I'm almost embarassed... (mystery solved!) Well, I guess it's good that I discovered my own lunacy. During my DP311 upgrade, I also installed grounding blocks outside the house (where the cables enter). For the 61.5 dish, I somehow ended up with a 4-foot piece of non-RG6 cable running from...

Well, it's me again. I FINALLY had this setup working with my DP301 receivers, but now that I've replaced those (lightning zapped 'em) with two DP311 receivers, I can't get it working. I even replaced my DP34 (with a used one from eBay) thinking that it might be the issue, but I get the same...

harlanba: Well, in this particular case, it HAD to be the coax, because I had unplugged the TV (AC) before the storm started! Having said that, I *do* already have all home entertainment pieces plugged into a high-end UPS/Surge box. But I would hesitate to make the statement "it's [grounding...

Thanks for the info, Van... If I can *safely* run the 2 coax cables thru the crawlspace (and ground them once they exit the house on the other end), then I really don't need the grounding rod, so that takes care of that situation. Is it acceptable to attach all 4 of these grounds (3 dish...

(I had originally posted this question at the end of the LONG thread "Okay to not ground coax feed from dish...", but decided to move to a new thread instead -- I posted a follow-up to that effect in the other thread. Sorry for the confusion!) Sad to report that my two DP301s were apparently...

Ignore my last post -- I'll move to a new thread... Please ignore my previous post. I'm afraid that it is "lost" at the end of this long (old) thread, so I shall create a new thread instead. Thanks. Kevin T.

While we're on the subject of grounding... Sad to report that my two DP301s were apparently "zapped" a couple of days ago by a severe electrical storm. The receivers power on, menus look okay, etc., but neither sees the satellites now -- AND Check Switch on both receivers now reports "no...

It Works! D-Dan -- you da' man! I followed your steps, and it now works like a charm! I think I must have tried every combination except that one. Hope this helps someone else down the road! Thanks again for everyone's help! Kevin

mp3audio: Yes, I have run check switch. I've disconnected and run it (which should clear the "matrix" from what I've read) and then reconnected and run it (both with and without the 110/119 connected to switch). dirtydan: I have 2 DP301 receivers. I'll try your "steps" and see how it...

Well, I thought the same thing originally. So I swapped the DP Twin on the Sky Angel Dish (61.5) with the one on the Dish Network pkg (110/119). Same issue. Dish Network pkg/dish still works just fine with other Twin. Does it matter what order they're connected to the DP34? In other...

Hello, I have TWO (2) Dish 500 dishes -- each with the DishPro Twin LNBs. I originally had only Sky Angel (61.5) with one dish, and simply connected the two cables from the dish to my two receivers. That worked fine. Then I added the basic Dish Network service (and bought another dish -- I...

Good News! Well, it turned out to be a combination of things. First of all, I had not previously used Transponder 11 when "sighting" for 119 (nothing in the Dish docs that says that -- I found it on a newsgroup posting). Also, I was not looking LOWER than 110 (I was assuming that there was NO...

General Location: Nashville, TN Hardware: Dish 500 with DishPro TwinLNB (actually, I have TWO of these combos) Dish 301 receiver(s) Hello! I just recently built a house back in a clearing in the woods (completely surrounded by trees) and am NOT having much luck trying to "sight" my dish...
