Pathway X2 + Dish with 2 Receivers
I have a Pathway X2 that I have been using for 2-3 years now with no issues. I use it with one receiver, and connect it to an outside TV for sports and races. If we ever wanted to watch TV inside...

My new receiver showed up today finally.
I set it up to use as the main receiver only. I did not hook up my original receiver for the activation and testing purposes.
I called Dish, went through the activation process and paid the additional fee for a 2nd receiver.
They guy told me to wait a few minutes and it should activate itself and be ready to use.
Sure enough, about 3 minutes later the screen changes and says my receiver is being activated. Please wait and be ready to aim the dish when finished.
After a few minutes the aiming menu showed up....then the problems started.
I pick one receiver, pick my state, and then it starts to scan. Only it scans for about 3 seconds before telling me it can not locate any satellites. Over and over and over.
4 different Tech support guys, about 3 hours on the phone, and they tell me they don't know whats wrong, but maybe the receiver is bad....
I gave up and will try again in the morning. I'm going to hook it up tomorrow as a second receiver and see if it gets anything.
Stay tuned...
