    625 Check Switch question

    Thanks. I just went and replaced all of the wiring with factory terminated RG6 rated for 2300Mhz, advertised as "for digital satellite installations", and put barrel connectors in place of the wall plate and ground block. Tweaked the dish a little, and have signal strength 100 for 110, and 80...

    625 Check Switch question

    Aye, the download sits at Acquiring Satellite. I saw in the manual reference to trouble if you 'only get odd transponders', but I'm actually only getting even transponders signal strength for all odd transponders is dead at zero. I have the RG6 going from the receiver to a wall plate, then to...

    625 Check Switch question

    Thanks folks. Finally got a signal - I didn't realize just how touchy it was. I've been fiddling with it all night and have a decent (above 80) signal on both 110 and 119.

    625 Check Switch question

    Right, I'm just trying to make sure that this message is OK to see: "Warning 530: One of the satellite inputs or switches is not connected properly. Normal operation will be adversely affected" The problem is that signal strength is zero. I have the elevation and skew perfect according to...

    625 Check Switch question

    Thank you... One other thing, though - assuming that I'm actually not receiving a signal from the satellite, is it still normal to see that "Warning 530" message, or is there something else wrong here? The way the 530 message is worded sounds like there is a physical connection problem, not a...

    625 Check Switch question

    Hi guys, I have a new DVR-625 that I'm trying to set up with a DishPro Twin LNBF... In trying to isolate my problem, I'm trying to figure out the meaning of two things: 1) When the Check Switch test finishes, it displayes the message "Warning 530: One of the satellite inputs or switches...
