Simple 942 Sat. In Wiring Question

[jgili]

I had a simple question about my Dish 942 receiver:

I have 2 coax wires going into my 942 in the Sat In 1(A) and Sat In 2(B). When I run a Checkswitch I see that the Sat. 1 has Port 1 as 119 and Port 2 at 110 and Sat. 2 has the same Port 1 as 119 and Port 2 as 110.

My question is does this mean that the Sat In 2 line is redundant and I don't need to have the Sat In 2 line connected? If I disconnected this coax line would I still have the same connections to the two satellites at 110 and 119?

Also if this is true and I disconnected it what is the procedure for "rebooting" or running a new checkswitch to make sure my receiver works properly?

Thanks.

I should have searched better.........I found that I would need a Dish Pro Plus Sparator to use a single wire.

Not only that, but you will need DPPlus-Twin LNB or DPP44 Switch.
