p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; } I want to move a VIP 211K from a location with a 1000.2 Dish to a location with three single LNBs (three single circular dishes). The three LNBs are connected to a switch matching the same ports as the 1000.2 dish. But now the receiver only recognizes port 1. The other ports were verified operational with a different receiver. How can I get the VIP 211K to recognize all ports?

Did you clear the memory before hooking it up? IOW chk switch w/o anything hooked up to it. Then run your ck switch after it is hooked up to switch.
I did clear memory (with no COAX attached). Then re-connected switch and re-checked switch. Only Port 1 is found. Maybe a different switch is required?
What lnb's are you using I assume regular, if so, you may want to consider using dishpro lnb's and a dp34 switch, you will find your receiver recognizing a setup like that, more than that with regular circular lnbs and a diseqc switch.
So to save on the cost of a new dish and the frustration and time installing, could I simply get a DP34 to connect the receiver to the dishes.
depends on what type of LNB's they are. If they are DishPro then yes the DP34 will work
If they are Legacy (no DIshPro logo) a SW31 (yes a SW31) will work. Check Ebay. I have 3 Legacy LNB's (old Directv LNB's from the single eye setups) and a SW31 on my 211k working just fine
