722K Receiver

[Jim1]

I have a 722K receiver and want to take it along when we travel, I am trying to use a 500 dish with this. When I hook it up I can get a strong signal on 119 but when it starts to download, it comes back and says lost signal, does this every time. I am using a pro plus LNB which has 2 wires, I have hooked up both wires to a separator switch which takes only one wire to my receiver, or do I need to hook both wires up to receiver or can just one work either with the separator switch or not. Dont know what the problem could be, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks, Jim

if you have a 722k, chances are you have 1k.2 or 1k.4 dish at home. have you ran a check switch since connecting to the 500 dish?

Yes I tried the check switch and still no luck.

Use one cable from the LNB to the separator, then two cables to the inputs.

Like this, but with only one receiver.

what does your check switch matrix bring up? you should have 119 in box 1 and 110 in box 2 for both tuners. One more question and please don't take this the wrong way but are you absolutely positive you have a dish pro plus twin and not a dish pro twin? major difference but if it is just a dish pro twin then run both cables to the 722k and take out the separator.
