Sam, I'm using the 722 mostly as a testing device, plus it was the receiver that was here when I moved in. I have DishTV at my other residence (Hopper and a Joey), and that's what I'd probably want if I decide to subscribe here.

Well, it's not a service-affecting issue (since I am not an active Dish subscriber) and it really isn't a priority. This whole adventure has been a way to get something accomplished (i.e. testing and labeling all of the wires in my AV equipment closet), and keep my brain active and learn...

Hello TAG, I had previously found two BLACK leads that I thought were going to the dish, but they are not (or if they are they are open somewhere between the garage test point and the dish). Testing each lead separately with two different receivers (my 722k and a borrowed 211z), running...

UPDATE: Thanks to all who have responded to my thread. I really appreciate all of the information and suggestions. I made some progress...pulled out my binoculars and was able to see that my dish is a ProPlus 1000.2 (Western arc, 110, 119, 129), with a single white RG6U lead going from the...

Thanks for that, every little bit helps! Assuming that it will do the 1 of 38, then the next step will have to wait until I can climb the roof. Would the circuitry of the LNB show a high-resistance loop or ground across the center conductor and shield of the cable? I'm looking for something...

Hello Folks, I am laid up at home with a broken foot so I have a lot of time on my hands. :biggrin I mentioned in a previous thread that I am trying to ID the wiring mess that I inherited with this house. After much research and toning/tagging/testing I have ID'd and labeled most of the cable...

Hello Sam, thanks for the reply. This would be my method of choice; unfortunately, I am in a cast and confined to ground level activity for the next four weeks while recuperating from a broken heel. I was hoping that perhaps the dish would have some sort of signature resistance across the shield...

Hello Folks, The previous owners of our house apparently were Dish TV subscribers, and they left behind a VIP722k receiver (with smartcard still inserted) and the rooftop satellite dish. Our CATV RG6U cables are home-runned into a distribution cabinet in my office. The distribution equipment...
