    F3 settings for diseqc switch

    Hi, I currently have two dishes, one pointing 28.1 and the other and the other at the moment pointing 19.2.
    if i put them individually into the box they work on their respective satellites.
    i have now got a diseqc switch 2ports. i have 28.2 going into port 1 and 19.2 going into port 2 and obviously one cable going into the receiver. when i go to the menu in the F3 what settings do i need to have to get the switch to work? i can get 28.2 up with it going through the switch but i can not get the 19.2e to work. i am sure it is just a setting that i have not done correctly.
    i go into menu, satellite list and i can see the satellites i have set up. 28.2 and 19.2. it says name, longitude, lnb type, Diseqc, Diseqc1.1, Motor type. i can edit the satellites and it gives me options of diseqc1.0 and diseqc1.1 where i can change diseqc1.0 to port 1-4 and diseqc 1.1 to 1cascade m1ort 1, port 2-4, 1cascade m2ort1 and so on....

    i have tried to fiddle with them but can not work it out....

    any help would be much appreciated.
    thanks

    I have virtually the same set up but one dish two lnb's with an openbox s11.

    Should only have to put port one on to the antenna setup for 28.2 and port 2 for 19. Is your diseqc switch working or does the box just pick up the signal when directly fed from the dishes?

      i managed to sort it eventually.... i changed the position of the cables on the switch and re-scanned each satellite individually.

      now i just need to work out what channels are worth watching on 13E hotbird!!!!
