6000 won't take update to dish 1000

[abba]

i have dish 1000 but my 6000 ird won't take an update from dish 500 to 1000.
I have good signal to 110.119. 129 but for some reason won't take an update
Can i force to take update if i earase SA30 .

Did you do a check switch test?

[abba]

many times is still no go

The dish1000 normally uses Dishproplus technology. The 6000 will not work with DPP by itself UNLESS you have a DP receiver hooked up to the second feed or you have a DP adaptor on the 6000 feed. If you changed the lnbs to legacy, then disregard.

I have dp receiver hooked up to second feed but first feed wich goes in 6000 has no dish pro adapter. I am not sure if i need one as longest i pick up all 3 sat's. All 3 sat's has i good signal.

[Dave411]

Ok, should not need a DP adaptor in that case. Is the switch test fine, but it just won`t update the firmware to P856?

[abba]

the current software version is 856P, but it doesn't say welcome to dish 1000 if i tune to channel 9900 , is dish 500, if i tune to channel 9901 "you are pointed to 129"

[Dave411]

That`s fine. Don`t think you will get an actual "splash" page saying anything about Dish1000. My 6000 is exactly the same way,

[abba]

Ok then,but how many hd channels do you pick up, I only pick up those wich i had with dish 500,

[Dave411]

Yeah, that is all you will get now. All the Voom HD channels, as well as locals or PPV, on 129 went to MPEG4 and we can`t get them with the 6000. So we only get one PPV and HBO, Show, and those few others.

[abba]

Or crap, i fought they still has about 12 channels left

[iamjesuschrist]

Convert it to the bitch she has about 30 HD channels. Lots of how too's out there.
