This morning, only the very last program was recorded, the other 3 were ID as...

If you have a Dish Pro Plus LNB on your Satellite dish, You need a Dish Pro plus Seperator.

Whats your setup?

What satellite dish do you have?

 

[tucker jones]

The dish is a Turbo HD ... the lnb is a "Dish Pro Plus"...

I am using the two lnb ports on the left as you look at the dish from the rear...

User 2 is a software encoded message for all DuoReceivers by Dish.

It means 1 of your tuners = signal loss. Check signal on both tuners. swap cables (if direct connection) if problem follows cable = cable if problem stays on tuner = tuner.

Could it be only one tuner is active, and I haven't turned the other tuner on..??
What is a quick way to verify that both tuners are working...??

"Turbo HD" is on a lot of dishes. Is it a 500, superdish (2 flavors exist), 1000.2, or 1000.4? Safe bet it's not a 300.

It doesn't matter, He said he has a Dish Pro Plus LNB, That means its single wire use, and he needs to Put the Dish Pro Plus seperator on the end of 1 incoming wire. Then run the 2 little wires to the receiver.

Not necessary, you can use two wires to the LNB if you want, you do not need to use a single wire and separator if you don't want to.

Thats not conflicting? I could see with a Dish Pro LNB,, But a Pro Plus?

OK ... went to the screens that show Sat Input 1 & 2
119-110-129- ll are OK
They all are ... 1K.2
and ... DPP 1K.2 w/seperator..
Then went to the "Dish Pointing screen"
Tuner #1 was 100 % for the three sats..but NOTHING on Tuner 2

Can this be the problem..

Reverse the short wires from separator to tuner. If same tuner still no signal maybe bad tuner in box.
If opposite tuner shows no signal could be bad separator or short wire from separator. You may also want to try connecting the dish directly to tuner 2 bypassing the separator to see if you get any signal at all from tuner 2.

OK ... Last night it missed three out of 4 programs...

I just re-checked the signal on tuner 1 and 2
on 110-119-129..both tuner 1 and 2 show GREEN signals....
Idea's...???
