It was someone local contracted by Dish. I will inquire about it

Thanks for the info. What is the cost for a part like this and will Dish just send it to me?

OK, I have looked everywhere and I have not found a power inserter anywhere. What I did do was switch feeds coming down from the RG6 Dual cable, connected to the switch up by the dish. Once I did, the 722 now works just fine. Should I still be concerned about no power inserter?

Thanks for all the info. I did not find an inserter anywhere around the Dish, the switch or in the house at all. I switched the two feeds coming from the dual RG6 cable coming from the dish/switch. That did the trick

Thank you for the information. I am thinking the only place this inserter could be is up or near the Dish itself. I have seen the DPP44 switch from looking at your diagram. I will check that tomorrow.

Here ya go. Thanks. This is on the VIP 722

Well when I run it with the other box plugged back in, then all is well again. Anything I can do to remedy this?

OK it did tt on input 1 and 2 (#38 of #38). Results are show in the screen caps

VIP 722 in use. I disconnected VIP 222 as I longer need it. I have the latest Dish 1000. I am not sure about switches and the like. I think it has 4 LNBs perhaps

I am sending one of my receivers back as I do not need it anymore. Anyway, when I disconnect it, I lose satellite channels on the other and itsits at the screen telling me I need to acquire satellites but it never does. I plug the thing back in and everything is fine. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

I am curious as to how they (ATT/Dish) will react when I cancel and tell them that I have switched to Uverse? Did they mention to send your LNBs back as well? Or just the receivers?

Had it installed on Saturday in Illinois. Very clean nice install. I rather like it along with the 10MB internet service. I know ppl are talking about quality for HD but honestly it does not look bad, at leas to me. And by no means am I an expert. Install was quick on my side although I...

I have switched but not to the other satellite company.

Well I did not go the other satellite dark side but the uverse dark side. I was a mere 200 feet in actually length from the VRAD plus I also work for a certain telecommunications corp.

Thank you for the quick response.
