- so are you saying that there should not be continuity out of both outlet ports on the separator?

Oct 11, 2009

- I have a 625 dish receiver and the 2nd tv does not work. I have been on the phone with dish technicians and no one will give me any information on checking out the separator. All I want to know is if I can check out a separator for continuity from the input on the separator to the 2 outputs with an ohmmeter. When I do this I have continuity from the input on the separator to the no. 1 satellite in on the separator but when I check input to and satellite 2 it shows no continuity. Is this telling me that the separator isn't any good because of no continuity from the input to the no.2 satellite on that side of the separator?

you can test the coil network, but not the capacitor, because of the frequency and how high it is a meter will only show if a coil has continuity

The problem is none of these. Run a check switch test or have dish network push a test through the satelite. I had this problem once and the switches tested good but the combiner was bad and had to be replaced. There are 2, 2 wire switches near the dish and they should go into a 4 wire combiner which splits into 2 to 4 wires depending on how many sets or controllers you have. Another solution could be distance related. I don't remember the actual limit but if you ahve exceeded teh distance from the receiver or at the max distance you can sometimes get this. I would call Dish and have them trouble shoot throught eh dish and isolate the problem.
