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...

95% success!!!!!!
This morning I hooked everything back up and had complete failure on the new equipment.
Following Bill's advice, I changed my settings to point the dish to satellite 72 with only the primary receiver. After it found service and was working properly, I connected the new receiver to another TV, and then to the dish.
After powering it up, I was greeted with a screen that said "the system has encountered a problem and is checking your switch". It then went through a 38 step process that took almost 20-30 minutes.
After that was complete, it acquired a signal, downloaded a guide, and the next thing you know I'm watching TV on 2 sets!!!
Of course, I'm still on satellite 72, which does not work best for us.
At least I know the receiver is in the system properly and working properly.
Now to point and tweak the system to the satellites I want and see what happens.
Stay tuned....
