No, you are not posting in the correct place. The folks in the Dish Network forum will be able to answer this. This thread will likely be movced into DISH Network technical discussions forum soon.
If you have a Dual Tuner DVR/Reciever (runs 2 TV's) and you are installing a DP 34 Switch, you need to run 2 direct feeds into the DVR from the switch. Run a check switch (Menu 6 1 1) and everything will work fine, as long as you have left your TV2 feed alone. Single tuner recievers, only need one line coming in from the switch to the back of the reciever. If you've hooked up the 34 switch correctly, just run your check switches, download the program guide (does automatically after you are done with the check switch and cancel out of the menu) you should be good to go 
Hope this helps

Hmmm, my question is why are you using 91W in your setup. What kind of receiver are you using for 91W?
considering the receiver models weren't listed, I wouldnt be so sure.
As noted above, the receiver models would be of great help

You could be right Iceberg.
Folk, we need to know what receivers you are using to help you any further on your issues.
Different receivers may dictate different equipement can be used.
no this is the right place to post but as noted above, some receivers have a different setup from the switch to receiver
Your using DishPro Plus lnb's with a DishPro 34 switch this is the problem you need a DishPro Plus 44.
91 is Bell Canada's satellite which won't work with a dishnet subscription receiver.
