I hooked up my new dpp44 switch on my dish 1000.2 system today. However, when I performed check switch on my vip 622, it only loacted 110 and 119, and not 129. Any suggestions on my next move?
What happens if you run a cable from the 1000.2 dish directly to the receiver? Do you get 129?
So you have 3 cables going from the dish to the switch, correct? Check the cable for 129 and make sure it's tight. Also make sure the stinger for the 129 cable is a little longer. The DPP44 switch likes the longer stingers.
Yes, three cables are connected from the dish to switch. I will double check all 3 stingers. What is easiest way to tell which wire goes to which satellite. Thanks for the quick help
You could also just test the cable for each of them by connecting one cable at a time to port 1 and running check switch. You should only see one satellite at a time but that way you'll know which cable is bad or needs a longer stinger.
You called it! It was a short stinger on the 129. Thanks again for the help!
One more question, my receiver that I have hooked up to the power inserter seems to be a little slow in switching channels and sometimes hangs up on certain channels.
Any ideas why it would be doing this?

Yes, he does. He has a DPP44 switch and while it works without a power inserter, it's not recommended. The receiver powering the switch is outputting more power than it should.
With the screen name that you have, I hope you are not an installer because the power inserter on a DPP44 is basically Dish Pro Class 101.
