Looks like this post was missed. Let's bring it up again to see if wecan get you some help.
By Location 1, 2 and 3, do you mean, Diseqc Port 1, 2 and 3?
Please post your antenna settings for all the sats as they are now so we can have a look.
If you have already resolved your problem, please let us know, and what you ended up doing to correct your problem. I would hate for anyone to be without a Sat TV.

Tks. Teck. !,2,3, sites refer to locations. unit works well on one and two but on 3 is the problem .Settings on unit the same on all locations.It must be something common to all 3 lnb's eg: switch or cable. I have changed switch to a good Chieta,still the same. I guess it's cable aprox.100ft. ;)

May be a ground loop issue if receiver settings are correct. Are your coax's grounded to grounding blocks?

So you have 3 LNbs and you have one cable connected to Port !, another to Port 2 and the other to Port 3?
How are they connected?
119 to Port 1
110 to port 2
what sat for port 3?
How many receivers do you have connected, just the VS Platinum?

Tks Guys. I am using Dish 500 with 2 dual legacy and a Dish 500 with 1 dual legacy conected to a Chieta switch with 3ft. leads with a 100ft run to STB. I think that it might be a problem with low voltage on one side 13/18. Maybe a line amp is the answer.;)

100Ft should not be too long.
Are you using LNB Type Standard on your settings?
Are you getting from Sat Lock for all of them?

Yes sat lock on all. And strong quality. I am thinking that it is voltage or cable related because all three sats are the same.;)

If it is Cable, voltage related, then your S signal would be lower than 40% or so, is it?
If it is 50% or above we should be looking else where.
Can you please post your antena Settings for all 3 Sats and include the
S:_____% and Q:_____% signals of each satellite?

Whooooooooooooa!.......:)
Ok. First off Marcella, The only way you're going to get that set-up to work PROPERLY at 3 different locations is by using a multiswitch, not a diseqc.
Before we go any further, please give us your Chieta model number and what type it actually says on the switch..
