1000.2, 622 & separator won't switch off 119

[Mark_AR]

Connecting a triple 1000.2 with a single coax to a separator to input 1 & 2 on 622. My checkswitch looks like this:

INPUT 1 2 3
SAT 119 X X
Trans OK X X
dev 1K.2 1K.2 1K.2
Status Recep verified
SW DPP1K.2 w/separator

I have a signal strength of 73 on TP 11 on 119.

I have no signal on 110 or 129

Even if I take the separator out and hook a cable directly to ports 1 & 2 (119/110) on the 1k.2 lnb all I can get is 119. If I unhook sat 1 input and just run port 2 to sat 2, I get wrong satellite 119 on the point dish screen(shouldn't it be 110 even if not aligned to sat signal? Even after redoing the check switch the results are the same.

I am at a loss. How can I check to see if the 1k.2 lnb is switching. Right now it seems to be stuck on 119 on both ports 1 & 2. (If that is even possible?)

Help. This was supposed to be leaving in my RV tuesday, but now postponed til I can fix it.

HELP!!

Here is the exact diagram. THe other I tried was taking out the separator and running direct port 1 to input 1, port 2 to input 2 with still only signal on 119. Can the 1000.2 lnb be tested any way? Time is ticking away, I need help.

Make sure sat 1 on the receiver is going to sat 1 in on the switch. The voltage to power the switch is on that port and anything you go through, much have power through on the connections you are using.

do you have the skew set right?

Now I am not sure what is going on. I just took a DP500 Quad and stuck it on the mast, ran single cables from port 1 & 2 of the quad to 1 & 2 of the 622 with no separator. Then ran a checkswitch and it said connection good, but reception error. It was freeking cold & dark out so I didn't take a lot of time to point it, but came up with no signal. If it warms up a little during the day, I might try aiming it again or try a DP34 with the 1000.2.

I just don't want to haul around a truckload of equipment just to watch my HD TV and this time crunch is killing me. I have maybe 1 more day before we leave. Fixed or not fixed. I may just have to find someone in Corpus Christi to resolve this when we get to our destination. *sigh*

DP34 incompatible with 1000.2. Check your Skew for the area you are in. If skew is off you will not get all the sats.

Typo - I meant DP44. I was going to try and bypass the internal switch in the 1000.2 just to see if it is my skew or a hosed lnb.
