Trouble using DP Plus Seperator + 722

Hey all,

I am having trouble using a DP Plus Separator on my VIP 722.

I have a Dish 1000 hooked up to a Dish Pro Videopath Multi-Dish Switch Model DP34

The Switch has 4 satellite outs.
#1 is going to the main room w/ 722
#2 is going to a bedroom w/ HD receiver
#3 & 4 are going to a master bedroom (used to have the 722)

The 722 works fine when using 2 lines direct from the switch but I am trying to hook up the 722 in a new room far away and wanted to just use the Separator and the 1 line going into that room.

When I connect the line directly to the Sat 1 port the TV works fine but the DVR can't record and watch and the same time. Using the Separator I don't seem to be getting any connections.....am I doing something wrong or missing something?

I thought that a DPP seperator must be connected to a DPP LNB or a DPP44? I was under the impression that it had to have at least 2 other DPP pieces. One being the DPP receiver and the DPP LNB?

ok..
a seperator is DPP only equipment.
That means a dpp LNB must be used. In the case of the necessity of a switch, the ONLY switch that can be used with a DPP seperator IS the DPP44.
DP LNb-------> DPP44-------> one cable to DP Seperator
DPP Twin (or 1000.4/1000.2) LNB -----------> one cable to DP seperator....That's that.

Hey thanks for all the replies....so right now my only real option is changing the switch? If I read correctly.

Do you know if I called Dish would they make the swap for me? At what cost?

Just wanted to update.

I gotta give Dish another 2 thumbs up for service. The sent me out a rep free of charge cause I have been with them for awhile to hook up with DVR in my living room since I only have 1 cable there and a DP34 switch which doesn't allow for a separator.

They came out I explained I just wanted to run another cable to that room then because they told me the cost of a new switch would be a little much, but instead the technician decided it was simply easier to install the DP33 and use a separator in the room. Thats what they did and I am good to go now :)

Thanks Dish...picture is still great and now I can properly record shows.

Song Name Game Part 3!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!

So let the game continue!

The last song was added by Bobby who posted...

One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters

CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!

Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game

Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.

Example:

Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow

Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio

Another example:

Ride the Lightning -- Metallica

Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne


Get it?


An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Finished season 3 last night. Still one of my favorite shows.

Anyone else wonder if there might be something else going on with Callum? Seems to me he has too much access to Russian intelligence.

Hopper 3 with Hopper plus internet connection problems

Over the past few weeks, I have had problems connecting to streaming services (Netflix, HBO et al). When I go to the TV's native Channels, I have no problem. The Dish internet troubleshooter shows I have a good internet connection. I'm wondering whether it's an issue with my internet provider or a problem with the Dish software on the Hopper Plus. Anyone else seeing this?

I have a DISH Hopper 3 (Software H713) with Hopper Plus (Software P15403). I have not tried streaming services but I primarily watch TVB Jadeworld international package which is only available by streaming and when I have an issue, I usually have to go to a non-streaming satellite channel first before the streaming channels will work again. What software versions do you have and what is the error message if any are showing on your screen? or is that Dish downloading logo just stuck and never finishes?

I'm on H713 on the Hopper and P15403 on the Hopper Plus. It shows internet connection issues and doesn't finish loading the various services. I see the "loading circle going around. Sometimes I get a message saying that the service is having trouble loading my content and to check the internet connection.

Did it ever work correctly before? Hard to say what the problem is. Usually for streaming, it will show the Dish logo with lines sweeping down to show downloading, never seen the circle issue. Did you try a manual reboot, red button reset, power cord unplug/replug to see if it makes a difference.

Buy a roku and dump the hopper plus you'll be better off. If you have a smart tv you don't need either one. No hopper plus here and no issues!!!
