Hello friends: OK...here we go.
Load BIN:
Download bin 189 (or most current version) from this site & load it on your receiver. Forget about the channel or keys part of it...just load the bin (firmware) using the STB Tool (Loader). Be sure to unzip / extract / open files after download both Loader & Bin. (right click on icon) If you don't do this, you won't find Bin in Loader.
Factory Reset:
Next go to Menu hit OK...go down to System Setting...go over & down to DataBase Reset...hit OK...enter PIN "0000"...go down to Factory Set...hit OK...select YES...next select English. (now you have wiped unit clean to start over)
System Settings:
Next go to Menu on receiver...go down to System Setting...go over to Time Setting...hit OK...go down & turn ON Summer Time...Hit Exit 1 time & save it. This will allow the correct time to load for Channel Guide. (if where you live, you don't have daylight savings time, disregard this step).
Options:
Next go back up to Installation...hit right arrow...enter pin code "0000"...go down to Options...hit OK...leave all settings as they are...go all the way down to last option, Renumbering local CH...select your City & State for your local channels...save changes & hit Exit 1 time.
LNBs:
Go back up to Dish Setting...set up LNBs to work correctly, depending which LNBs you are using. (I use 2 Legacy Twins w/ SW-21 Switch or I use 1 Legacy Quad w/no switch...it's built in)
Dish Settings 110:
Satellite...........110.0W Echostar 6, 8
LNB Power.........ON
LNB Type..........Legacy Twin LNB1
LNB Freq...........11.250
22KHz...............OFF
DiSEqC Switch....1.0
Committed.........1
Legacy SW.........ON (OFF if you use 4X1 DiSEqC Switch for 2
Dishes / DN & BEV)
* After selecting these settings, you should see 2 full green bars & a window in upper right corner that should appear with (EchoStar 110 West).
Next go back up to Satellite & select 119.0 W Echostar 7.
Dish Settings 119:
Satellite............119.0W Echostar 7
LNB Power.........ON
LNB Type...........Legacy Twin LNB2
LNB Freq............11.250
22KHz................OFF
DiSEqC Switch.....1.0
Committed..........2
Legacy SW.........ON (same applies as above)
Verify Shift:
* Again, same as above but this time you should see (EchoStar 119 West).
* If you do not get the corresponding Satellite to appear in upper right corner, it will not get both Sats, so try changing settings until this works.
Now go back & select 110w to check if it switches...then do the same again for 119w. If these Sats shift correctly, proceed to next step. Exit 1 time to leave Dish Setting page.
Autoroll:
Go down to Autoroll Options...hit OK...everything should be ON...(if not change it) save changes & exit.
Auto Scan 110:
Now you are ready to scan the satellites. Go up to Auto Scan...hit OK...select (110.0 W Echostar 6, 8)...now hit OK 1 time to highlight Sat (be sure it is highlighted)...go right arrow...then up to Network Search...turn this ON (you will get more channels)...now go down to Scan & hit "Press OK" to start scan. (When scan is near complete note number of channels found.)
Auto Scan 119:
Next select 119.0 W Echostar 7...repeat last step above...Network Search should should still be ON...confirm this & begin scan.
* (Tip)...to be sure you get both Sats...go back to Dish Setting page & select 119 & check for 119 to appear in upper right corner to verify, prior to beginning this scan. (see: Verify Shift)
Notes:
After last scan is complete...hit exit 3 times (punch out) to return to TV. Sometimes it helps to select a low number channel near 100 to start with...wait 2-3 minutes. Also try this: Open Key Edit page by selecting 8282 with remote...wait 2-3 minutes, it should roll in. If not...try a unit reboot (power OFF...wait 10 seconds...Power ON). Still no TV...the problem will be keys. For this, check for current keys & enter them manually if all else fails.
I have had problems in past because I didn't verify current keys prior to scans. So if it seems not right, just go back & do another Factory Reset & start over again, after your sure about the keys.
It's good practice to repeat this process...you will be able to remember it better if you do it a few times.
Tips:
All info above is assuming you have the correct dish / LNBs / and the dish pointed & locked in correct position / correct switch (if needed). A good signal from a Satellite Meter is recommended. To be able to get both Sats you must have dish skewed to correct angle for your area. We have links for good Satellite Calculators. (This is an exact science...guesswork is for the lottery).

Hope this will help a lot of folks. It might not agree with all, but it works for me. I teach what works...not theory. Now get busy & watch free TV...SatelliteJunkie
