How do you make a Dish DVR work with Viewsat?

Question

I have recently purchased a viewsat ultra lite, and I can not get it to work with my Dish Network DVR.  The viewsat works or the dvr works.  The problem I believe is with the dual LNBs.  There is a single coax/data wire coming from the dual LNBs and I think both receivers are fighting over the signal.  Is there any way to make them both work at the same time?

Read the manual under antenna setup.  I think both receivers are attempting to power the LNB at the same time.  The viewsat allows you to turn off the LNB excitation voltage.  Give it a try and let us know how it worked!

You need a separate coax and dish for the Viewsat. It does not need to connect to the Dishnetwork system at all.
