    VIP722 home distribution 2nd tuner no signal to tv

    I made a diagram of my wiring before I changed anything. As soon as my issue started with no signal to TV2, I removed the antenna and reconnected directly to the receiver. Everything is the same as it was installed and has been since I started this thread. I only made one change and TV2 went...

    VIP722 home distribution 2nd tuner no signal to tv

    Yep, did the scan. Both with cable and air. I did not disconnect the home distribution/Dish in and outs until I had the issue with the TV2 signal. All I did initially was disconnect the antenna and run a coax from my receiver to the basement and then connect the antenna to it. Went to turn...

    VIP722 home distribution 2nd tuner no signal to tv

    Maryb, Yes, I went through this exercise with a Dish online tech last night. I went through it again this afternoon after trying to swap out the diplexers. Shouldn't TV2 work if I would just have a coax that would route directly from the home distribution connection to TV2 with out passing...

    VIP722 home distribution 2nd tuner no signal to tv

    I reviewed my wiring and everything was exactly as it was installed 5 years ago. I even tried swapping in a new diplexer at both locations to see if one was bad. I did not have two to try and see if both were bad. I do have a tech scheduled to come take a look next saturday.

    VIP722 home distribution 2nd tuner no signal to tv

    I tried each of these separate from each other. My original task was to extend my UHF range on TV2 cause I did not like having to point my remote at a mirror and have it work some of the time. I only tried to remove the diplexer after having TV2 signal not work at all.

    VIP722 home distribution 2nd tuner no signal to tv

    I am having an issue with my 2nd TV not getting a signal from my VIP722. Problem started when I decided to try and add a coax between my remote antenna to extend the range. I also disconnected the coax from TV2 to a deplexer to shorten that cable run. The 722 2nd tuner is still functioning...

    I think L446 Broke my OTA Audio

    I am having the Audio go out on my OTA channels, sometimes it fixes the problem if I just turn the VIP722 power off and back on again, other times I have to reset the box all together. This only fixes some of the channels though. Just a good thing that this fixes the ones I am usually wanting...
