Help with 722dvr receiver & 1000.1 dish

[Thomas j clark]

I have a dish on tripod for rv - been trying for 2 weeks to get signal. Do I need to use a splitter in back of receiver to conn. to sat 1 & sat 2
I'm only using 1 tv
everything is pointing right direction skew is correct elevation correct no obstructions

There is no such dish as a 1000.1, it is either a 1000.2 or 1000.4 but that really doesn't matter. What does matter is what type lnb is on the dish. It's either Legacy (there would be markings showing this type), DishPro (lnb would have DP logo) or DishProPlus (DPP logo). If you have DPP, then you can use a DPP Separator (and yes, this does look like a splitter, but is not one) to feed both tuners on the receiver.

There is a Dish 1000 because I am still using one.

I believe it has a DP Plus twin (110 & 119) and a DP Plus dual (129).

This Dish does not require a switch unless you have more than 3 receivers.

I believe the DPP Twin has an input where the DPP Dual is connected for the internal switch to merge it into the 3 outputs.

YES! you need a SEPERATOR, not a splitter for dual tuner receivers.

So even if I'm only use 1 tv I need the separator to get a signal and I can't just go to satellite 1. Where can I buy one?

[garys]

It is a DPP Separator, Dish would sell it or any Dish retailer would have them in stock. If you already have a two tuner receiver, it may have come with it so you may already have one.

No dish model was 1000.1, there was a Dish 1000 and 1000+, both of which I should have had in my previous post.

Thank you. I spent 4 days in the cold trying to set up the dish to get a signal. I was on the phone with dish their rv section with at least 6 different tech reps. I asked the same question and they all said I did not need the separator. I'll have to look in the box for the separator if not I'll borrow one from my home unit. Thanks again and I'll let you know how I made out. The splitter on the back of my home receiver has three outlets one to each of the sat. And one to something else I'll connect all 3.

That might be a seperator/diplexer for bringing in two bands of satellite frequencies plus OTA frequencies to your OTA tuner.

the triplexor is for 2 sat signals and the home dist backfeed.....
