Setting up Dish Network with the Hopper

Question

Hello and Help!I recently purchased a 1000.2 dish to use with my hopper in the RV. I am having a heck of a time getting it to work. I have a few questions if anyone can help! Why is there 2 LNB's, but 3 places to screw in the coax? Which coax attachments do you use? I am using a node, but they say "client" and "host". Which do you use for the TV? I bought an inline sattelite finder. It's a Winegard SF 1000, and doesn't appear to work, of course didn't find any sattelites according to the signal meter on the TV. Everything just seemed dead, no signal! I thought the screen on TV would make a sound, but no luck there either! What am I doing wrong??

Here are two ways to connect your 1000.2 to a Hopper:

- Dual Coax from Tripod to RV

- Single Coax from Tripod to RV

Also, you can connect a coax to any one of the 3 connections on the LNB arm, and your sat meter is not very good. If you have a smart phone, get the Dish Pointer app. It will show you where to aim.

The Dish 1000.2 eastern arc twin LNB is configured with ports 1 &amp; 3 both connected to the 72.7 LNB, and port 2 connected to the 61.5 LNB. This LNB requires a DPP 44 switch, NOT a DPP 33. The eastern and western arc 3 LNB heads for the 1000.2 dish have the DPP switch built in and do not require an external switch. The receiver coax can be connected to either ports 1, 2, or 3, but not port 4 on the DPP LNB's
