difference in sat 1 and sat 2 on back of receiver?

[terrenecomm]

I just finished installing an HD receiver, i believe its the 722? at a commercial location, and i got it working fine with 110 119 and 129. i currentlly have my two cables plugged into what i believe is 119 and 129 on the LMB, which would be slots 2 and 3 if your looking from behind the dish. signals look good, but when the customer comes in the morning, it says its trying to find satellites, and goes nowhere. If he swaps the two inputs, it comes right up and is fine the entire day. when he returned the next day, it did the same thing, so he swapped them back, and it worked immediatly again. is there something i setup wrong for it not to be working properly, or is this some kind of hardware issue?

If it's like the 622, the two satellite inputs aren't for two different LNBs, they're for the two tuners. Each one should be seeing all of the LNBs via the appropriate switches.

Depending on the type lnb(es) you are using, if it is a Dish Pro Plus, one coax run from 129 to the 110/119 twin (combined lnb) then one line run to receiver and use a DPP Separator to feed both inputs, if Dish Pro, one line each from 110 and 119 (even if you are using a twin) and a third line from 129 to either a DP34 or DPP33 or DPP44 switch. DP34 would need independent coax runs, one for each input, either DPP switch would have one line run with a DPP Separator to feed both inputs.

The one coax run to the 722 is what happened with my TurboHD Gold install. Then there is the DPP Separator connecting it to the two SAT inputs. Works well!

Funny, I'd had my home prewired Quad Shielded RG6 and a second coax goes to the SATS. Just wasn't used at this time. Guess that's all good to go if I get a second 722 or whatever in the future.

sorry, i have the dish 1000.2, so is each line coming off the LNB for a seperate tuner, and if so, all i would need to do is take one of those lines, use the splitter and plug it into the back correct?

Connect the separator to the Sat 1 and Sat 2 inputs of the receiver. Connect any line from the 1000.2 sat dish to the Input port of the separator.

First step is to run check switch and see what it thinks it's connected to. Troubleshoot from there.

Each output of the 1000.2 can be used with a separator, not splitter, to connect to a dual tuner receiver. One of those is an input though for a fourth orbital location.

 

[terrenecomm]

yeah, sorry used the wrong lingo, i meant seperator. i checked my orbitals while plugged into 119 and 129 but im thinking now that its confusing the receiver having both of them plugged into it. i will try this tomorrow, thanks for the help.

Is this a home system being setup in a business location?
