Question about satellite tv; multi dish problem; more details...?
OK...My hubby and I have had Dish Network for years; we love it. Recently I got a new tv for the bedroom and we hooked up another receiver. The receiver always worked fine in the other room it was in but since we hooked it up in the bedroom it has problems finding and keeping a signal. It comes up with an error about our multi dish switch...which is new. So, I called Dish customer support and went through all the stuff with them and they said they would have to have someone come out to see if it was in the line. We don't want to have to pay them to come out and fix it because we found out that the installer that came out to hook it up used the old lines that the people had before for cable tv... not satellite wire. So then we decided to try a inline satellite signal booster. It hasn't helped but I think my hubby has it hooked up in the wrong place.
It seems to me that it should be hooked to the wire right after it comes out of the multi dish switch and he has it hooked up to the back of the receiver. Where should the booster go and what else can we try? PLEASE DON'T TELL ME THAT I SHOULD CALL DISH NETWORK AGAIN...I want to exhaust all our fix it yourself options before I call them again. Thanks to any suggestions!!
