Trying to Scan for Satelittes, have a Dish Pro LNB, and Panstat 3500SD. When going into advanced scan, it only finds Horizontal frequencies and not Vertical
-- Antenna Setup Settings ---
LNB type = Dish=Pro
LNB Local-Freq = 11250
22KHz = OFF
DisCEq = #1
Legacy SW = None
Skew = 45
TP - can change to anything to see signal streingth
Positioner Settings = Disable

----- I go to Advanced Satelitte Scan --- Loking for Nogin Freq 12414
Down Frequency = 12414
Symbol Rate = 20.000 Msps
Polarity = Horiziontal, when I change to Vertical, I do not get any siginal

I suspect that is why I am not getting some channles, like Nogin

Tried Blind Scan - Horizontal, begins with a line and adds little blocks on top of the line, and I get about 30% of the line covered with blocks, extreme left and extreme right, no coverage in the middle, only found 36 transponders
Vertical - Exact same layout (coverage) as Horizontal

I believe U definitely may need to tweak the alignment...

BTW...u should do says scans too with NO switches connected, and shut off the other LNB's , while scanning each satellite...But U don't say what sats or receiver U are using and wanting...and your antenna settings don't indicate which sats

My Panstat 3500SD receiver is connected directly to the LNB. Dishpro Digital LNBF model BS1B2UP201M, no switches used

Hey,paul
Some Receivers have Advaned Scan
others have Blind Scan, same deal.

Try this

A) On your DiSEqC Switch try #2
B) Scan TP only on Freq. 12414
Anyone of the above didn't work then,
align your Dish.

Hey, paul
Now you are saying NO switch used,
OK, on your settings listed at the top
DiSEqC =#1 change #1 to OFF.
EchoStar 7 has only 21 TPs
You are saying that you are getting 36DFreq.
What do you mean by that?

I have 75 different DFreq[MHz] Horizontal and Vertical, Listed in TP Scan for Echo 7/Ku

I don't understand Your 36DFreq.
When I Do a blind scan I get only 36 blocks above the line... it seems that I am only picking up some of the satelitte and not all of it.
