Anyone want a free 921? I would be willing to give them BOTH away...... Ok, maybe not.
We are on our 2nd 921. The first one refused to see anything plugged into sat input 1. Moved a 322 to its spot, worked fine. Dorked with Dish and finally got them to RA it. New one arrives with same issue. After NUMEROUS calls and several techs later, it seems we are installing it wrong. We were not doing the 119 dual input for sw downloads. Ok, so we climb up and pull a pair of RG6 cables for each 119 and 110, plugged the 119 into both inputs, wollah, software download 45 minutes later. Plug the sat 119, 110, and 105 (locals) back into the inputs of the DP34 switch and do a check switch. The lovely 921 pukes and says no input on input 1. Ok, swap inputs on the back of the 921 (cable 1 is now into input 2 and vice versa). Check switch and same thing happens, input 1 is dead. We have pulled the inputs, done a check switch, unplugged 921, plugged back in and check switch again, then installed cables, and ran check switch one more time and wollah, NOTHING still.
Ok, is this a 2nd bad unit or did we miss something here? Just for notes the 521 still works fine the whole time.
Please enlighten me before these 921s meet the wall at a high rate of speed.
Additional info: We are using a superdish with a DP34 switch with locals on 105. We have tried this at two locations as well (on site with customer and here at the shop)
