[QUOTE="londonredfox, post: 957800, member: 407345"] Hello. I have a diseq switch sending in a cable from 2 separate dishes: the Hispasat at position A and Hotbird at position B. This setup's been working perfectly for both satellites feeding into 1 receiver - a Technomate 5302HD. I've acquired a couple of other receivers which I want to use instead of the old Technomate. The signal worked perfectly in each receiver, separately. However, I need to use both so I have connected the Telesystem receiver Loop Out to the Samsung... then the problems started. With the master Hotbird looping out to the standby slave, I have managed to get the required channels and receive them without an issue.. until I switched the slave on. Then I lost signal. So I turned the slave back off (standby) and waited for some 30 minutes but the channels did not come back on. Then I turned the slave on and the master off, and the channels on the slave also went off. I keep getting errors like "not enough signal" or "poor quality signal" in each receiver, doesn't matter whether one is off, both on, so on. Is it possible that my Loop Through has cut the signal strength? Can I, should I, boost it? Or did this loop with turning receivers on and off caused a problem to the actual switch or LNBs? All the help is very much appreciated... the wife won't forgive me for another day spent on this :/ [/QUOTE]
