I am new to dvbpci world but not to fta. I own a Viewsat extreme, captive works 600s and a pansat 3500. I have spent countless hours in the last 5 days trying to get a good scan of the sats. I have a dishpro 500 for 119 and 110 and an old dtv 3lnb oval dish for Nimiq 82 (hd), use to be for 91.
I am using a diseq 4x1 with 119/110 in 1 and 82 in 2.
Every time I scan 119 and 110 it gets the same channels in each.
I cant even get a signal in 82
I will appreciate if somebody can help me with the diseq settings.

You have to connect 110 and 119 to two separate inputs on your diseqc switch in order to switch between them. Do you have two separate LNBs for 110/119 or one big LNB? The big LNB has a build-in diseqc switch, and you can't cascade those with your additional diseqc switch.
