    Is This Too Much Sat to Receiver Distance?

    Is This Too Much Sat to Receiver Distance?

    220 ft with Dish Pro will work. You're signal will drop about 40% from the LNB to the receiver, but work it will.

    How do I switch signals & Location of box

    It could be very easy. The lines going to the TV2 rooms - are the ran directly from the receivers to the rooms are did the installer use diplexers? If there is only 1 line run to the receiver from outside then diplexers where used and the swapping of everything will be easy. If he ran lines...

    722 Install 2 tvs existing coax

    There's 17db coming from the TV2 home distribution. A diplexar (working correctly) absorbes 2 db. Good quality rg6 3.0g swept tested looses ~4-5 db per 100 ft. Do the math and at the end of run (at your TV2) if your below below 0 db then you know there's too much in the line. If everything...

    622 in recovery mode

    Recovery mode is evil. I'm 98% sure you're going to need a replacement receiver. I've never had one come out of boot recovery. Did it get unplugged while downloading software?

    Scheduled recordings lost due to "No signal" OR funny tech story

    "This is happening all over the place in our local area. We have no idea what is going on". Sure do wish Dish had told me that over the phone instead of sending a tech & charging me money to do nothing but say that :mad: I called Dish support after the tech visit & got an American (thank you...

    Scheduled recordings lost due to "No signal" OR funny tech story

    Stray voltage or high EMF will cause the electrons that are wrapping around the center conductor to unalign causing all sorts of problems. You're definately not crazy. I've seen it in the field. It doesn't happen often, but it has caused problems.

    Motorhome Satellite - Need Help

    The 211 and 211k are very similiar; that is, all if the same except the 211k comes with new 21.0 learning remotes and internally has a more efficient cooling mechanism. The 222k has the new learning remotes and is capable of having an OTA module installed so that the number 2 TV can watch the...

    vip 612 install

    There is such a thing as "sun fade," but how it effects you depends on where you live. There's also - as mentioned earlier - that expanding and contracting of the cable with the temperature differential. Where do you live?

    Eastern Arc Dish Info & Install Guide

    The only example I've run into in the past month with a Western to Eastern Arc conversion was a Dish Mover that was declared to have no LOS of the Western Arc by 2 technicians and then myself (FSM). Because the customer already had Vip receivers and local programming wasn't available in the...

    Scheduled recordings lost due to "No signal" OR funny tech story

    As crazy is this sounds, I come across similiar problems with intermitten signal loss that's not caused by the LNB, cable/connections, or receiver. If either of the TV's that you're hooked to are backfeeding any kind of voltage to the receiver it will cause intermitten signal loss. It's famous...

    Add 129

    If there's a 1000.2 Dish already installed or a wing dish for the 61.5 and you're not receiving your HD programming, then the technician might have not aligned the dish properly. Check your Dish: If it's a 500, then call E* and have them build you a WO to add a HD orbital. If you already have...

    LNB Type

    You can run a DP 311 receiver and a DP 322 Receiver from 3 types of Dish Pro Plus LNBs: a DPP Twin, DPP 1000.2, or a DPP 1000.4 LNB. That is, run 1 line from the DPP Twin/Triple LNB to the 311 and run the second line from the DPP Twin/Triple LNB to the 322 (with a seperator). But, if you...
