Yeah, Thon is right. If your wiring description is totally accurate, this should not work right. Such as, if one of the wires from the dish goes to a receiver, how many wires do you have connected to the multiswitch? Which wires are they?
If you connect an HD receiver directly to an LNB, the receiver will think it is looking at different satellites depending on whether it is sending out the 22 kHz tone...but it will just be looking at one satellite. If you check the signal level on the other satellites, the receiver will give you the signal level of the one satellite you are looking at. The receiver cannot tell which LNB signal it is getting; it depends on a multiswitch to respond to the combination of 13 or 18 volts with or without the 22 kHz tone.

A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
