Need help with sat 110

[XplicitOne]

I just bought a Dish 500 system trying to point my dish. I have a Dish-Pro Digital LNBF with one output for 119 and one output for 110. I ran both lines to a DP34.

I locked on to Sat 119 with 85%. And trying to lock on to 110. I see settings for the transponder settings and such. I believe I have 119 in the 1st port on the dp34 and the 110 line on the 2nd port.

I figured 110 should be close to the same settings as 119 when pointing the dish. Maybe someone can give me some words of wisdom.


Thanks

Do you really need the switches?
110 should a hair to the east(your left). Sometime easier to get 110 first

go to menu-antenna settings and set up 119 like this

echostar 7 119w
trans 12239
LNB freq 11250
LNB type osc-dp
22khz 0ff
Diseqc number 1
legacy sw off
motor none

now look to the right side and make sure the correct sat pops up above the signal meter

if it does then it is just a matter of skewing the dish a little

From what I have been told I do. I have two receivers now and going to add another one in about a week.

[bigevil69]

yes if you want more than 2 receivers you will need the switch

if you could bypass it for now and just run a cable from lnb to receiver until we get you pointed right then that would be a big help

also let me know what happens with the post i made above

[XplicitOne]

Bigevil69 I have a 301 DN receiver. My menu just says dish pointing where I put in my zip. I clicked the 119 and set the transponder to 10. It says Locked 119 echostar west.

I then go to the 110 setting and it shows the same signal strength but says wrong sat.

Thanks

Ok so bypass the switch and go straight to the receiver. I was told thoe my lnb does not combine the 119 and 110 on the out put. I have a separate output for the 119 and 110. But I cant be certain. If I need to takes some pics I can if that helps.

[bigevil69]

that would help but i'm not sure if you can post them here since you are not a vip but check your pm and you can send them to me and i will post for you

[XplicitOne]

I will probably go ahead and su as vip in a few. I went ahead and ran the 110 line from the lnb to the receiver. I went to the 110 setup it shows 105 signal and says wrong sat.

[bigevil69]

take a look at these and see if you see your lnb there

Mine looks like the one top far right.

[bigevil69]

this one?

[XplicitOne]

No looks like this

[bigevil69]

ok run 1 cable from 119 side to port 1 on dp34 and 1 cable from 110 port to port 2 on dp34

run a cable from dp34 to lnb in port on receiver and go to antenna settings on your receiver

are you trying to setup the dn receiver or a fta receiver

[XplicitOne]

dn receiver

[bigevil69]

do you have a fta unit we can use to point with

[XplicitOne]

No I was waiting to see which fta I was going to go with.

[bigevil69]

ok i have not messed with setting up a dn receiver before i had their tech do it but will do the best i can to help you

is the dish skewed at all or not

[XplicitOne]

Yes it is skewed
