After much troubleshooting and hand wringing, I have determined my 625 is NFG. One factor is a long cable distance from the Dish to the 625's location, but the 301 I put back there works fine. One thing I noticed is the other 2 receiver's signal quality went down about 30% whenever the 625 was...

So the plastic casing over the DP dual LNBF comes off rather easily revealing a core that looks much more like the legacy LNBF I am replacing. I am going to try to install it like that tomorrow.

We get all our programming through 119 so the dual is OK. Since it has to be aimed so locally I need some ideas in how to mount it better. The legacy LNBF has a narrow neck that a collar clamps around to hold it tightly in place. The DP Dual has a wider neck and is obviously designed to be...

OK so I hooked the DP Dual directly to the back of the TV1 on the 625 (and also to the 301) and ran a check switch. It recognized that it was a DP Dual, but Satellite read CONN and Transponder was X. No reception. So assuming bad RG6 cable I ran brand new single cable to the DP Dual LNBF with...

Also, I wrote incorrectly earlier. The 625 and the 301 both did recognize the DP33 switch. But the check switch test did not notice any satellites with the DP dual installed. Perhaps I should try hooking the DP dual lead in directly to one of the receivers?

OK, Mine is definitely a dual, what does that mean for me?

Please educate me on the DP Dual (which is what I have for an LNBF). Are you saying this will not work with a DPP33 to split into 3 receivers? If not, is it necessary to get a DP twin for that reason? The documentation with the DPP33 only mentioned a DP LNBF, not a specific one only. And...

Thanks. Yes it is a Dish Pro Dual (with the dp logo on it) with two outlets, but run to the switch on ports 1 and 2. I had considered using a DPP LNBF and skipping the switch, but I have 3 receivers total, so that would leave me 1 short as there are only 2 coaxes coming from the Dish to inside...

I upgraded to a 625 on one of my 3 receivers only to learn it needed 2 coaxes with my existing legacy generic lnb and switch. Not wanting to run another coax, I switched out to a DP Dual LNBF and a DPP33 switch. Had the 625 on Port 1 as recommended but Check Switch failed to view the switch...
