Single Mode or Dual Mode still yields the same channel

[happy hopping]

I unplug the Dish VIP 222 receiver for about 1 day due to a paint job. When I re-connect, whether I'm at Single TV mode or 2 different channel (Dual Mode) mode, I only get the SAME channel.

Supposedly at Dual mode, you can view 1 channel at TV1 and record a different channel at TV2. Somehow, something must went wrong when the power plug is disconnected for 1 day.

Please help

You can't just hit the button on the front of the box to put it back in dual mode again? That is how the old 722k worked.

Make sure your tv2 is on the right channel. 60 or 73

If your TV1 is connected with yellow/white and red wires be sure they're plugged into the TV#1 output and not TV#2 on the back of the receiver. We had a customer who had the same problem and that's what we found. Good luck.

Yep. Most of the problems with the dual tuner receivers are that either the RCA cables at TV1 are connected to the TV2 output, or TV2 is on ch 62 or 75 (when TV2 is supposed to be on 60 or 73). Also, for some TV2 televisions, it will pick up the TV2 signal on ch 116, and the TV1 signal on ch 118 (sort of harmonics of air channels 60 and 62)

I fixed it. I wired the cables from the 222 to my DVD receiver incorrectly. thanks for all the help

I got computer virus, can't use the PC until now, sorry for the late reply

You might want to check your user settings on the board again...I could be wrong, but I think I remember seeing that Scott turned the signatures back on for everyone when he rolled out the new board software!

Well, ya know...it appears you are right. I was able to save a signature now. Thank you.
