Dual tuner receiver issue

[Wildfordchild]

I have a dish network 722 receiver. I am confused as to why I get such a huge difference in the signal strength on tuner 1 and tuner 2. Can you explain?

If all of your cables are tightened down, then it sounds like your separator may be going bad.

Yeah; that is the most likely. I never observed that on my 722. But I did see both my 612's go deaf in just one of their tuners. At least, that is what it behaved like. I had both replaced and the newer ones were golden until Dish captured and recycled them upon my upgrade to an H3.

I'm kind of the opposite of that. I have never had that happen to a 612. However, my sister's 722k did start to have the problem with one tuner, just like the OP. I replaced the separator, and everything was back to working just fine after that.
