hello im nichole and i have just moved to a new location, not even 10 miles away, anyway, all i can get in is 8.6echo. by the way i have a pansat 2700a. my sats are 7echo and 8.6 echo or 110 and 119 west. w have tried everything!! any advice or tips?? please and thank you.hagd
need to know if you are using disq. switch, also need to know your anrenna setting . If you do not know how you get into your setting try following this steps
Satellite Setup. Note : I removed the SW21 then I connected my Dish 500 Duel legacy LNB 119 cable to the LNB1 of the DISEqC, then I connected my LNB 110 cable to the LNB2 of the DISEqC switch. The FTAs are not compatible with SW21s. 19). Goto the Installation Option, enter "0000" for p*********word 20). Goto the Antenna setup Option, 21). Select satellite you want (birds Echo8.6/Ku at 110W and Echo7/Ku at 119W are the Dishnet birds), press the OK button. DO NOT select more then one satellite if you only have one satellite. 22). LNB Type: select "Standard" 23). LNB Local-Freq: enter "11250" 24). 22kHz: OFF 25). See above note: DiSeqC: 0, if you have two lnbs on the dish or two dish then change it to the correct lnb #1, #2, so on... 26). Skew: 45 27). TP: leave it as is 28). Check the Level= highest as you can, and Quality= highest as you can (adjust the dish slightly to improve the signal strength) 29). If you get no quality level on these transponders, try others before giving up. Not all transponders are transmitting all the time. MAKE SURE THE CABLE IS PLUGGED INTO THE "IF INPUT" PORT ON THE BACK OF THE RECEIVER! Plug the other end directly into the LNB on your Dish. 30). Readjust your dish if you still not getting any quality signal 31). Press the Exit button, press OK to save setting
well ranjeet, yes i have but he tells me to twek the sat till i get a signal. justice, i have all the signal in the world but i can not get any channels that r different (i have all my local but most of my movie channels willl not come in) my locals are on 8.6 and my movie are on 7...i can't gets 7ku channels at all they just repeat. and yes i checked the ports....lol. thanks justice.
My guessing is that if you have 2 LNB's you are using the wrong LNB to point to 8.6, that means that you have to check your dish orientation, even if you are using a twin LNB you will also have to recheck your dish alignment, move it a little bit to west and see what happens, it can take a while to realign dish properly.....
If channels repeat that means that the signal you are receiving is not from echo 7 but from echo 8.6, also need to check the settings just to be sure both sats are not pointing to the same Diseqc input.....
