    A Strange Problem with my Dish 500 system

    Hey vegassatellite. You really seem to actually know your stuff. Thanks for the reply that was actually helpful. Ok. So where exactly can I get this "DP Adapter". I did a quick search for it and couldn't find much. So yea... some links would be great. Thank you.

    A Strange Problem with my Dish 500 system

    Yea well. There's just one problem. I never got the DHPP when I signed up to Dish Network in 2001. So basically, I guess I'm just SOLed. I can still order a new receiver though right? And actually just pay for a whole new one? Cause it looks like thats my only option left. And if that can't...

    A Strange Problem with my Dish 500 system

    OMG! OK! YES! I FREAKIN KNOW YOU CAN"T USE A SPLITTER! YOU TOLD ME THAT ON YOUR FIRST DAMN POST! I GET IT! What I'm asking is, is there any way that I can use something else besides a receiver to provide voltage to the LNB. Because, as I said, my receiver has lost it's ability to provide voltage...

    A Strange Problem with my Dish 500 system

    A Strange Problem with my Dish 500 system

I've used the bedroom receiver for weeks now on a splitter. In fact, the thing is still working perfectly fine. Heck, it's even...

    A Strange Problem with my Dish 500 system

    Ok... well here's another thing. The bedroom receiver is the one I had moved the most frequently. I almost never had to move the one in the living room. But the bedroom one works perfectly. No problems what so ever. And if the solder point had become loose I don't think the living room receiver...

    A Strange Problem with my Dish 500 system

    Yea I did. For the living room receiver (which is the one that isn't working properly), if I have the receiver plugged into the single connection (with no splitter), it will always just result in a "No switch box detected". But if I have both the living room one and the bedroom one plugged into...

    A Strange Problem with my Dish 500 system

    This is long but please hear me out: Ok. So I have two Dish 500 systems that have been used in my household for about 4 years or so. One if used for a bedroom and one is used for the living room. Every now and then I like to move one of the receivers to my room so I can watch TV in my own room...
