I only have one..... I have a spare 311 and can get another but then I don't have the ability to go anywhere in the house with the remote. Sounds like I'm stuck.

Yes, the antenna is plugged directly into the back. I tried the 3 foot of rg6 cable with a barrel connector to raise it up some but that didn't help. As far as batteries go, I tried new ones, and that didn't solve the problem. At this point the fact that I can't change the frequency makes me...

I have a dish 322 and I can't seem to get the remote to go even 10 feet line of sight. It seems to be getting worse but never really worked right. Today I tried to change the frequency but I couldn't get that to work either. The remote was happy to change to frequency 2 but the receiver...

I just picked up a 322 on ebay to replace both of my 311's and I'm finding that the uhf remote stinks. With 6' of rg6 running up to the antenna, it's still acting picky despite the remote being in the same room 20' away with line of site. I read serveral posts on this forum that indicated...

I found a 322 on ebay for $75 which will reduce my dish bill $5 so it will pay for itself in a little over a year.

ok, I tested my good receiver and did get voltage, so I'm sure I have a bad receiver at this point. Any ideas on how to fix it? Is the onboard amplifier fused? If it's not really repairable I'll just pitch it and buy a 322 and save a couple of bucks a month. schu

I tried to measure vdc on the copper wire in the coax and didn't get anything above millvolts. Should I be seeing 18vdc on the F connector?

Thanks for the help, What central wire are you talking about? I opened the case and didn't see anything that was obvious. thanks, schu

Thanks for your reply. Dish network says the receiver is bad, but it doesn't make sense to me that it would kinda work. It seems to me that it would detect all of that sats or non of them. Perhaps I need to accept its bad and buy another one. schu

I have a 311 that will not detect satellite 119 Even when doing a switch test. I have another 311 that works fine, both using the same power, cable, everything. Because the second 311 works fine, I have narrowed it down to the receiver, but it just doesn't add up that it would fail in such a...
