I see - guess I'll go buy some cable...thanks for the help

it's western - 110, 119 & 129 - but I'm confused: doesn't each cable coming from the 1000.2 antenna have to carry all the programming I'm subscribed to, since each cable is directly connected to a dual-tuner box?? seems like the switch just takes the signal from an incoming cable & splits it...

thanks for the quick reply - I will remember the power inserter...

There are currently 2 cables coming from the 1000.2 - each feeds a VIP722 (with separator). I want to add 2 more dual-tuner receivers, so can I just run the 2 existing cables into a DPP44 switch & then run each of the 4 outputs to a receiver (with separator)? Thanks for any help/advice.

I have a Dish 500 with the pro plus twin lnbfs, but it has sat around for a while without being used. When I hook it up (single cable to a separator) to my 722 box, the check switch function works fine & shows the 119 bird in port #1, 110 in #2 & nothing in #3. But when I try to aim the dish...

maybe it's the software?? Well, the recording issues continue - after running what tests I could think of (including switching cables & separators), I'm more convinced than ever that what I have is a dual-tuner receiver that doesn't know how to operate the second tuner correctly. I read the...

I thought the same thing, but after deleting all the timers, then re-creating the list with defaults set at 0 early/0 late, it just skipped Event B anyway... Besides, it has 2 tuners to work with (I'm not watching during this sequence), so even overlap should be no problem, at least with only 2...

I've had my new 722 up & running for about a week & generally don't notice much difference from the 622 it replaced. However, it has this odd quirk of not recording a scheduled event sandwiched between 2 other scheduled events which it does record, i.e., Event A is scheduled & recorded from...

I have an unused pole mount for a 105 Superdish antenna (2" OD IIRC) that I'd like to adapt to fit a standard Dish 500 antenna (1.25" OD maybe): other than thru-bolting & some serious bushing between the outside of the smaller mast & the inside of the larger Superdish pole, is there a way to do...

assuming you have a DP+ signal coming in on a single coax, and you install a separator to put the signal on 2 coax'es (like to run a dual tuner receiver), can you put another separator on one of those 2 lines to end up with 3 input lines?? and if 2 work, is there a limit to how many times you...

Just replaced my 721 with a 622, but didn't want the HD package (for now), so left original dish: superdish for 119/110/105 & original switch: DP34. Connected the new 622 (in single mode) to one of the cables (that used to feed the 721) with the DP separator provided in the box. seemed to work...

For the last couple of weeks, my 721 doesn't bring up the caller ID popup, nor does it keep track of the caller ID history. I've checked & double checked the "enable" setting, but to no avail. I'm guessing a software update glitch, but was wondering if anybody else had any ideas. Far as I can...

is the "hard reboot" just unplugging from the elctrical outlet for a few minutes?? I tried that once with no results, but maybe I'll give it another shot...

:mad: I had 60 DVR events recorded on my 522 (SW L295) & last time I checked (week or 2 ago) everything was normal. Today, I go in to watch a few & the whole list says "recovered" for each one, with a message that "...has experienced data corruption & has been recovered". I figure WOW - smart...

Hi y'all, I'm new here, but it definitely seems to be the place to get a few questions answered. Basically, what I'm trying to do is upgrade my Mom's existing system to get her some DVR & dual tuner capabilities. I'll start with what she has now: 2 Dish 500 dishes, one with DP Twin LNBFs...
