Hi Guys, im new to the forums.
little bit of a issue geting this Dish 322 Receiver too work correctly. I'll try and do my best to describe what's going on..
about a week ago my dad switched us over to Dish network. The setup in my room is weird because i use a TV Tuner card ( it's a Pinnacle PCTV HDPCI Card) my computer and dual screen so i can watch tv. the only time the installer could come was while i was working, so my dad told them to install the second reciever in my moms room and they'll just do the extender thing into mine. so the install guy put TV1 On channel 3 and TV2 on channel 60.
what dad wanted to do was just switch the reciever from mom's old room too my room and not tell the install guy. im not sure if they'll charge for switching rooms or not.
thankfuly i got home during the install while the guy was here but he was already installing it in my moms room so their wasnt really much i could do and dad didnt want me to say anything. when he finished everything he set the second tv on the reciever to channel 60, got it too work once while he was here.. restarded my computer. and now nothing works at all. i dont even get a signal from channel 60 anymore when i do a scan.
So i figgured what the hell and i'll just switch the reciever from my mom's room to my room. atleast i got channel 3 to come up and the reciever setup to display. but when i plug it in my room, the reciever cant aquire a signal. i let it sit their for about an hour while it went through 20 diffrent transponder's trying to get a signal.. but nothing.
I dont want to call the install guy again cause dad said they'd charge us for him coming out here again, and maybe charge again for changing what room the reciever is in. so if anyone has any idea what's going on i'd be greatly appreciated.
i think the reciever/smartcard is detecting the room change and is not aquiring the signal.. i just dont know how to fix it.
thanks in advanced if anyone can help me.
