I have 2 boxes, both xtremes
my upstairs box gets TBS ch 139 and MASN ch 432 but my downstairs box when I go to those channels says searching for signal and the channel doesnt come thru.
Both are hooked up to the same dish so Im wondering if anyone can help me with what it wrong with my downstairs box/ signal.

Both have same antenna set up

LNB Freq 11250
22 khz off
TP Freq 12224
Diseq Port 2 for Echo 7 119 and port 3 for echo 8110
Motor Off
Legacy SW None

I think its a tone burst that helps with that dish 500 it should be a option in your diticq switch settings.....the trouble here is that LNB is not FTA friendly. I have heard some have to connect a old DN receiver to the lnb as well to get the correct voltage to that switch inside the LNB....keep playing with settings likke the tone burst and you may get it...

the dishpro lnb is VERY friendly, u must be thinking of the dishpro plus lnb. That one is tricky with the pansat 2700's i know, but works fine with the vs.

oh ok dantetn I can see that now clearly by rereadeing how easy it has been for that user to get it to work........

Just because your little set up works does not mean it will for them. One of the most frustrating things to hear when somthing is giving you trouble is "well it works great for me" or " I had no trouble with it" that does not help.....I am here spending my time to help others not be frustrating..

I am just telling u u gave her wrong info. It wont work that way... I am telling u this so u wont tell others to try something that doesnt work. And my little set up is the ONLY set up with a dish pro lnb getting 110 and 119.

DN have been sending ECM codes that causes conflicts to 110/119 polarity or any 2 sats connected on a generic switch

I have been experimenting with various switches
Many times even if got right keys
It forces autoroll search to VS

Part of the hardware ECM
Many VS receivers will face this issue

I don't have a motorized dish
But same (one byte code) can cause motor to point to wrong sat (VERY NASTY)

anyway, maybe u should read up on the "little set ups" before u help people with them.

king, other recievers do that too as long as The channels are already scanned in. Its not a target on vs

I'd say it's about time you start backing all these allegation up.

1) how is DN accessing the flashrom on the viewsat to modify it to process these ECM.

2)can you produce a decrypted stream capture
with specific system calls proprietary to the
viewsat to back this up.

FTA, a dish 500 can have ANY lnb's on it man. They dont come standard with one or the other.
