    New Cables Won't Work

    The "cable guy" was from Dish. He installed the "splitter looking thing" in the box. That device is a Holland Electronics DPD-2. I looked it up, and it is a satellite/TV diplexer rated up to 2150 MHz. It's here: Holland Electronics - Satellite / TV Diplexer - Model DPD2 Holland Electronics...

    New Cables Won't Work

    New Cables Won't Work

    I'm at my wits end on this one. I am simply replacing a current cable run to my VIP722. It starts in my central box and runs directly to a wall jack and then to the 722. I am simply unhooking the current run (wall jack in the wrong place) and hooking up the new cable to a new jack. I have...
