Hello I have two viewsat ultra receivers. One of the receivers works fine on echo 3 and echo 7. The other receiver works fine for echo 7 but not echo 3. I checked the antenna setup and it look fine....however, on top of the antenna setup over the echo 3 it indicates echo 7 when i change the TP freq it echo 7 disappears but for echo 3, but still no signal. The Freq for echo 3 is 12297.
Ech-st-3 TP freq 12297 is radio France Change to TP 12326 What kind of switch and how did yo set it? How did yo wire it? Yo either DISEqC port assignment is somehow crossed wrong Or favortite chan selection is stuck Or possible sat selection button is selected and yor not aware of it
Last night i was able to set up echo 3 and echo 7 and it worked for awhile. However, this morning I have no signal. I check all the cables. Just to mention one of my receiver works fine - the one i am having trouble with since yesterday worked fine before yesterday. Do you think the problem with the signal could the the cable attached to this receiver?
Jackie where is the Diseqc switch located ? Is it near the receivers or near the antenna ? If it is located near the antenna what is the length of cable between each receiver and the Diseqcs ?
Diseqc switches are prone to NOT functioning reliably if they are located far away from the receiver unit. They loose their status all of a sudden. Which sounds like your problem.
King is correct. You need to tell us more on your setup. What kind of Diseqc do you use ? Where are they located ? Length of cable etc...
Diseqc Switch is located outside my house - about 100 feet away from where my receiver is located inside. The name on the Diseqc Switch says Viewsat on it.
Where would i purchase proper Diseqc Switch for my receiver? Thank you Jackie
I don't think it will help changing the switch. It has to be physically close to your receiver to work reliably.
What about your other receiver. The one that is working correctly. Does it also have a Diseqc switch located 100 feet away or is it closer to the receiver ? Is is the same brand of Diseqc ?
It is a Diseqc Switch and it is outside approximatly 100 feet away, however, it is protected from the weather. The troubled one is visiable to the weather elements. We have had lightning,rain,wind etc fro the past few days -? Should I get these switchs moved inside the house opposed to them being outside? thanks Jackie
It's me again - Help. I changed the DISEqC switch and still no echo 3 stations. Echo 7 is ok. when i go to echo 3 station it says auto rolling but under the bottom discription it says echo 7 not ech 3. I have checked the antenna set up and everything is fine - I than thought it maybe the receiver - so I took the receiver and installed it upstairs where my other Viewsat is working fine and the receiver works fine. What should i check next the cable from the dish going to this receiver. I am really lost and i am not techincal at all. thank you Jackei
Thank You for your response I did take the other receiver from upstairs and same thing happened. Both receivers work correct upstairs and both recievers do not work correct downstairs
Side Note - upstairs the receiver under the antenna setup has all the setting for echo 3 but right on top it says echo 7 and it won't go away.
Jackie Based on what I read and before yo change yor DISEqC I told yo yor switch wasn't the problem Post # 2867
Yo probably got mismatched ports Between yor wiring and antenna setup
List yor settings on each receiver List yor all yor hardware wirings I will get yo up and runing in few seconds Listening to 5 different won't help Yo wanna get up and runing yo list yor details And follow what I tell yo
Ok thanks King I am at work right now I will email you all the settings soon. The only silly question is which settings do you want from the antenna setup or from something else.
