I NEED HELP PLEASE

[yert62]

Ok I'm trying to install a Dish Sat. "Dish Network 1000" it has two different "signal recievers" (not sure what else to call them) one says "dp plus" it has two recievers n it (110w and 119w) the other one dosnt say what sat it is although I would assume it would be 129w well any way 119w has two places for coax cables and 110w has only one coax hook up so I assume I have to have at least one hooked up to each, the one I'm assuming is 129w has two places for coax, I was told that I need a dp 34 switch,
im hooking this up at my river bak I'm only using one tv receiver in the camper it is a vp612 dvr

Please help!!

My questions are...
1 what coaxes need to be hooked up!?
2 do I have to have a dp34 switch can I just use a three way switch from Walmart?

one cable from the smaller lnb to the single port on the dp plus, then a single cable from the dual side of the dp plus to the 612. be sure to run a check switch.

You don't need a DP34.

Connect the single LNB (most likely a DP Dual that picks up 129) to the "input" on the DPP twin.

Run one line from the DPP twin to the 612, and use a DPP Separator.

Here's a wiring diagram. Ignore the receivers that they are connected to (and the "148" listed on the single LNB), and remember to use a Separator on the 612

Please put that in layman's terms. I'm an idiot ha ha.

Thanks dish network. I think I've got it now.

I updated the wiring diagram in my last post, please take note of the amazing paint skill

The pretty red line wasn't made by me, but it would go to another receiver, or not be there

Gotcha

Hey Matt, I just tried hooking it up just as shown in picTure... I'm getting no signal help?

 

[MattG@DISH]

The dish probably needs to be repointed.

Use dishpointer.com to make sure that you have the correct angles on the dish, and make sure that your mast is level

 

[yert62]

Ok azimuth 232 elevation 33 skew 124 I have ll this done the mast is level I have the point dish on the dvr and I'm getting absolute no signal am I using this wrong?

 

[yert62]

Do I use dish 300, 500, super idk what I'm doing wrong

You won't use any of the settings in the receiver menu (they don't support the 1000 dishes).

If you post your zip code, one of us will happily get the angles for you. I can also schedule a tech for you if you wanted.
