Dish 625 not picking up 119w on check switch

[scoob8000]

Here's my setup at home:

Dish 1000.2 dish, output one goes to a seperator to a Dish 722. Output 2 goes to a seperator to a Dish 625.

We just setup a campsite where I installed a used Dish 500 with Plus/Pro Twin LNB. (Same exact setup I had before going with the HD package. I brought the 625 receiver over and hooked it up with the separator. When I do a check switch I get 110 OK, but where 119 normally would be it just says Conn.

If I go to the point dish screen I'm getting pretty good signal on both 110 and 119 (looking at transponder 11&12 as my searches suggested).

Obviously I'm missing a lot of channels with this setup, but what's confusing me is that I can see signal from 119 on the point dish screen.

What am I missing here? So far I've tried using both inputs/outputs on the receiver/lnb without the separator, and flopping the outputs as well.

your 110 should be in position 2, with that said you need to drop elevation 4 degrees and nudge back west a bit and be sure to run another check switch

I'll see if I can give that a shot tomorrow. I kept wondering if it was an aiming issue, but seeing signal on both in point dish is what threw me off..

Hi, to elaborate a bit - you are picking up the 110 satellite from the 119 side of the LNB. The 110 side is pointing at space and not getting a signal. Aluminium foil can be used to block one side of the LNB to make it a bit faster to setup while portable. Later, DC

Most likely, at Point Dish, 119 had a red bar and said "Wrong Sat." Just means it's picking up 110 when it's expecting 119.

Sorry to take so long to reply back, but low and behold that was the problem!

You guys are good!
