Ok so you have a Dish 500 with what type of LNB's? do you know (those are the things with the white eyes).

Like do you have two white eyes in a single housing? or just one white eye ... let me know what you have.

What SAT's are you wanting to scan 110 and 119?

BTW, are you replacing an existing DN receiver with the Nano? or did you just set the dish up today as well?

Creative Genius

[pillo1958]

its a dual lbn and i just set up the dish today

[pillo1958]

yea 110 and 119 i already have the scanned channels for both echostar8/10 and echostar7
i dont get visuals tho

[pillo1958]

its 2 lbns in a single housing

[creativegenius]

ok so in the menu for the unit there is an area where you put in all of the LNB settings for each of the SAT's you want to scan, so 110 and 119 in your case.

BTW - did you have the dish installed today by a dish installer or do it yourself?

i scanned for 110 and 119 and i did it myself both the signal and the quality are at 95

[creativegenius]

Check you ANT settings in your unit against these:

DISH 110
Sat Name: ******** 8/10
Transponder: 12224
LNB Type: OCS-DP
LNB Freq: 11250
Port 1
22K Off or None
Motor None


DISH 119
Sat Name: ******** 7
Transponder: 12239
LNB Type: OCS-DP
LNB Freq: 11250
LNB Power ON
Port 2
22K Off or None
Motor None

once i did the 12239 for the 119 my quality went to zero but my signal is still at 95

Here are some notes that should help you get the NANO set up perfectly:

c/p

Programming Via USB

* Download The NEWEST Factory BIN File
* Download The NEWEST Upgrade/Bin/FIRMWARE File
* Unzip/Extract Both Downloaded Files To Your Desktop
* Plug Your USB Drive/Thumbstick Into Your PC/Laptop/Computer
* Go To Start > My Computer And Find Your USB Drive/Thumbstick And Open It
* Now Hold Left Click Down And Drag Both Unzipped/Extracted Files To Your USB Drive/Thumbstick Window
* Once Transferred, You're Done At Your PC/Laptop/Computer

* Plug USB Drive/Thumbstick Into CNX Mini/Duo/Trio(TOP) Front USB Port Located Behind The Front Panels Right Hand Side Door
* Using Your Remote, Press The Menu Button
* Scroll Right To Utility
* Scroll Down To USB and press "OK" button from remote
* Select And Highlight The FACTORY File, Press OK, And Select The "BootLoader Upgrade" Option And Press OK Again
* After Reboot, Repeat Steps 10 And 11, And Select The Upgrade/BIN/FIRMWARE File (usually v2.?? / v3.??), Press OK, And Select The "S/W Upgrade" Option And Press OK Again
* Your Receiver Has Been Programmed :-)
*** note: An additional 3rd file *.EXX file (known as a patch file - the * name refers to and is the date of the file). If this is the case, repeat the same steps above (H-K) but load the patch file instead. There is no need to worry about the "bootloader upgrade" option or "s/w upgrade option", as there is no options available when loading the patch file. Patch file should be loaded LAST.

*** If you are unsure whether you should load a patch file or not, please check the forums ***


SCANNING


These are settings of what I use for DP (Dishpro) LNB's and Legacy (Non-Dishpro) LNB's

This is also how and what I use to scan every single time for both types of LNB's
Individual results will vary, but if you follow exactly, you should be good to go and scanning should go well


Dishpro

[creativegenius]

Check to make sure your Port info is set correctly.

Does you LNB housing have any writing on it like a DP or anything like that?

[pillo1958]

dpcs dish pro
and where do i find the port settings?

[creativegenius]

That's going to slow you down a bit, as you need to update the software on that unit ... then we can get you set up, no problem.
