    Check Switch Details No signal Port 4 External LNB

    Thanks for all the help guys. I currently have the 129 lnb covered with foil and cable tied. I pointed the 500 for the 129 bird using my birdog meter, so I'm pretty sure I've got it pointed right. I am only inputting 1 cable to the 1000 from the 500. I guess I could be off-tuned on the 129...

    Check Switch Details No signal Port 4 External LNB

    Well, I connected the 129 and saw it and 119 on the test. Problem is when I reconnected to the 1000.2, with the dish 500 on 129 input in the 4th port lnb, the check switch test reverted to 110/119 again.

    Check Switch Details No signal Port 4 External LNB

    Thanks for the clarification guys. I disconnected the input to the separator and cleared the matrix. I then reconnected and ran it again, but still got only 110 and 119. I'll go up and connect the 129 direct and try that next.

    Check Switch Details No signal Port 4 External LNB

    OK, not sure about that response. Matrix? do you mean switch? I don't have one. It is straight shot from dish to receiver. Bypass 1000.2? You got me with that one. Thanks for the help though. Any other takers?

    Check Switch Details No signal Port 4 External LNB

    I just added a Dish 500 tuned to 129 and connected it to my 1000.2 via the external input port 4. After the Check Switch test, it still doesn't acknowledge anything on this port. The Details section says "No Signal Port4 External LNB input". I covered the 129 LNB on the 1000.2, but...

    Is the VIP622 18 month lease agreement negotiable?

    Guess someone should explain that policy to all the CSRs. I was put on hold today while the CSR verified with a "senior CSR" that, indeed, I could get a new 622 without committing to 18 months of an HD metallic package. It struck me as unusual that they'd let me have their flagship HD...

    Superdish vs. 2 dishes for locals

    I'm in Boise with a Dish500 getting 110/119. I was going to get locals with a second dish tweaked to 121, but the CSR said I'd need a Superdish. Isn't a properly tweaked 2 dish system the equilivalent of a Superdish? At the time I just accepted the CSR's advice, but as I learn more, I've...

    So what's the real deal on the "lease fee"?

    Interesting to note the HD metallic programming requirement. I spoke with a CSR today, in a vane attempt to nail down the actual cost of an upgrade to a 622. She had me hold while she verified that any package would be alright and there would be no requirement for an HD package. I am...
