No 119 on Tuner 2 on 625

[mike_ayu]

I just swapped out an old 501 with a 625.

I have a 500 sat and am using the single cable that went to the 501 through a separator into the 2 inputs on the 625.

Running a check switch shows ok on 110 and 119 on both tuner 1 and tuner 2.

When I check transponder inputs, on tuner 1 I can lock on to tranponders on both 110 and 119. On tuner 02, I can lock on 110, but on 119 I get a signal but it says Wrong Sat - 110. And then can't get any of those channels on tuner 2 (when I try to tune to one, it tries to search for satellites and locks up, have to go back to point dish menu)

The dish was working fine with the 501, and the 625 was working fine in my other house. Am I missing something?

thanks - Mike

Are you using DishProPlus lnb's? The Separator will not work with DishPro or Legacy, inly DPP.

Thanks - They are just labelled Digital LNBF - so I'm guessing those are not the DPPs. Is there a separator that works with the older ones, or do I need to upgrade my LNBs to DPP to support the dual tuner receiver?

If it is not marked, then it is Legacy. The separator will not work, you can run a second line from your switch or dish depending on what you have, you may need to get an sw switch (possibly an sw21) to run the second coax.

It looks like it's pretty easy to swap out the LNB for a DPP, I can keep to a single cable run for now, and then potentially add another dual tuner receiver down the road. I think I'll go that route....
