How to disable Tuner 2 on Dish 625?

I just replaced my DP301 with a Dish 625 DVR. However I really dont have any use of the dual tuner. I just got this receiver from my mom as she didnt need it anymore.

Now the problem is when I wire the coax to just Tuner 1 it works fine, but anytime I turn the receiver off and back on, it starts searching for satellite signal on tuner 2. Any way to just disable this completely?

Only way for me to get back to watching is go back to Point Satellite and change the Tuner 2 to Tuner 1 on the point dish screen. Gets quite annoying.

I know on DirecTV (which I also have) it disables them if it doesnt find signal on that tuner automatically.

If there is no way to disable this, then any workaround to keep it from trying to look for signal on tuner 2 everytime the receiver is turned off and back on?

So all I have to do is use a special 1 into 2 splitters that are meant for satellites?

BTW I actually got on a ladder and got up near the sucker and this model LNB is: BS1B1UP001M. I remember when I put it on there was two coax connections on it (even though its a single LNB) and I only ran just one wire to it. So am I to assume this LNB is usable with a special satellite splitter?

I ask because I seem to be getting conflicting information on this LNB. The splitter (i think you are referring to) is the Dish 123254 but its saying has to be used with a DPP Dual LNB. I definitely dont have that.

Some say I need this newer model Single LNBF where its just a single coax connection.

You can use that LNB with your setup as mentioned above. Either use the splitter or just run another cable from the LNB to the 625 receiver. Since you only have one single satellite location, running another cable to the 625 receiver will work.

Got it, so I guess I can just get a hold of one of these splitter/separator Dish part 123254 like this one (DISH Network Dish Pro Plus DPP Separator (ES148534) - DISH Network - 123254 - - DISHPro Plus DPP44 DP44DPP 44 seperator seperater separater DPP DP sep DPP-44 Dish pro plus dish pro adaptor dish pro adapter) and call it a day?

Just wanted to make sure cause all the talk about these splitter/separators keep mention you must be using a DPP Twin LNB, but searching this forum it seems to mention that if you are running a single LNB just to look at one Satellite you can actually use these special splitters to run two feeds to the dual tuner receiver via a single cable.

Cause running another cable is not happening without somem major rework and more drilling, which I prefer not to since we already got 5 coaxials coming from outside in (blame DTV for taking up 4 of the 5).

Single mode and swap button.
Or
Something like this RMD: 013-0772 2-Way 5~2150MHz All-Port Power Pass TV/CATV/Satellite Splitter

Separator does need Dish pro plus lnb as it separates frequency ranges.

Just to repeat or clarify what others are saying, do NOT use the Dish separator. That requires a DishPro Plus LNB/switch which you do not have. What you do have is DishPro dual LNB, which is actually all you need. On DishPro LNBs, both polarizations are present (bandstacked) on the one cable. Since you only want one bird, then all you need to do is split that coax with a power-passing splitter such as the link Drdeceased gave above. Using the separator instead would result in even transponders going to one tuner and odd going to the other.

All DMA's now Western Arc

I know HipKat said that they were working on conversions but we got the official news yesterday right from Dish that starting next month all DMA's will be on the western arc, and all customers will be assigned to that. That's gonna mean a lot of customers around here aren't gonna get Dish unless there are exceptions. Too many mountains and trees.

Even if you are broadcasting old SD-only shows, I would think advertisers would still want their commercials to look good.

Advertisers on SD channels are probably Far and Few, very hard to find, they have very few viewers to watch them.

I watch mostly SD channels (H&I, Start and ION, etc.). There are plenty of advertisers, this time of the year it is mostly Medicare Advantage plans, auto extended warranties and the occasional walk-in-tub. They know who is watching.

Because he didn't have a fleet of reusable rockets. Starlink works because SpaceX is able to launch hundreds (thousands?) of their Starlink satellites for what a single geostationary Internet satellite costs to build and launch on a disposable launcher.

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....

Also watched part 2 about a week or so ago after rewatching part 1. It's not as faithful to the book as I was hoping for. Part 1 stayed fairly faithful to the novel, but part 2 took some liberties that I felt were rather excessively non-novel. It looks like a prequel series will happen before part 3. My issue is: there's no prequel that was written as a novel, so what will it be pulled from? Or will it just be "based loosely" on the novel?

There is a bunch of other Dune written by Kevin J Anderson and Brian Herbert (Franks son). I think the series in production is taken from one of their books about the Bene Gesserit.

Correct. I've read all of them (yes, it took awhile, better part of a year, in my spare time). And they can't really consider or classify a series about the Bene Gesserit as a prequel. Sure, I suppose they can call it that, if they want to, because it begins before the time of Paul Atredies, but it's still a stretch. It's a Dune-related novel, not a prequel as we generally think of prequels...

Well, it looks good! I just hope they stayed close to the trilogy, but it doesn't look like it.
