Upgraded to dish 1000.2, can't get 522 rcvr back up

[OK Bob]

A construction contractor accidently destroyed my superdish antenna. It had been retrofitted to pick up the 110, 119 and 129 satellites thru a dp 34 switch connected to a 522 receiver. I replaced the antenna with a 1000.2 dish and 1000.2 LNBF.
Now, one of 522 tuners picks up the 129 channels and the other tuner receives the 119 channels. Can this receiver recognize that the dp34 switch is no longer in use? A switchcheck says i am not receiving as many channels(satellites) as previously. Can the 1000.2 LNBF not be switching properly?

did you install a seperator?how many cables going to 522 from dish?

 

[OK Bob]

two coaxial lines in use ....no seperator

 

[stone phillips420]

seperators only work with dish pro plus switches ie dpp33 or dpp44.
a dp34 dish pro 34 switch will not work with seperators


the 522 isnt working because there is a pro plus switch built into the lnb so run wire from dish to 522 with seperator, no need for dp34

hey stone this is from op "Can this receiver recognize that the dp34 switch is no longer in use? A switchcheck says i am not receiving as many channels(satellites) as previously. Can the 1000.2 LNBF not be switching properly?"

forget the dp34 switch and go wire from 1000.2 into seperator into 522

sounded to me like he has it going 1000.2 into dp34 to 522
remove dp34 and add seperator right before hooking to 522

 

[OK Bob]

dp 34 is not in use, neither is a separator being used. Two coax lines between 522 receiver and the 1000.2 LNBF is how it is setup.

okay go 1 line from 1000.2 to seperator to 522 and post back what checkswitch says
doesnt hurt to try im pretty sure the above is how its supposed to be with 1000.2 and dual tuners

 

[OK Bob]

No seperator on-hand to test, but surely the use of the seperator is an optional arrangement. Disconnecting either coax line does not restore the remaining connected tuner to full use.

id look around for splitter if i were you, i thought all dual tuners from dish came with seperators, mine did

Ok bob
take a look at this .pdf need adoe acrobat reaader to see, it free

http://www.prosatellitesupply.com/PDF_Files/Installation_Guide_1000.2.pdf
take a look at pages 5-8

Looking at the install guide that was linked to, are the cables going to your 522 receiver the ones from the 119 and 129 ports?

 

[OK Bob]

Looking at the install guide that was linked to....
#2 Port(110) is actually delivering the satellite channels from the 119 satellite
#1 Port(119) is delivering the channels from the 129 satellite.....and
the #3 Port(129) which you might guess had the channels from satellite 110, actually doesn't have anything on it.

oh ok that clears things up a bit! your dish needs to be repointed,you need to raise your elevation up 4 and swing back to the east a bit

 

[OK Bob]

Regardless of dish pointing....shouldn't these switch outlets have the same output.

 

[Laddyboy]

Both should be the same. Do you have uninterrupted cable runs from the LNB ports to the receiver. There cannot be any splitters or switches along the way. For some reason the switch built into the 1000.2 LNB doesn't seem to be working. Did the LNB assembly come with the antenna (dish)? Try disconnecting the cables at the receiver and running a Check Switch to clear the matrix. Reconnect the cables and run another Check Switch test. Are the two matrices still different?
