After having another switch mounted on my roof go bad, my installer replaced my 2 antenna setup with a new single triple LNB antenna (not sure which model as it just says Dish HD on it, no model number that I could find.) The new antenna just has 2 cables and these currently are used for each...

8 years ago I was going to cancel DishNetwork because it cost too much to have separate accounts for my main house and my vacation home. They offered to combine the accounts and just charge for the receivers in the vacation home. This last week they called with some story about needing to...

Receiver connects to a Linksys WRT320N router which connects to my Comcast cable modem. I have configured anything special on the router for the receiver (can't find any info or support about anything that needs to be done to the router to allow access.)

a few other notes in case anything rings a bell.... My router is setup with: NAT enabled Dynamic Routing (RIP) disabled DDNS disabled SPI Firewall protection enabled Filter Anonymous Internet Requests enabled Filter IDENT (Port 113) enabled IPSec, PPTP, and L2TP Passthrough enabled...

Yep, UPnP is enabled. Everything else on my home network has no problems accessing the internet. And I'm assuming that the fact I can run the Apps from my 922 means, and when I run the broadband diagnostic on it and it passes, that it is connecting via broadband (but could be wrong there..)...

I haven't used dish remote access in many many months. Had it working a long time ago. Now that I want to use it, I find that Dish Remote access says my receivers are not connected to my local home network. On my 922 slingplayer, I've checked the broadband settting from the receiver, it...

Tried just the first port as well, but still only get sat 91. Anybody know a good local installer in truckee, CA?

Ok, finally moved to the new house, got the 1000.2 antenna, all the wiring installed and tested with with a coax signal meter. Now challenged to get a lock on any of the desired satellites. Between the receiver, the booklet that came with the new antenna, and various websites for pointing...

if I just need 110, 119 and 129, can I do that with just a 1000 dish? And in that case, do I need the dp44?

My 922 shows 110, 119, 129 and 61.5. I guess that means I need both the 500 and 1000...

I've had a second home DishNetwork setup for years, but am now moving my second home. In my primary home, I"ve got 2 dish's (500 & 1000 w/ a DPP44) and get AT250 and HD package on a VIP922 and VIP722. The old second home just had the 500 and a VIP622. When I move the second home, I'd like to...

It looks like it's pretty easy to swap out the LNB for a DPP, I can keep to a single cable run for now, and then potentially add another dual tuner receiver down the road. I think I'll go that route....

Thanks - They are just labelled Digital LNBF - so I'm guessing those are not the DPPs. Is there a separator that works with the older ones, or do I need to upgrade my LNBs to DPP to support the dual tuner receiver?

I just swapped out an old 501 with a 625. I have a 500 sat and am using the single cable that went to the 501 through a separator into the 2 inputs on the 625. Running a check switch shows ok on 110 and 119 on both tuner 1 and tuner 2. When I check transponder inputs, on tuner 1 I...

I have a wiring challenge in my TV room with only a single coax cable running to it (and no access under the wall and a vaulted ceiling with almost impossible access to get to.) I'm using the single coax running to the room to carry the dish signal (which is split at the receiver to support...
