first thing is make sure you are on the low side of the dipole. it has a filter in it to filter out the higher freqs so they don't make ingress. also, you have to put it in " dual " mode.

Dipole = Diplexer depends on who manufactured it, I am familiar with the 522, best way to test it is
hook up your tv to the second output and tune it to your output channel
usually 21 you may need to check in the menu to find what channel it is set to. that tells you whether the receiver is okay or not.

My 522 is "Modded" so it's a little different, but the concepts are still the same. basically what's going on is the diplexer allows power to pass from the receiver and power the LNB also has a band pass filter on one port that disallows any frequency above 700 Mhz sometimes 330 Mhz depending so when you mix them back together you shouldn't get overlap or interference, You said you have comcast internet before, you don't wan't to diplex the satellite into the cable, It can cause all kinds of problems, it may work if everything is just right but generally it just Fu(ks everything up.

I would bet that the reciever and TV are set to different channels but I haven't played w/ mine enough yet to help you any more than that. The installers used channels 69 and 71 for my 2 2nd TV's. I would take a small TV close to the reciever and try different channels and go from there.
Good Luck, Brad J
Well, I have it on the correct station, I ran a long cable from my TV to the out on the receiver and it worked fine. I got a wiring diamgram thats for a Dish Network setup and everything looks correct...guess I'm gonna have to give Dish a call and get them to come out a fix it...Brad J said:
