    Hello

    Your settings seem to be wrong, because you have selected " DisEqC Mode : None" on non-standard user defined configuration.

    I don't know your switch , so if you want to give us more info it would be nice in order to help you.
    Is it a 2x3 switch ? or more?

            Re: need help in Switch Setting in dm500s

            From what I have read, your switch is a multi switch controlled by 22Khz tone and not a normal diseqc.

            That's means you have to sellect the option "2 satellites via toneburst" in satellite configuration and set up the satellite you want as toneburst A and toneburst B.

            Also, you can try with non-standard user defined configuration by sellecting diferent settings for your satellites with toneburst.

              Re: need help in Switch Setting in dm500s

              1)--first I tried "2 satellite via Tonebrust" then shows error, still i did this setting then shows on all channecl service removed.

              2)--so reload all the channels, then i go to "non-standard user defined configuration", and in Tonebrust -A for both 118 & 119 i selected & Save.
              after this reboot box, nothing, just shows green screen.

              3)--this time i tried again in "non-standard user defined configuration", and in Tonebrust -A for 118 & B for 119 i selected & Save.
              after this reboot box, nothing, just shows green screen.

              4)--agin this time i tried again in "non-standard user defined configuration", and in Tonebrust -B for 118 & B for 119 i selected & Save.
              after this reboot box, nothing, just shows green screen.


              this is a brand new switch and expansive also, local seller sale to me, with out any REFUND he said, this is the #1 Switch.

              Any help appricated.

              Thanks

                Re: need help in Switch Setting in dm500s

                When you finished the set up for the satellites you have to reload the channel list or just to make a new scan.
                You have to know that each time you select a different option in satellite configuration you will lost all channels.

                This is normal and as I already said to you above, you have to renew the channel list.

                Btw, what do mean with green screen?
                Is this the dreambox logo of the welcome screen?

                    I remember this PLi logo screen

                    As I said you above,
                    first make any change you want in satellite configuration
                    and then make a reload to the channel list or make a new scan for the channels.

                      i tried as you suggest Switch Setting, then i load Chnl list, after this i reboot box, nothing shows.

                        I'm sorry my friend but my knowledge stops here.
                        I don't know what else to suggest you.

                        Maybe an other member with more knowledge in this field can help you more or even you can ask help from the seller that you have bought the switch.

                          Have you tried the Non-Standard User defined configuration:

                          2 satellite configuration with 22khz mode set to H/L on both satellites with Voltage set to your preferred one 13/18v

                              He use a 4x4 multi-switch for 2 lnb's and 3 receicers with Tonebrust.

                              I can't understand why do you surprised by the using of a 8 way diseqc switch on a dm500s

                              I have used even a 16 way diseqc switch without any problem

                              Also, I have configured 4 4x1 diseqc v1.1 combined with a diseqc v1.0 for the reception of 16 different satellites

                              So, I believe that dm500s it's able to be used with every diseqc that exists.

                              The only you can do is the correct configuration
