... hope it helps..

I switched form the dp lnb only for 119 to the CIRCULAR DUAL LNB ANIK F3 CB2008A 118/119
it was working before the switch, and I have 2 switches for 2 receivers, that's why I said it works on jynxbox

For that type and make of LNB you need to set it to "Standard" and the LNB frequency to "10750".

This is for both 118 and 119 satellite settings.

Your Diseqc switch settings will remain the same. Diseqc #1 for 119 Diseqc #2 for 110 (if you have it) and Diseqc #3 for 118, or Diseqc #3 for 129 and Diseqc #4 for 118

do you have sonic view 8000 HD? no Standard options, and 119 and 118 should be in the same port for that LNB, thanks for trying to help but I'm not a noobe and was wondering if some one had the same issue, it looks most of the responds here are basic troubleshoot, that I tried already
again thanks and no offence

I did not imply that you were a noob, if it came across like that then sorry.
And no I do not have one of the SV 8K's.

OK...If the settings are correct for your receiver then it's a DC voltage problem, your not getting above the 15.5 to 16 volt switching threshold for the "H" transponders, that LNB uses the standard +12 to +14 volts for the "V" transponders and +16 to +19 volts for the "H" transponders, it could be the coax jumper from the switch to that LNB, or the cable type, or the connections have a problem.

If the coax is the copper plated steel stuff it can corrode or rust, thus causing a DC voltage drop.

Or something is wrong with that LNB causing it to suck too much DC current and causing a DC voltage drop.

Have you tried a new coax jumper to that LNB?

thanks will try a new coax, good info about the V and H voltage

Yah some of the cheaper coax has a copper plated steel center conductor, if the conductor gets wet it can rust, this rust causes a DC voltage drop, if it gets too low the LNB wont switch correctly.

You might be just at the voltage level to switch to the "V" polarity's, but a bit short for the "H" polarity's. Some LNB's have a Plus or Minus .5 volts on the voltage switching spec.

If that coax looks to have some rusty connections then also check the input pins on the switch and LNB's "F" connector, the rust can affect these as well.

This is why I allways use the good RG-6 quad coax with the pure copper center, it gives a better performance on some longer runs, and doesn't rust, and it has less dB loss per foot then the cheap stuff.
