Brand new 921 on my old Dish 500 twin antenna??

[0db]

I'm just trying to figure this out - from everything I've read it should work, I've got an old dish that I used about 18 months ago on my PVR501, then switched to DTV for the dual-tuner Tivo. Recently I decided to get a 921 and check out Dish HD, so I figured I could use my old antenna, and use the existing twin-RG6 run through my attic direct to the 921. There's no switch or anything else but a grounding block in the line, but when I run the switch check, it reports nothing connected.

Any suggestions? Do I need a new antenna? I don't want to wait for these losers to get an installer out to do something I should be able to handle myself!

Do you have a signal?? You have to have signal(aimed) before it will detect a switch.
