I have a vip 722K, At home I have a dish 1000. 3 dual lnbs hooked up to a dpp44 with power inverter. I use to have a vip622. At my cabin I have a 1000.2 and have tried to make it work for me but the 722 keeps looking for the dpp44 switch, it won't use the internal switch on the 1000.2. Any advise, 622 used to work fine. 1000.2 only see's one sat 119. Really only use it maybe twice a month for a few days but is nice to have thanks.:)
 
Yes

What is says is, only see's one sat. I believe it is 119, I think there may be a conflict. At home on the dpp44 it is 129 on port1, 119 on port 2, 110 on port 3. From what I have read a 1000.2 would read 110 119 129. I did ask if I wanted to change my setting but I said no. Maybe if I said yes and rescanned again it would find the sats and internal switch?
 
Thanks, I may try to make the sats in the same position at both locations, then run a check switch each time I go up or down.
 
run a check switch with no cable attached from the dish....that will clear out the matrix,,when it says "you have fewer sats" say YES

Then hook up cable and rerun check switch
 
it might be worth the effort to dupl;icate your home system at the cabin, to minimize messing around with switch tests.

if anyone close by has E remember dishcom might report your box isnt home....

dishcom isnt reliable but did fin a neighbors receiver before the power company split our street onto different transformers.
 
This subject started a interesting pub thread thats already 3 pages long.

Big brother can see what your doing...........

Hooking the box up to some surge protectors will help keep them from being detected but your idea of it happening on a large scale is very very low as in .5%

You seem to have been in that .5% so I wouldn't worry about scaring people that it will happen....very unlikely.

thats not the main point of the pub thread, go check it out..

although is it worth the risk to be on the audit nazi list?
 
Thanks again for info

Just to clear the box reporter thing up. Dish has a new policy that only one box need be connected to a phone line or internet. If so the phone charge is waived. This is because the boxes talk to each other thru the outlets. Just like the phone adapters that do the same. However the commutation only takes place in a home. Not a neighbor hood, or city. The man is not that good. Have a good day.:eek:
 
here is the secret, underground, 100% fail proof way to be completely immune to the audit department......DONT ANSWER THE PHONE WHEN THEY CALL ! please do not give this info to outsiders

no they dropped the phone line discount. and dischcomm can find neighbors mine did till the power company split the neighborhood onto many transformers.

plus you take your box to the cabin run switch test, this now sets a watchdog report in the box which the next time it talks to home reports all watchdogs, like temp, software crashes etc.

E can see every one of those ..........

big brother is watching
 
As far as I remember, dish didn't have a problem if you took your home receiver with you to your cabin and then took it back home with you. They have a problem, when you leave a receiver at your cabin and it is active, while other receivers are active at your home service address at the same time.
