Hi Everyone...

OK...I got a new VIP 622. I am running a dish 500 dish with a twin DPP LNB for 110 and 119. I am running another dish 500 with one DPP LNB to get 61.5. Before I got my DPP SW44 I was running 110 and 119 into input 1 & 2 of a SW21 and the output of that into input 1 of another SW21, then I took 61.5 and put it into input 2 of the 2nd Sw21. I then took the output of the 2nd SW21 put it into input 1 on my VIP 622. As crazy as it sounds...after a check switch, the receiver recognized all three satellites on input 1 and it worked fine.

Then I bought the DPP SW44.
I took 110 and ran it into TO DISH 1 on left side of SW44
I took 119 and ran it into TO DISH 2 on left side of SW44
I took 61.5 and ran it into TO DISH 3 on left side of SW44
I left TO DISH 4 capped.

I connected the power inserter to the TO POWER INSERTER 1 on the bottom of SW44
I then ran a cable from TO RECEIVER SATELLITE IN 2 to a DPP Seperator and then into Input 1 and 2 on the back of my receiver.
I ran through the 14 step procedure to clear the switch (found in this forum) 4 x

When I run checkswitch, it is recognizing the DPP SW44 on both input 1 and input 2 BUT...it is only showing 61.5 on DISH 4 input, which it isn't even connected to.

Now it gets even crazier...I have gotten a whole new DPP SW44 and new power inserter from Dish Network and have the same problem with both switches.

I have tried both switches with 2 different VIP 622 receivers and have the same problem with both receivers.

I am under the 200 ft cable length...and the check switch works fine when I use the old SW21 combination...BUT...I want to be able to have multiple Satellite outputs.

CAN ANYONE SEE ANYTHING THAT I AM MISSING???? Please HELP!!!!

Thanks...Geoff

We are talking about a DPP44 switch right? I'm seeing the term SW44 and its a bit confusing. I also see where you mention a SW21.

Also, are you using RG6 cable? I've attached an image of my current setup to maybe assist.

Hi SMMosher...Thanks For Replying

Yes I am using RG6 cable that is rated as Dish specifies. Yes it is a DPP SW44 Model 121252. I only mentioned the legacy SW21's because that is what I was using before I got the DPP SW44 and they worked fine (but they only let me use 1 receiver), that is why I bought the DPP SW44. It is really nuts...I am 99% sure I have set the thing up right?? But nothing I do makes the setup work with the DPP SW44.

Hey Mosher...

I can see why you are confused...It is called a DPP44...sorry for the confusion.

 

[macckker]

One other ? I have is...why would the SW21's work fine and yet the DPP44 does not???

And we're sure all LNBs are DishPro?

Hey Mosher...

Well since you asked...I went outside in the freezing cold with a big flashlight...and sure enough...they both say Dish Pro...BUT NOT Dish Pro Plus, which I am guessing is a problem. I went online and found a Dish Pro Plus Twin LNB that will allow me to connect my 61.5 to it. Thanks For Helping Me think my way through it...I will let you know how I make out!! Geoff

The DPP44 can be fed by regular DP LNBs. There really isn't a DPP LNB as DishPro Plus is a function of the switch. So 110/119 can come from 2 DP Duals, a DP Twin, or a DPP Twin.

Now that you're getting a DPP Twin (guessing you were mistaken in post #1?) and (if I'm reading right) have only the 1 receiver, or maybe 2, you can return or sell the more expensive DPP44.

First stupid question - you plugged the power inserter into a wall outlet, didn't you?

Try swapping the 110 and 119 cables and run the checkswich again.
