    Can I share DISH line with cable modem?

    Diplexers are frequency filters that only pass high frequencies to one output and low frequencies to the other. In your installation they combine and split the TV2 output and the satellite in signals so only one cable is required to the receiver. Diplexers usually don't work well with cable...

    setting up satelite (dishnetwork) for RV

    Aim it at 119 or 110, run check switch and you should get the programing on whichever one you're aimed at. When you connect it back up at home, you'll have to run check switch again.

    setting up satelite (dishnetwork) for RV

    You can use EA or WA with your receiver. The problem is, you won't get your locals if they're on a satellite you aren't receiving. With an RV that shouldn't be a big deal because when you leave your home spot beam area you'll loose them anyway. To use a dish that's different than your home...

    Deactivate dish network receivers

    They can be sold if there are not leased units owned by Dish. Call Dish and they will look up the ROO number and tell you if they are clear.

    Will this setup work?

    Yes, it should work. TV's 4 and 5 will only be SD and will have to watch the same channel. If TV's 3 and 6 are in different rooms the remote will be a problem. Why not a second 722 for TV's 3 and 6? Yes, the 612 has coax out. With the 722 in single mode you have all the functions using #2...

    do seperators go bad?

    You hooked it up right I hope. The separator is marked tuner1, and tuner2. It will only work if hooked up correctly.

    Moving receiver between two locations? -Help

    You need to point the dish at exactly the right spot to get reception. Look up the pointing coordinates for your zip code at dishpointer.com. You'll need to know what type of dish you're using. If you have HD and only one dish then it's probably a 1000.2. Set the elevation angle and skew on...

    Moving receiver

    Yep, just run check switch to set up the receiver for the different dish. When you return home you'll have to run it again to go back to your original dish.

    Best Signal Strength Meter for RVing

    Spend a few hundred more and go for a Birdog. They positively identify the satellites and send switch commands to the lnb's assuring that you're receiving the correct satellite on each lnb. They're a little pricey, but they eliminate all the guesswork. I saved the cost of mine in liquor alone...

    Troubles with New York HD locals

    The HD locals are spot beamed. Check the maps for the spot beam you're trying to receive to be sure you're within the reception area. http://www.satelliteguys.us/thelist/index.php?search=dn61?=true

    Please Help...before I jump...dish 1000.2

    Lets start from scratch. Go to dishpointer.com, put in your zip code, and get the proper coordinates for the 1000.2 at your location. Set the correct elevation and skew on the dish. Make sure the mount is plumb and slowly rotate the dish in the azimuth direction. Use the angle brackets on...

    Will it work on my setup

    Oops, just reread your post. You can't use a separator with two different receivers. You should be able to connect one receiver to each connection. You'll still have to run check switch to set the receivers for the different lnbs.
