dish network two receivers - rubiks cube
If this is too long, click me and go to another post...LOL
Dish network for 12 years, 301 receiver in the S&B, took it with us in the MH and used it after set up no problems for last 3 years.
Last Dec they replaced it with 311k, did not try it in the RV.
Fast forward...yesterday I picked up a 322 dual receiver thinking I could put it in the S&B and use another tv for another room.
After 3 tries on the Dish Network chat feature and two calls the 322 in the house would only pickup 106,126 & 286. showed strong signal on 119 and 110 but status ck showed 110 red. I put the 311k (single receiver) in the RV no channels (015 channel signal lost) put the 311k back in the S&B - every channel great.
Put the 322 in the RV, getting both satelites 110-119 but only 341,342,343, hallmark and a few others. No locals.
Crazy, ....311k works fine in S&B, not rv. 322 dual only works on 2-3 channels in S&B and in the rv now gets different channels, 8-12 different ones, again not all.
DW said just leave the 322 in the RV and leave the 311k in the house and we get all of our programming no problem at least in the house and we will get some in the RV, I hope.
SO...as of now, I have the 311k back in the house working fine and the 322 in the RV getting some channels. I have a Kingdumb 9702, that worked ok with the other receiver (301) prior, just set it up, a little tedious but always worked.
If any body has any thoughts or input, you're welcome to chime in.
It's a crazy situation as I would love to have the 311k (single) in the RV and 332 (dual) in S&B but it's not working out.
Maybe the 322 I got from an individual had issues with input/reception, their past acct was clear so I added the receiver to mine.
It's just weird there is no distinct pattern...
If I get advice to have a tech come out, I will wait and see Sarge in Sacramento. The last Dish tech did not know how to menu 6-1-5 to move the modulator to channel 3-4. However, I know they just want to do what's quickest and get out...I have no problem with that.
