What type lnb's are you using?

 

[cheito]

i am using two dual dp ;mb

 

[garys]

You need either a DP34 or a DPP33 or DPP44 switch.

 

[cheito]

yes sorry i forgot to let you know i do have a dp-34 switch how do you hook it up with this reciver and do i need a duplex for the dual tunar ?? thanks. remember i have two dual dp lmbs

 

[garys]

You are missing something, you need to view three sat locations, two dual lnb's will only see two. Is one of the lnb's a twin and not a dual?

and do i need a duplex for the dual tunar ??

It will work fine in single-family home and most other dwelling types.

Since you're using the wrong term and/or wrong spelling, we'll understand better if you describe the problem you're trying to solve.

you need two cables from the dp34, one for each satellite input on the vip722.

i have two seperate dual lmbs not one in all. they are dual with two ports on each one that i can run two cables for each, my question is if i got a dp-34 switch i can run one cable from the 119 to port one on the dp=34 switch and one on port 2 and the one on 129 on port three and then run to tv from the dp-34 i run two cables to the reciver for the dual otlets will this work i hope i can exprese my self better thanks.

Where is 110?

 

[cheito]

no its 119 on port one 110 on port two and 129 on port three on the dp-34 switch and two cables coming out from the dp-34 from where it says tv out to the two dual tuners from the reciver its this the way thanks.

 

[garys]

How many lines are going to the DP34 switch? You stated you had two DP duals, you would need three duals to get three sat locations. For a dual tuner receiver, you would need two coax runs from the DP34 switch to the receiver location. Nothing would need to be duplexed unless you want to combine one of the sat coax runs with either cable or ota coax. You cannot duplex the two sat lines together.

thanks for your reply !! yes i am running two dish 500 one at 119,110 and the other at 129 alone and yes i am running three dual lnbs two dual from the 119,110 and a solo for the 129 my question is from the lmbs to the dp-34 switch how does it connect to and how do i check the check swith from the reciver thanks.

 

[garys]

You need to run two coax lines from the switch outputs, one each to the inputs on the receiver (since it is a dual tuner receiver, you need two coax runs one for each tuner). Once hooked up, you will find a Check Switch button on the installations Point Dish screen (you need to make sure you have the dishes pointed correctly and this screen gives you your signal strength levels). Once the check screen has successfully completed the test (all three sat locations should appear and state that they are ok). You can then have the receiver activated.
