    Switching from Dishplayer 7100 to 921 -- what switches?

    Hi there! Yes, the 921 is on my account now. I called Dish, and told the rep. I wanted to disable my 7100 and turn on a different receiver. She asked if it was new, and I told her that it was a used receiver. I gave her the R00 and S00 numbers, and they turned it on. I did a "factory reset"...

    Switching from Dishplayer 7100 to 921 -- what switches?

    Hi there! One more note -- is there any advantage to moving to DishPro hardware over legacy hardware? I don't intend to hook up more than one receiver to this dish.

    Switching from Dishplayer 7100 to 921 -- what switches?

    Hi there! This has been a good day. After eating supper I went out to the dish and took the LNBFs loose and looked. They each have two coax connections! :D So, I'll add more coax to hook up my second SW21, and run that to input 2. I'll connect the existing SW21 to input 1, and remove the...

    Switching from Dishplayer 7100 to 921 -- what switches?

    Hi there! Well, I jumped the gun a bit, but I still count it as a win. The switch check passed, but after playing with PIP a bit, I apparently confused it. It's not happy about Input 2. I'm going to take a good look at my LNBFs to see how many connections each has, but if I remember right...

    Switching from Dishplayer 7100 to 921 -- what switches?

    Hi there! I got my 921 hooked up today. The short answer is that I was successful in getting it working with my existing equipment. The longer story. I first hooked up my single cable from the SW21 to Input 1 on the 921. A switch check verified that it did find a signal on Input 1 and it...

    Switching from Dishplayer 7100 to 921 -- what switches?

    Hi there! Sorry about the confusion. The dish isn't in the most accessible place. I just went out there and took a good look at it. There are two LNBFs -- Dish p/n bs1h1up201m. They're mounted to a bracket that is labeled 119 and 110, and each has a single cable going from it to the SW21...

    Switching from Dishplayer 7100 to 921 -- what switches?

    Hi there! The HD thing doesn't bother me that much, because I don't have HD programming and I don't have an HD TV yet. I was shopping for a 721 when I found a good deal on this 921 and jumped on it. The not authorizing 921s due to the TiVo order is the part that I'm sweating right now. The...

    Switching from Dishplayer 7100 to 921 -- what switches?

    Hi there! I dug around a bit, and I found my extra SW21 (for whatever reason I remembered having two, but only one in service). So, given I have a Dish 500 dish and a legacy two-output LNB (one output per satellite), and I have two SW21 switches on-hand, how would I connect it to the dual...

    Switching from Dishplayer 7100 to 921 -- what switches?

    Hi there! I have had my Dishplayer 7100 since '99, and it's on its last legs. I recently acquired a Dish 921 and will be taking the 7100 out of service. I have a connection question, assuming Dish will activate it (considering the recent injunction -- it's used so maybe? Or maybe not since...
