I'm helping someone change receivers and ran into a problem.
They had a legacy dish with a Dish Twin (not pro) running to a legacy 301 receiver. I believe that it is a twin legacy because there is only one cable an no switch coming from the Dish. There are no "pro" markings. It worked fine with one coax to the 301
They are swapping the 301 for a new 211.
I activated the new receiver on a working dish and then tried to hook it up to this old dish. It can't find any satellites and the receiver claims a switch error.
I've done multiple check switches, power plug reboots, and front panel reboots. I also disconnected the coax, ran a checkswitch, reconnected the coax, ran another checkswitch. Still no luck.
Where have I gone wrong?
