Hopper 3/DPH42 & Trav'ler Setup??

[reubenray]

I am working on setting this up for a single H3. Even though I am getting a strong signal on 129 it is not showing up in my details. I have done the test installation several times. The 110 and 119 sats are showing a check, but the conn is not. Some of my channels are not showing up in the guide and are in SD only which I guess the HD channel is on 129. I am not using the node being I will only have a single H3 in my system. I have checked my cables. Is there a particular order the cables need to be in from the dish to the DPH42?

I got it working by putting the Hybrid Solo Hub in the loop. I did not think I needed it being I am only using a single H3.

You need three cables from the dish so the three LNB signals can be mixed for input to the Hopper 3.vOrder is not critical but keeping 1 to 1, 2 to 2, and 3 to 3 makes trouble shooting easier. At the base of the Travelers is marked A, B, C.

I had to move my rv and now I am not getting the 129 sat again. The Tra'vler is locked on, but the DPH42 is passing it to the receiver. I did the test installation several times again.

I am trying to delete any pieces that I don't need while troubleshooting this. I took the A/B switch out. Is the Hybrid Solo Hub necessary for only a single H3?

Any ideas?

I think I got it figured out. I knew I had to do a hard reboot of the receiver, but to get everything working I did a hard reboot for the DPH42 switch also. I have to unplug the receiver each time I move being it sits on my steering wheel. It is to big to fit in my entertainment center.

I had my Hopper behind the bedroom GV and it was about 1-1/2" too deep. I put blocks under the back of the Hopper and the tilt allowed the door to close. I also used 90 degree HDMI adapters to reduce cable clearance needs.
