I moved my VIP222 receiver and can't get it to reconnect

I moved my 222 receiver from one room to my bedroom where the other TV was located. I moved all the cables from the first room and hooked them up in the bedroom. It can not find a satellite signal, it goes through the signal check and then starts a test of 1 of 50. It never works after this test.

Is there anything I can do to get this to work without calling a tech? There is no obstruction, I didn't move the actual dish. Thanks for any help, brand new to Dish.

Well this dont make any sense at all. It should work no problem.

Surely you checked where you connected the coax on the receiver. Unless the coax has a break in it somewhere.

Did you move the whole cable or did you cut and splice it? I don't know anything about the 222 (i.e. whether it requires two cables or one). I had a similar problem when I moved my 622 but it was all my errors. I had hooked up the wrong cable since the switch used requires a power inserter and the power inserter must be hooked up to a specific switch port. If you put new connectors on the cables, make sure that they were done properly (good connections). I ended up calling tech support to correct my silly mistakes. Just shooting in the dark here. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply. I did move all the cables to the new room. I'm not familiar with the power inserter, that may be my problem. The cables I moved had a dual separator and a diplexer. All the connections were solid. Not sure if the installer put something behind my wall, it may have been the power inserter you are speaking of.

It don't need NO power inserter!!!

run cable from dish directly to seperator attached to 222.

when that works, then start foolin with diplexers.

Probably not, but that depends on the installation and what kind of switch was used.
