replaced my Dou Therm stat with digital

I followed this video pretty much but wires were different colors. If you jump to the 3:45 spot on video is what I am referring to.

Everything works fine except I can not figure out the high and low speed fan operation. I have not installed a switch as shown here (yet) but I have a orange wire which was fan on Dou Therm and blue wire which was low fan. On the digital there is only "fan", if I hook the orange to it I have fan on high speed, if I disconnect the orange and hook up the blue I have no fan. (I would think this should work) in the video attached and several others I have watched they added a switch to go from high to low but if hooking the blue wire to fan on digital stat (with no luck) how is the switch going to work different? Maybe I am just confused??

    Don't worry about the low fan it really never gets used enough to worry about

    Many times we sleep with the fan on low continuously just to move air and drown out some campground noise.
  • Thanks for the quick reply, I was hoping :) I used a Honeywell digital. It seems as though my wires may be switched (orange and blue) On the Dou Therm it has blue on "HI" and orange on "fan"
  • Which Brand of digital t-stat?
    Hunter, Honeywell, LUX ???

    Duo Therm-----
    Orange is usually Low Fan
    Blue is High Fan
