    Hopper Q&A and Install Tips

    Are the client ID's required for the Joey's to pair and see the hoppers? I'm not too clear on the purpose of the Client ID and how or where it comes from. Is the ID generated from the Duo or does the client ID get generated from dish and get pushed down to the Hopper? If it's pushed, I assume...

    Hopper Q&A and Install Tips

    In a 2 Hopper and 3 Joey setup, do both Hoppers need a Client ID? I have an installer here right now and the first hopper came up fine and received it's client ID. The second hopper will not get a client ID. No Joeys have been hooked up at this point. Everything looks good on the duonode...

    Need Help - 4 LNB lines, 1 OTA, and 1 RR, but only 5 available runs.

    The antenna is a Wineguard external. It was the antenna that Voom provided when I subscribed to their service a few years back. I got to keep the antenna when their service was cancelled and I moved over to Dish. If I get a new OTA antenna that does not require amplification, could I...

    Need Help - 4 LNB lines, 1 OTA, and 1 RR, but only 5 available runs.

    Wouldn't I have to get a power source outside to use the power inserter on the DPP44?

    Need Help - 4 LNB lines, 1 OTA, and 1 RR, but only 5 available runs.

    I have two dishes. One is used to get the 61.5 bird and the other dish pulls in 110, 118, and 119. I initially had problems getting a good signal on all 4 birds with the large single dish, so they added a second dish to pull in 61.5. When I run a check switch, I get the following device...

    Need Help - 4 LNB lines, 1 OTA, and 1 RR, but only 5 available runs.

    I have a couple diplexers and tried to diplex one of the Sat lines and the RR line together, but my modem would not sync. The Satellite worked fine, but the modem would not get a signal. I also tried to use the diplexer with the cable modem line and the OTA, but I hooked the OTA to the DC...

    Need Help - 4 LNB lines, 1 OTA, and 1 RR, but only 5 available runs.

    Okay, I have 5 runs of coax coming into my home and I do not have the capability to run another line. I currently have 4 LNB lines coming in from my two dishes (2nd dish is for 61.5) and the 5th is being used for my cable modem service. I have a nice OTA antenna that I want to run...

    Dish says I need a new dish to get my HD Locals? Something doesn't sound right!

    Ok...here's the update. The installer came this morning and put up a new Superdish. I now get 110,119,129, and 118 on the new Dish. My locals showed up after a few minutes, including the HD Locals. So far all of my HD Locals are showing up in SD 4:3 quality, but I assume that the...

    Dish says I need a new dish to get my HD Locals? Something doesn't sound right!

    110, 119, and 129 all show up when I run a switch test, so I assume 129 is coming through ok.

    Dish says I need a new dish to get my HD Locals? Something doesn't sound right!

    Same Here....I am without my standard def locals until my install in 2 weeks. Luckily I have an OTA antenna and can pick them up that way, but it still sucks. The tech said they had to remove them in order to add the new orbital to my account. Definitely a pain in the a$$ and it doesn't...

    Dish says I need a new dish to get my HD Locals? Something doesn't sound right!

    I currently have two 622 units and receive the full HD programming package. My neighbor got Direct TV the other day and told me he got his HD locals. I have been using an OTA antenna, so I haven't really followed up on the HD locals through Dish, but I started looking into it after hearing...

    Will a DP Plus Seperator work with a DP34?

    Ok...the installers just left, and here is the result: They replaced my DP34 with a DPP44 switch and did not have to replace any LNBs. The output from the DPP44 was run into a diplexer and the SAT line from the diplexer was fed to my TV location through a single coax run. The SAT out on the...

    Will a DP Plus Seperator work with a DP34?

    It think it's a dish 1000. I was thinking superdish at the time I posted, but the Dish 1000 is correct. Is there anyway to use a single coax line with my current equipment? Can I replace the DP34 with a DP44 and have things work, or will the DP44 not work with my Dish 1000 equipment? The...

    Will a DP Plus Seperator work with a DP34?

    I already have one VIP622 and I have a second 622 scheduled for install on tuesday. I have a super dish outside and all of the lines come into the house and terminate into a DP34 switch. I have two coax lines running into the room where my current 622 sits, but all of the other rooms have a...

    Need help with Quadshield Coax

    I just moved into my new home and all of the coax runs are apparently quad shield RG6. I am trying to add an F-Connector to one of the cables and I can't figure out exactly how I need to strip the cable and add the connector. I did buy some RG6-QS connectors, so that piece should be ok. When...

    Will any regular Diplexer work?

    Thanks for the info. The ratings you gave me match the diplexer specs that the installer gave me. I will try and find some more that meet those same specifications. As far as my configuration goes, I have 3 input lines coming from my Dish 1000 into my house, which terminate into a DP34. I...

    Will any regular Diplexer work?

    Can I used any standard diplexer to diplex my satellite feed and OTA feed going into my 622? I just moved into a new place and the installer gave me two diplexers to condense the "Sat2 In" and "TV2 Out" signals onto one cable. This works great, but I would like to get two additional diplexers...

    Will this Leviton 5x8 module work with Dish?

    Do you have any recommendations or links to Dish specific products that I can use to serve this same function. I basically need a video module to link all of my input signals coming in from my satellite and route them to the various receivers throughout the house. The module needs to fit in my...

    Will this Leviton 5x8 module work with Dish?

    I am building a new home and I will have a Leviton control panel. I am looking for video module to manage all of the incoming feeds and distribute them to my receivers throughout the home. I have a 622, 501, and one 301 receiver right now, and I will probably add a 211 after we get settled in...

    My install--Murphy's Law!

    My 622 was installed yesterday and I actually had the installer take down my existing Dish 1000 and replace it with 2 Dish 500's. My signal on 129 was terrible with the 1000 and the installer commented that several other 1000 owners had the same issues with low signals on 129. So, he installed...

    Please help me determine if I have an issue

    I am getting a new 622 on March 4th and I plan on having the installer take a look at a few things while he is here, but I wanted some opinions on whether or not my existing dish and signal strengths are functioning below expectations. I have been having a lot of issues with my existing voom...

    New 622 Arrived...can I install and Activate myself?

    My 811 is being replaced by the 622 and I have a 2 other recievers (311 and 501). I know the new 622 supports two TV's, but I was leaning towards keeping my 311 and 501 so that I could add service to my daughters playroom. That would result in 3 receivers and 4 TV's if everything stays in...
