Using a Viewsat Ultra, 33" Dish and appropriate LNB.

LNB=Standard
11250
22Khhz =Off
12224
Port=1

Upon Auto scanning I am able to get all channels except ZeeTV, Star1 and Star Plus.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

"appropriate LNB" - if that means you have a LNB specially designed to receive Anik 3 at 118.7W, then you should try
LNB freq = 10750 (or less)
LMNB type = Universal 2 (Standard may work)
With some of the special LNBs, you have two scan two slates one for 118.7W with the above info using ANIK3 slate or ANIK1 or another slate, and a second scan using the setup you posted for 119W using the Echo 7 slate.
If you have Dishpro special LNB for 118.7/119 then you have two outlets connected to two different ports and scanned appropriately

Thank You, Nalin

Another thing that I noticed while scanning was that the Signal strength remains almost constant at aroung 85%, however the PQ tends to fluctuate between 45 & 85%.

on another occsion I scanned TP 17 to acquire Star! and Star+, and TP20 or 21 to acquire ZeeTV. somehow this time round TP scanning does not seem to help. I already tried factory default and then loading the newest bin file.

Thanks again

I'll check it out this evening and confirm the LNB type and settings.

Thank You

Quality will vary between TPs.
Depending upon the special LNB used, I found that setting it at 11250 and Universal 2 and a Blind scan sometimes works better than other settings - but the TP frequencies that come down are different from the published ones.
Probably the 10750 or 10600 setting is the best and use Blind scan.
Some of the channels might be numbered i.e. instead of getting star+ you might get TV 716.

It has to be a LNB designed for 118.7/119 combo.
LNB type: Standard or Universal2
LNB high:10750
LNB low:9750
TP Freq.: 11715

If it is a Dish-Pro LNB
LNB type: Dsc-DP
LNB high:10750 for 118
LNB high:112550 for 119
LNB low:9750
TP Freq.: 11715 for 118
TP Freq.: 12239 for 119

I said all that in my earlier post.

Thanks Nalin

It is a Dish-pro LNB
After setting it as suggested by you, it is working correctly.

Thank you.
