You guys have made my day.......A week ago I sent a rather lengthy email on the topic of HD-RSN's and have yet to receive any type of response.................

Finally did a check switch where I received the same error message again.....Hopefully this information can provide some clarification......I have a VIP622 that services two televisions (primary set in living room / other in bedroom).......Specifics on the actual switch test were the following...

I have ran four "check switch" tests this evening and I can't get it to occur......I know I still have a problem because it has occurred twice since I submitted my original post.......When it happens again, I will provide you with the information you requested if you don't object.......Thanks...

I have experienced the following error message: SAT INPUT 1 - Missing Port 1b Sat 119 Even SAT INPUT 2 - Direct Connect To A DP Feed Port 1 DP Feed 119 Even, Odd When I initially called dish while encountering this problem they said it might be a weather issue / line of sight...

I am looking to possibly add a Dish 500+ for my 110 / 118.7 / 119 satellites and leave my Dish 1000 dedicated to the 129 satellite......In searching for the DPP44 I have seen it listed with a power inserter. Some vendors show the DPP44 switch with no mention of a power inserter. My receiver is...

Is it that difficult to receive high signals on the 118.7?? I'm planning on letting the installer place the 1000+ in the same foot plate as my 1000?? Is this feasible?? You mentioned using the 500+........I don't have such......Am I misunderstanding something?? Also unclear on struts...

Thanks for the information.......You have been a tremendous help........Very much appreciated......

My biggest concern is maintaining high signal stength......Your post provides some encouragement.......Glad to hear..........Thanks

I guess my best option is to let try and make arrangements with Dish to replace my 1000 with a 1000+........The satellite I was having the most difficult time receiving was the 129 satellite (HD programming)....... I am currently waiting on a gentleman to come and cut down a couple of trees...

That would be ideal..........My only issue there is associated with cost......I can upgrade thru dish (which requires them taking the dish 1000 back) for about a 1/3 of what a dish 1000+ plus DPP44 costs........If your option will work I might have to consider..........

A tech came out (stated he had never traveled to my area to do an install - over an 1.5 drive) last week to install the Dish 1000+ thru Dish but the line of sight was not there.......Some trees were going to have to be cut before the tech would be able to install the Dish 1000+.......I am...

What type of dish & lnb would need to be dedicated to the 129 satellite?? Also, would a particular switch or separator be needed?? As stated earlier..........I have a dish 1000 with a VIP622 receiver......

Question about adding seperate dish I have a question about receiving the 118.7 satellite feed........I currently have a dish 1000 that brings in a signal strength of 93 on most channels.....The lowest signal strength I receive on the 129 satellite is a 78.......I realize that a dish 1000+ is...

Too complicated for me to comprehend...........As stated earlier, my knowledge with satellite usage and installation is very minimal.........That being said........Is there a way to purchase a separate dish and lnb to pick up the 118.7 satellite exclusively while leaving my dish 1000...

Is there a way to add the 118.7 satellite to another dish without messing with the original placement of the dish 1000? Please advise??
