I have been chasing one down for a while, finally narrowed it to the 622 HDMI output to my Yamaha A/V unit. When I disconnect the HDMI to the A/V, it goes away. I then ran a ground wire from the dish to earth, and from the DPP to earth, no bueno. Should I try to ground the 622? Isn't the 622...

Thanks Krell I believe I have an alignment issue with the dish 1000. When I disconnected everything from the DPP44, then connected 110 and 119 in port 1 and 2, everything checked out fine. But, then I connected the LNBF for 129, ran check switch again, and I get bad SS from it as the HD...

still having trouble #1 Ok, maybe I am confused. With the mast mounted straight up, (the part where the dish clamps, the elevation numbers on the side of the clamp in no way match what my elevation for 61.5 should be (40) When I just eyeball the dish, the numbers on the side of the clamp say 65...

Update Ok, here is what I have done so far. The original dish is a 1000 with three LNBF's. I take it that they are for 129, 119 and 110. Running point dish: 129 locked at SS of 79, 119 locked at 89, 110 locked at 91 Installed 18" dish with DP LNBF (two outputs), pointed it to 122 azimuth...

I thought the dish was a 500 It has three lnbf's and my 622 and 921 can see them, just not well. I am reading horror stories about 129, so I thought I would point another dish to 61.5. To answer your other question, the DPP44 has one available port (#4) Thanks!

He is my current config: Dish 500 with three lnbf, on for 110, 119, and 129 129 reception sucks (I live in Angleton Texas, south of Houston) All three go to a DPP44 switch Receivers: vip622, 921, and 500 series DVR's I found an old 18" dish with a single lnb (neither are DP Plus) that I...

Well, I appreciate the support from ya'll, but Dish just blew it. I called tech support to verify when the tech was coming out, they said they do not have me on the books for today. I realize that I will be taking a performance hit by using DirectTV (all HD lite) but I can only stay in a...

Hi Randall. Thanks for the info. The last intelligent technicians alluded to doing that (installing a second dish), but in the end did not. They thought the bad cable ends were the problem, however they did say they "tuned the 129 as close as possible" I have no SS on TP 31, 71 on TP 6...

Rather wordy, but not even a complete detail of the problems I have had over the last year. Sent the text below to ceo@echostar.com I am fed up with Dish Networks lack of ability to solve my reception problem. Since April of last year, I have spent hours on the phone and had over six visists...
