I just got mu Ultra lite today and i CAN NOT get it set up right. I am new to FTA so i tried to follow a guide and i did get sat 119. I tried to go back and get 110 and now i can't get either one!! I was hoping you guys would know where i could find a step by step guide for this set up?
I have finally got 119 back on. but i know i'm not getting all of the channels. I have tried to get 110 but no luck with that one. I followed a guide but when i try for 110 i screw up 119. I have a Superdish that was installed when i bought my system. My DN receiver had no problem getting a signal on 119 or 110 so i'm thinking i'm not doing something right with the Ultra Lite}}.
I don't have any port named on the LNB option. I'm really concerned right now with trying to bring in 119 as i am missing ALOT of channels. I did check my skew and it is right. When i had my DN hooked up i never had any signal problems so i think i don't have an LNB set right or some thing like that.}
You need to designate a switch setting for each LNB you are using. Either inspect your equipment, or cycle through the switch settings in your antenna setup menu. When you change a setting and you see a different sat ID pop up in the top right corner of the screen, you have found the setting for that LNB/sat.
For 119 or 110, LNB type is either Standard or OCS-DP (dishpro), not Universal. You can look at the LNB(s) to see if there is a "DP" logo, meaning DishPro. If no DP logo, type is Standard.
IF he were using one of those funky LNBs, the LO frequency would be 10750.
But the OP says "I have a Superdish that was installed when i bought my system. My DN receiver had no problem getting a signal on 119 or 110" ... meaning it was a DN install, if I understand correctly, so not using the funky LNB.
hey repo...I know of a "plymouth" that needs a repo...he hasn't paid his dues yet....looks like ya got him on the hook and starting to drag him away...and he's falling apart....LOL
You guys have been a really big help! Many many thanks to you guys for all the advice. I Had the LNB port set wrong. I switched it to the DishPro setting and now have lots more channels. And i now can get 110' very well. The only other thing that i can't figure out is i am STILL missing a few channels I think on 119'. I don't get MTV, FUSE, HISTORY CHANNEL and DISNEY. Is there something i can try to fix this or is this pretty much all i'm gonna get??
Yes, Nalin mostly correct for a DishPro twin LNB, the diseqc settings are 119=1 and 110=2.
Selecting "none" will use the default setting of whichever port the coax is connected to. So, if connected to the port under the 119 side, setting 110 to "none" will default to 119, not the desired sat selection. (On a Quad LNB, with 4 output ports, the ports default to 1=119, 2=110, 3=119, 4=110).
In this thread, the OP stated that he has a Superdish, but we have yet to hear what the LNB configuration actually is. DishPro twin? Is another LNB connected? DN 118/119 LNB with separate outputs and 110 DP LNB connected to DP34? In this case, any LNB can be connected to any port.

I have 2 other LNB's that look different. 1 is oval in shape and the other is skinny and come to a sharp point. This system is a Dealer installed DISH NETWORK SUPERDISH. I have not changed anything outside on the dish. It is the same as the day they installed it. I have tried setting 119' to port 1 and 110' to port 2 but i can't get a signal on port 1 for 119'. i can only get a signal for 119' on port 3.
"getting some channels" - Are you sure you are getting 119 channels attaching to Port 3 or are you getting some locals from an antenna. - or stated differently, you have 119 and 110 - what is the third LNB?
Nalin I think the 3rd LNB is for sat 61.5 ?? which i have not botherd to program yet. It has to be 119' channels i'm getting with port #3 because i don't get a signal with any other port.
1. Please name the TPs you see on your "119" - also some chanels. 2. Are you able to visually trace the actual wire from the 61.5 LNB and see where you are connecting to the DP34?
LIFETIME, E!, A&E, SCI-FI, WE, FX, TNT, HBO W, CINEMAX E, MOREMAX. I am missing a few HBO's as well. I just notced i can also use PORT 4 for 119' and it has the same quality as PORT 3. Is this the TPs you need?
There is still a little confusion. You have DP34 Switch. It does NOT have an input port 4, only 1,2,and 3. All outputs ports 1,2,3,4 should give identical output. That is not the issue at all. TP freq is a bit higher up in the Antenna menu. That should be 12239 as you have. Further down you should have a list of TPs your are scanning. They would show up if you attempt to do TP scan.

It is indeed a superdish, not retrofitted, and has 3 single LNBs. It is either (originally) for sats 121-119-110 or 119-110-105.
As single LNBs, they can be connected to any input port on the DP34 switch. Sounds like 119 LNB is connected to port 3, and suggests that the installer connected 105=1, 110=2, 119=3.
While waiting for Mike's input, I must comment that concern remains as to why he can't get 110 (is that true?) and why he is not getting all the 119 channels.
I think Mike said above he gets 110 quite well, but notices some missing channels on 119. There is likely missing on 110 as well. Perhaps previously scanned them with standard LNB setting, so needs to factory default, setup as OCS-DP Lnb type, then rescan.

You are correct Repo. There is NOTHING on port 1. it is dead for all sats. This is for 105' i think. I have got it up and running now and i am getting ALL channels on 119' and 110'. You guys are great and thanks so much for the help. here is how i got it to work. I hope this can help someone else...
