Help with new setup

Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 17 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Wednesday, January 14, 2009 - 21:49 GMT Sorry to start a new thread this is driving me crazy. Background: Northeast Ohio USA I am trying to receive Echo 7. I am using a receiver that is setup with the same dish and collects over 800 channels from 110 and 119. The only difference in the hardware is the 2 new LNBs and dish location. This Dish is about 200 meters away from the other location. I have no problem with Echo 10. I have switched the 2 LNBs so I know they both will pick up 110 (but niether will Pick up 119) I have tried 3 different 4 in 1 DISEqC switches and all of the ports. I have turned off the power to the 110 LNB and Lose all those channels (of course) If I turn to a channel for example: 138 TNT 12326 20000 H 5/6 signal = 88 Quality = 98 No Video or Audio Viewsat Plat Lite 090111 Bin 4 in 1 super mini DISEqC SW (viewsat) ² LAVA D-200N DSS Dual LNBF IF 12.20-12.70GHz Lo 11.25GHz NF 0.5dB Gain 55dB Dish 500 Dish Settings Echo 7 119 LNB Power ON LNB Type Universal LNB High 11250 LNB LO 9750 TP FREQ 12224 DiSEqC 1.0 Motor OFF Legacy SW None Sig 81 QUality 86 I know it is going to be somethiong simple... Can anyone tell me why I am not seeing 119 channels?

Kayoss Silver Member Username: Kayoss Post Number: 101 Registered: Feb-08	Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 00:35 GMT Make sure you are not using TP1 when trying to get 119. It does not broadcast on the first transponder. Try TP4.
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 20 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 16:17 GMT All E10 110 channels ok. DISCqE Switch is working. Same antenna settings for 110 and 119 except ports I still cannot get any E7 119 channels i try to scan TP 12501 signal 87 quality 91 scan comes back "failed" Nothing should be this hard. Any Ideas?
Nalin Nyda Platinum Member Username: Nydas Post Number: 13876 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 17:17 GMT Did you try changing the LNB type?
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 21 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 18:36 GMT Yes I have tried every type listed. good signal good quality on standard universal legacy, ocs-dp. it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Do a blindscan the a autoscan on both satellite. Reply with the result.
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 22 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 22:14 GMT OK Plymouth or Nalin you are both very helpful and I appreciate it. Factory default factory bin sat info bin 090111 Same result. I do see this in antenna setup. Echostar 10 is locked in in upper right corner but echostar 7 is not. Does this info come from the sat? does this mean the dish is misaligned? I would think that if I have such a strong signal on 110 i would be very close to 119.
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 7004 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 23:34 GMT WOW Joel Try on this strong TP 12486. If it not work, we will try another solution.
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 23 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 23:44 GMT I have tried channel scan TP 12501 TP 12414 TP 12384 NOW TP 12486 Does vs ultra lite plat have blind scan? Auto scan gets me all the 110 channels that I used to get. Still nothing from 119.
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 7005 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 23:49 GMT Joel Where you take the bin?
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 24 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 23:57 GMT ftahq same file working on another receiver at another location, and gets me ppv off 110.
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 25 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Thursday, January 15, 2009 - 23:59 GMT The factory bin and sat file came from viewsatusa yesterday
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 26 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 00:00 GMT I also took out the switch and went directly to my 119 LNB and get the same result. No 119 channels
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 27 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 00:19 GMT I have brought another VS PLAT from another location that is using the same LNBs and DIsh. It is not locking in 119 here either. This tells me the problem has to be out at the dish. tomorrow I will bring the LNBs from that dish and see what happens. I can't believe that my LNBs can only pick up 110. But I guess anything is possible.
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 7007 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 00:30 GMT Sorry Joel I,m come back. List your dish and LNB please? Is it a Dp dish and LNBs?

Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 7014 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 20:55 GMT Joel switch 2 cables on this LNB and see if it work.
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 29 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 21:29 GMT Switched the cables. same problem both LNBs good signal and quality only get channels on 110 no 119 channels
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 7016 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 21:49 GMT Joel Switch wire from 110 to 119 and see if it work. If it work your LNB is broken.
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 30 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 22:06 GMT I have 2 LNBs on a yoke. Each LNB has 2 ports. I can get echostar 8,10 110 on all of the four ports. But I cannot get echostar 7 119 on any of the four ports. It has me baffled.
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 7017 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 22:26 GMT Joel Unhook all wires on both LNBs and connect your receiver on LNB without any switch and see if it work.
The Coders Gold Member Username: The_coders Post Number: 1714 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 22:35 GMT Sounds like the dish is out of line, nothing is showing for sat in upper rite corner of yor 119 pic.
reach honey Silver Member Username: Reach_honey Post Number: 116 Registered: Mar-05	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 22:50 GMT Joel, For me on my 119, TP freq is 12239 and not 12224. If you change that then you will see lock of 119 otherwise not. Save it and do blind scan. It would work
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 33 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 23:10 GMT this is straight to LNB no switch. great signal and quality. No picture No channels. You are right it is not showing the satellite in the upper right hand corner. even though the S & Q is strong. There is a Cellular Tower about 100 meters to the south. Not in the line of sight, But can that be giving me false 119 Signals? Even though Echostar 10 110 comes in perfect?
The Coders Gold Member Username: The_coders Post Number: 1715 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 23:15 GMT you have no 119 quality at all , thats from 110 or 101 ?
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 34 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 23:22 GMT Akron, Ohio 40° 55' N 81° 26' W You say That I am Pointed at 110 Ok so standing behind my dish Facing South. Which way should I turn the dish to get closer to 119? To my Right or to my Left?
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 7019 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 23:27 GMT Joel I think that you get Direct TV 101W and you get 110 with bad side LNB
Joel Bronze Member Username: Joel16 Post Number: 35 Registered: Jan-09	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 23:41 GMT Now that is making sense!

Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 7020 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 23:51 GMT Joel if you are in back of dish turn on your right and raise a very little.
Plymouth Gold Member Username: Plymouth Canada Post Number: 7021 Registered: Jan-08	Posted on Friday, January 16, 2009 - 23:59 GMT Coders you are a joker Coders correct his post and add 101 LOL
