Another pink screen of death, I will have them replace the hopper. Also the setup we have currently to test is the 3 main satellite lines going into a dp44 switch, and then into 2 single nodes...essentially tricking the system like it has 2 dishes. This setup has been working flawlessly for the...

No they have not, but we are now getting the pink/purple screen so I will have them replace it.

We are pretty sure its the receiver sending current through the coax. We switched outlets and it seemed to stop. Any other way to test this? I know the house is wired to the outlets with only 2 wire (positive and negative, no ground). This is why we switched to a new part of the house where...

Latest report: We found out there was current coming through one of the connections coming into the duo node. We switched outlets on a different circuit in the house and that connections was dead....still no change. We could not get hoppers to see all 3 satellites through the duonode. To test...

Alright, The techs and I got this working yesterday evening. All TV's were working with HD and local channels. This morning I turned on the TV and I could not view any of the local channels and some of the non-local channels. Only some of the movie channels were showing. I tried a check switch...

Thats probably what we will have to do. Currently we cannot ground the node where it is located.

Seems like the node was never grounded in the first place. The wire that is attached to the RG6 is attached but nothing to ground anything.

Where should the ground be going? Up towards the dish (which doesn't seem like a ground to me if its connected to the dish) or somewhere else?

Yes, he said he checked all three lines and verified the dish hit all 3 satellites (110, 119, 129).

We currently have a single node hooked up. I will suggest this Monday evening when they come back. So lift the ground to get things going 100% and then re-attach it? I should mention the ground looks to be going up towards the dish...

I will change now :) EDIT: Updated in original post. Attached here for reference.

Pictures of Taps 1 and 2.

Yep! Thats how the sticker is on our node (H,C,C,H). Once we re-wire and double check the connections at the LNB, whats the next step if it doesn't work?

I will keep that in mind when we have them out next, unfortunately it wont be until next week because we are busy. I will make them run all new wire and make sure hoppers are to the host ports with no splitters. Therefore we should only need one splitter for the Joey's on the same side of the...

So the hoppers need to be directly connected to host connections?

Diagram!!

Im pretty sure he checked the LNB connections on the dish. Ill be ticked if they didn't do a complete dish to node to hoppers walk through. Also, cabling is new from dish to node. Almost done with the diagram.

I don't remember any speak about those. Several times. I am working in Visio now for a diagram.

Any good program to make a wiring schematic? How does this coincide with perfect signal from the dish?

I will draw up a wiring diagram when i get home. As far as switches between the dish and node, no. The dish is wired straight into the node. Will get more details soon.

Hello! First post here, excited to learn the world of satellites. We have decided to go to the Hopper system with 2 Hoppers and 3 Joeys. Great, right? Not so fast! We have had two, 4.5 hour onsite visits to try and get this working. First onsite was a single senior tech; second onsite was a...
