I am connecting a 2800 receiver to a DP34 switch. I purchased a used Dishpro Adapter from ebay. I am only receiving 110 odd. When I do a check switch the Installed Switch Model says UNKNOWN and the Status is No Switch box detected. This is a brand new RG6 cable run and to confirm that the problem was not the cable, I took the receiver and adapter to a working room and saw the same thing except I only got 119 odd in that room. This receiver was working fine on my legacy setup last month. Do you think I bought a bad adapter? I would appreciate any ideas.

It definitely sounds like a defective adapter. Those checkswitch results are what you would get if you did NOT utilize a DP adapter.
When it rains it pours, I know that during my time I replaced maybe half a dozen but it does sound like its failed or the receiver may even have gone bad.
That is correct.
Glad to see a customer actually having the smarts AND the motivation to check things out on a working system to compare.
Sounds like the software on the 2800 might not be up to date.
I wouldn't trust anything bought on fleabay, but I have had 0 issues with legacy adaptors!

Based on the Dish website and the person that I got at tech support I have the latest software. The receiver works fine on a legacy network, and I get the same reading from the check switch if I have the adapter in place or if I take it out. I guess that only leaves the adapter unless there are any other ideas.
