In order to check if it is a power problem, I would suggest you to do the following test:

1. Hook the cable from the dish to the Elite IF-A IN .
2. Hook the Elite IF-A OUT to the Premier IF-IN.

With this setup, the power to the LNB is provided by the Elite and not by the Premier .
Depending on the satellite and channel, the Elite is set to receive, the Premier should be able to scan about half the channels (more or less) of the satellite the Elite is set for.
By changing channels and satellites with the Elite you should be able to watch with the Premier anything the Elite is set for, provided you also set the Premier to get that channel.

Important:
Always turn off the receivers from the back switch, before removing and connecting cables.

Let us know your findings and will proceed from there.
