I actually tried the hookup both ways from the power inserter. Got the same result both ways.

I think our issue might be the receiver is not letting me change the satellite type. Its set on SL3 right now but the dish we are using is a 5. When I change the satellite type to a 5 in the reset up screen it switches back to the 3.

In the future i'd advise against that. Like i said it has the potential to fry the box.

I realize this is a different issue entirely, just giving you a heads up.

It won't let you change the satellite type because the receiver is not getting any signal from the dish. Hence the 775 error.

Try different coax cables or replace the barrel connectors on the end of the coax cables. There is only three things in play that cause a 775 error. Bad lnb, bad power inserter, or bad connection (bad coax cable, bad barrel connector on coax cable, cables not conncted to the correct input)
