diseqc 2in1 reduse my signal 35%

[kostis]

Hi after useing a diseqc 2in1 i saw my signal going down by 35%. i know that a diseqc Switch will reduse some of my signal but not so much. i have to say that i place it near the receivers inside the house because i coulnd pass the second wire inside the house so near the satelite dish was not a choise. is that the fault or maybe i got a faulty DiSEqC Switch?

I wouldn't think it would make much of a difference where you place the switch. There must be something wrong with your switch, cable or connection as you shouldn't get anywhere near that amount of signal loss.
Try your connections first.

DiSEqC Switch could be burn out faulty buy a new one...... Cheap!

35% is defenitly too much. A normal switch reduces the signal not 5%. Your switch seems to have a failure.
Another reason may be the cable from switch to your box or the used plugs.
Did you check this?

Hi kostik,
what kind of cable did you use?
I believe that if HW isn't broken your problem is inside connections cable.
Try to reconnect your cable and assure a good connection to Diseq.
Good luck!

I use a 4in1 switch and have no significant loss of signal.
Only the lnb-voltage goes down a bit.

Certainly the switch being inside would not cause this problem, I use two 4 way Diseqc switches both of which are behind the receivers with a small signal loss relative to direct connection of cable, must be a duff switch.

Sorry for my silly question...but if the loss is 35%...what is 100%?
In other words, what did you have before, if you can say this?
Because if you mean that before you had a single LNB, all the story is nonsense, cause it's not a loss, but a different system (LNB is now not exactly in focus, to allow to have 2 "eyes")

the newer receivers support switch 8,1 so if you see it you use of this switcher if its not support check the quality of your switch and cable

Re: diseqc 2in1 reduse my signal 35%

i had 75% signal before then i cut wire and place the diseqc switch and just connect it with the other wire on a dm7000 and the signal was 72-bu73% after i put the second wire on the diseqc switch and the signal fall to 35%. both ends shows the same signal on my dm7000 so its not my connection. i try to find it again on ebay but the seller is no longer a register seller. that may raise the chance that i got a faulty one.

indeed, most probably defective DiSEqC Switch - about the seller: no e-mail or phone on delivery note or invoice?

If not, as @easydigital said: they're relatively cheap, get a new one

Re: diseqc 2in1 reduse my signal 35%

According to this threat I've just tested.

Result:

SNR with diseqc - 75%,

without the switch direct connected - 75%-76%

Nearly no difference with my new 4in1 switch

the time im going to waste does not worth the $6, the only thing is that i have to wait for the next weekend to get the time and run some test.

Re: diseqc 2in1 reduse my signal 35%

ok, keep us informed please

fyi: just tested (not at home - family) and saw no difference with our without the DiSEqC Switch (have no %, only green and orange bars ) - so confirmation of earlier posts above.

Re: diseqc 2in1 reduse my signal 35%

Same was happened with me. One point was working well but when i connected second.. signal of first was lost by 50 percent or 0 %
