Congrats!! I've been bizzie doing other things and haven't looked at the forum in a couple of days. As I was signing in, I was wonding what ever happend with your system! I'm thrilled for you! Glad to pass on what I found out from Dish 921 support team! Dave

Yes! Yes, it does work. I have a 921 connected to my DPP44 switch through a DishProPlus Separator (absolutely required as the 921 will not currently work well with a DPP44 if it is being fed from two ports on the DPP44). I have a Dish500 pointed at 110/119, Dish300 pointed at 61.5 and Dish300...

Finally!! Well, it took them over a month to "figure out" what to do, but the official word from the 921 support team at Dish is that a 921 MUST have a DishPro Separator feeding it it's two signals when talking to a DPP44 switch. Currently, the 921 doesn't like talking directly to the...

Do you have a DPP Separator feed to your 921? I FINALLY got my 921 to work properly with my DPP44 switch after Dish's 921 support team told me that this is the ONLY way (currently?) for the 921 to work correctly with the DPP44 switch. Prior to my using the separator, I could only get odd...

Agreed! I think I stated that the fact that a production piece of software that has these issues is not good (but I can "handle" them since I'm also an engineer). I've not seen any of the OTA locals problems you've seemed to encounter. I have CBS, ABC, NBC and FOX HD OTA locals and they all...

Not "perfect" but not useless either... I like my 921. Yes, it has some "issues", but I guess I've gotten used to them. When I got my 501 (really early software version), it had "issues" and I got used to them and now, the software is basically rock-solid. I also have a Model 6000 and I...

Sorry! Wrong system. You quoted the software level for a 921 system NOT the Model 6000 being discussed. The proper software level for the Model 6000 is 7.84. The proper sofware revision levels can be found at http://www.dishnetwork.com/content/customerCare/technical/software_versions/index.asp

nini0000: Read page 10-12 in the DPP44 installation guide which you can find in PDF format at http://www.solidsignal.com/dishnetwork/DISH_Pro-DISH_Pro_Plus_Installation_Guides/DISH_Pro_Plus_44_Switch_Installation_Guide.pdf

Ok! Here's another interesting "tidbit." I tried Simon's suggestion and got the same results. When the frost cleared from the roof, I went up and swapped out the DPP44 switch with a DP34 switch (obviously pulling out the power inserter FIRST!), went back in and did a switch check on the 921...

That is GREAT news.... however, I'm having a bit of a problem. I decided to "take the plunge" (after deciding NOT to get the 921 last Feb. when DishDepot called me up as #5 on their waiting list) and get a 921 from a local retailer for $549. I also decided to swap out all my legacy LNBs for...

I asked a question in the Gen. Dish Forum about this same thing (sorry for the dup, but thought the 921 group would see it better here). If I use a DPP44 switch to hook up 3 dishes (Dish 500: 110/119, Dish 300 for 61.5 & 148 -- all using DishPRO LNBs), I KNOW that I can hook up this switch for...

Thanks for the info! Now the next question: lets say I use a DP+44 switch instead. Now I KNOW that I can hook up this switch for all 4 orbital locations (61.5, 110, 119, 148). The question is will the 921 recognize this configuration and will it "work" (I know about duplicate channels in the...

Is it possible to look at 4 orbital locations (61.5, 110, 119, 148) using a DP Twin for 110/119 and DP Duals for 61.5 & 148 (cascaded through DP21 switch) connected to DP34 switch or do you have to have the DP+44 switch? I already know about how to get around duplicate channel entries in the EPG.
