dont know the blade but I cant Imagine a box that doesnt have diseqc 1.0 in its menu(thats what your looking for) the simply way of doing is to set the dish up with a single lnb on 13Ebefore you change your settings, get it spot on then looking from behind the dish put the monoblock in with the13E feed in the holder and the 19E feed to the right of it. then in the STB in the diseqc 1.0 menu asign port 1 to lnb1 13E and you should get a signal if not try port2.once you have a picture asign the other port to 19E(you will a 4port option but just ignore the spare ones)then go out side and raise and lower the 19E lnb slowly to get max signal.when you choose either 13E or 19E the LNBs will switch over automatically


heres a rough sketch of what the dish should look like.

ah I see Ithought you were setting up from scratch.
If the set up is working ok on one box it sounds like diseqc 1.0 is not set up on the blade you will have to go to the satellite setup menu and as I outlined above asign the ports for lnb1 and lnb 2 check the menu setup in your box that you have the mono block working on and the settings will be similar on the blade.
