Thursday I took my old 301 dish receiver, portable tv outside and connected the receiver directly to two of the 3 satellite leads (one at a time) went to the aim dish on the receiver moved the dish all around and never got a lock using either lead. I'm about 20 miles from the Seattle towers and can use one at times to pick up the locals with one. I bought one at Walmart and it is a very solid, possibly the best unamplified indoor antenna. There is an antenna called the Silver Sensor, usually boxed as a Philips product. Being 5 miles from the towers, a simple UHF antenna should work to pick up all the channels. I have 2 622s and doubt I'll ever get a 722. The 622 and 722 are almost the same, with the 722 having a larger HD and a slightly better processor.

I do wonder if you have some coax that is a bit marginal and it causes some problems. You may try the switch check with the LNB connected with a short piece of coax directly to the receiver.

But it could be something with the meter working with the LNB. That being said, you should be able to get signal.

One thing about the the Dish Pro equip is it reports the switch and connections without being locked to a satellite. It should report the LNB, I believe but then list X under the positions. Make sure you run the switch check with the 1000.2 lnb. Did you buy the dish through e-bay or through a dish retailer? Up here in Seattle we aren't able to reliably receive the 129 with a 1000 dish and have to use a separate, larger dish, but a nice good looking 1000.2 is in my future once the replacement 129 satellite gets in place later this year. Hope the weather warms up and you can get out and get the dish set up. I know the high end meters have their own power supply, report which satellite is being recieved and can operate the multiswitches. I think people originally used the receiver as the power supply, connecting the meter in-line at the dish, then confirming at the receiver viewing the correct satellite. I'm not sure what and SF-95 is but if it puts out ~15 volts and the 600 mA you should be good to power the meter and LNB. I would just use 1 of the 2 coax cables while peaking, then connect the second after the dish is aimed and bolts are all tighened down.

Again, I've never used a meter to peak, but the reason the instructions have you connect the meter on port 1 is that is the default output for the 119 (center) position, so in theory you don't need the foil. Unless you end up needing to receive signal from a 4th satellite you won't need any additional equip. If you do decide to go single coax and separator, you'll already have a second coax for backfeeding the RF out to another room's TV, or a coax cable for an outside antenna. Using 2 separate coax cables to the tuner shouldn't hurt anything. It worked as I was able to locate 61.5 satellite through the trees. I couldn't really make out the signal, but could see movement on the signal bar and hear the tones as I found the satellite. One time I had an old receiver on the roof feeding a pocket sized b&w TV.

I seem to remember something about the 1000.2 coming with a temporary bracket that would let you use a single LNB in the middle spot to aim the dish at 119 (no switches), then remove and install the 3 eye LNB. I'm not sure if it was about the built in switch or the current required for the LNB or it might have been with DishProPlus Twins, which were used on the original Dish 1000. I seem to remember some issues with the 1000.2 and meters. I've never used a meter to aim the dish, I've always used the receiver and tv. You'd need a DishPro LNB for that (I don't remember if you had DishPro or Legacy equipment). Your 1000.2 also has an 'Input' connection that can be feed from another dish LNB to pick up 1 more satellite signal, so if additional programming were added to either the 61.5 or 148 sats you could just swing your old 500 toward those. On another forum someone mentioned hinted about potential new programming being sent from the 148 satellite, but at this point I suspect it would be for west coast local channels. It picks up all 3 main programming satellites for dish and that all you should need to receive your programming, inlcuding all the HD the 942 will pick up. With the 1000.2, the switches are built into the LNB and it will feed 3 separate receivers, either single or dual tuners (with separator at receiver).
