I have recently run into a problem with DP plus and 1000.2 lnbs. I have to install the 148 orbital for my locals here. When I get the dish lined up on the correct bird, I connect it to the lnb in port on the lnb's. I then run a check switch and port 3 of the dp plus is X'd out and port 4 on the 1000.2 is X'd. I left one job and came back the next day and I had 148! Why doesn't this work the first time? Is this a software issue or hardware. I've tried many new lnbs to no avail. Tech support is of no help. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated.
Most dishnetwork receivers do not know the built in switch that is in the 1000.2 lnb. The receiver must take the software update to recognize the switch. In your case, the receiver had the chance to download the update during the night. That's why it worked the next day.
Next time you install 1000.2, just run the check switch and let it take the update, then run check switch again.
