I have a 322 dish receiver there is just too ports to hook to and i have ant.+ cable and sat. to hook to it anyhelp would be welcome. thanks

ok explain a little more please. Make sure U have the coax coming from the Dish (outside) going into the back of receiver where it says SAT in. or if it is a dual tuner (ie: 322 etc) make sure the coax in hooked up to the Separator. also make sure u are using the correct dish and lnb to match ur receiver. I ALWAYS do a "check switch: every time I hook up to a new/different dish just to make sure the receiver recognizes the LNB.

The satellite in cables play a big role in a receiver getting signal. Since they were disconnected, verify the cables are both hand tight and everything is plugged in.

If the satellite was working before, but isn't after disconnecting there may be a connection problem in the line. At that point verify all the cables are tight, and you can also try swapping the Sat In cables around. The Sat In cables have to be in the correct port to work. Let me know if the problem continues!

Hi nganhoang54,

A 1000.2 dish is mainly used on HD equipment to bring in the 3 satellites required. For a 322, the best choice of dish would be a Dish 500.

To hookup a 1000.2 dish, you would need to point the dish, and run the line into a Diplexor. From the Diplexor side with one connection, run another cable into the single connection of another Diplexor, and from there one cable into a splitter for the Sat In connections. Take the TV2 Home Distribution cable and put it into the other port on the Diplexor, and connect TV2 from the open port on your first Diplexor.

Let me know if you have any other questions!

Is TV 2 off the 322 receiver being back fed from the receiver or do you have a direct connection to the 3rd room? If it is a direct connection, you would screw the coax from the 3rd bedroom directly to the TV 2 Home Distribution channel 21-69 out port.

If you are back feeding, you need 2 diplexers that connect 1) by the receiver and 2) between the receiver and the 3rd TV. The back feeding will use the same cable coming from the dish to the receiver.

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.

I am assuming when you say you disconnected power from the TV to install carpet, you disconnected the cables from the receiver to your TV. Depending upon your installation, you have a cable that comes from the dish located outside that is connected to a splitter and has 2 cables coming off the splitter. The 2 cables will connect to SAT 1 and SAT 2 on the back of the receiver. Your TV 2 connection either goes directly to your TV 2 or goes to a second separator, connected to the UHF/VHF connector. If you still have problems with the connections, please email me at [email protected] and I will assist you further.

Hello, Daniel Busa here with Dish Network customer service. It sounds like your signal input on your reciever may be fried. You will probably need a replacement, one thing you can try is replacing the separator that runs to the sat input 1-2. This may be the issue as the ports are rated differently if you pick on up make sure it's rated at 2,150 mhz.

You should have one line entering the home behind the TV1 attached to it there should be a device exactly as you saw outside. You will want the line from outside connected to the single port called in/out and the SAT port goes to the silver seperator. The two lines leaving the seperator attach to the SAT in on the receiver. The UHF poret on the device connects to the home distibution port on the receiver.

Thanks for using Fix YA.

It does require 2 lines form dish unless you have a switch installed such as a dp34 or you have Dish Pro plus LNB"S on your dish and you can use 1 feed to the reciver and use a separator to separate the signal into sat 1 and sat 2 (note: a standard splitter is NOT a separator) a separator is dish brand equipment.

bring the 301 receiver to where the 322 is and one at a time hook each satellite in coaxial feeds to it if you get both satellites then the receiver can be the problem if not then the outputs on your dp34 switch can be defective.

If you have one cable leading from the wall toward the back of the receiver you can disconnect the seperator and diplexer (if equipped) from the SAT 1 and SAT 2 ports and connect the line from the wall directly to one of the ports and run a check switch test. You should get a 1 of 2-4 depending on lnb type on the tuner you connected the line to and a 1 of 38 on the other. Perform this operation for both SAT 1 AND SAT2 as described above. If you have the 1 of 38 appearing only on the port that the line is not connected to then the receiver is good and the problem may be the seperator which is the silver device that has two wires going to the back of the receiver initally and one port connected to the SAT port of a diplexer. Disconnect the diplexer and hook the seperator to the receiver and run the SAT line from the wall to the single port of the seperator and do a check switch. If you don't get a 1 of 38 it is good and you have a bad diplexer. If your system does not use diplexers and you are experiencing the loss on TV2 you may have a bad TV2port on the receiver. You can take the wire from the TV2 PORT(in home distribution system) and place it on the 3-4 that the TV1 line is run from. Then go to TV2 and put that tv on channel 3 and see if you have picture. If the problem is at TV1 reverse the process by connecting the line on the 3-4 ut to the TV2 port and putting TV1 on chanel 60 or 73 and see if you get picture. if either produces picture on the bad tv the port to that TV is faulty. If you were still unable to get picture it may be a cabling, connector, barrel isssue that requires a tech to visit. Hope this assists you. Thanks for using Fix Ya.
