drv 522

[jweir]

Hello all,

I am new here and new to messing with satellite stuff. I have Dish Network for 8 + years. I just bought drv 522, so that for christmas we can get my daughter pocketdish. So.. I have a dish 500 and have 2 recievers in the house both are JVC one is up and down stairs at our house. I am keeping the one up stairs for now as JVC and Replacing the down Stairs one with drv 522 I have a sepreator for the drv 522 so I can use the one satellite line and have it go to both satellite inputs on drv 522.

Problem I am having is that when I try PIP or Record any more tasking then just watching a single channel . I get an error 002 lost of signal channel 110 satellite 119 transponer 6. The error number stays the same but different satellite and channel and tramsponer. Now if I press menu and 6, 1, 1 and change the tuner input from 2 to 1 and then press done and then exit all the way out I get the channel back. then if I swap or PIP I may get 015 and will acquire the satellite again and then I may get the error 002 and then go through the menu 6,1,1 and then just watching channel I am golden, but any thing else I am back in this loop..

Do I need new LNBs or what? I hoping that I can get this to work before christmas for pocketDish.. for my daughter..

Thanks

Jim

You need a Dish Pro Plus TWIN for the separator to work(DPP TWIN). And it is a Digital Video Recorder.

You can run a second wire from the Dish 500 to the 522 instead of getting the DPP twin. Then you take the separator out.

And how does he connect the JVC upstairs if both outputs are used for the 522?

boba: Thanks and opps.. sorry about the bad title name.. thanks again. thanks for all your help. I will go out and get a Dish Pro Plus TWIN.

Stargazer: One line is going to the JVC that is upstairs and I do not want to mess with that one.

I've picked up new DPP Twins on Ebay for $25 with shipping do some careful shopping.

OK, I assumed the 522 was replacing the JVC since it has two tuners. If you can get a DPP twin for $25 then grab it, as long as the S&H is not too high.

The 522 will work with the pocket dish?
