Ariza Xtreme Satellite Receiver

Standard Elliptical Dish Antenna

2 DSS Circular Dual LNB’s

3-LNB bracket / holder

RCA Audio/Video Cable

RGB Component Cable

Remote Control

Manual

RS232 Null Programming cable

One 4x1 DiSEqC switch

soo yea. i hooked it all up and i was able to get a signal, but when i autoscan- i get no results. i tried to get to the key uploader menu- and it doesnt pop up. i have one wire coming from each of my dual lnb's, do i need 2 wires connected to each lnb? im coming out of central cal does anyone know anything that would help?

You need to flash your receiver with the latest bin. Go here for all the file you need:

ok- i updated my xtreme and now i need to input keys? i know how to get in it, but i see "viaccess, irdeto/betacrypt, nagravision, seca, conax, BISS, cryptoworks." which one do i input keys for? i have 2 key programs i downloaded- keyripper and nagra keygrabber.

i initially went into nagravision- but the available amount of characters for the "key" is shorter than the keys posted.

Thanks for the quick reply!

**arboristman** · May 10th, 2007

you dont see nagravision 2 ?
did you load the latest bin?

dcdemon813 · May 10th, 2007

as far as the key goes- i went into the nagravision and entered the information like this :

010100 08 B846822D29B62587
010100 09 8CB1631524650D8A
010100 88 53B15AD5D0FD538C
010100 89 6F195FDEBF78808E

does that look right?

as far as BIN. i loaded the newest .sgn- is that what u are talkin about?

ok- so i hooked up the ariza to my moms already hooked up dish net. it now has a signal- but i cannot view anything, only the PPV preview channel. it keep s saying, "standby... downloading." i now know that im pointing my dish incorrectly- but why wont it work on dishes that are already setup?
(i thank the ppl who are helping me with this by the way!)

**arboristman** · May 11th, 2007

you just have to put those keys in with that guide.

dcdemon813 · May 12th, 2007

alrighty. im getting more frustrated with all of this. so i try to setup my dish once more. i used a satellite finder. i believe i found the right one. i have updated my software and have inputed the new keys. i still get nothing. i did take my ariza extreme to a place where the satellites were all setup and all i got was a preview channel to PPVs. i brought the unit back home and re-directed my dish where the ones were pointed at where i tried out the unit. it still maybe possible i am not pointing the dish correctly. what else could be a factor? and if i am incorrectly pointing the dish- is there someone or a company i can call to set it up for me?

thanks everyone

Get a compass and use this site tool >> Satellite look-angle calculator

**woodcreeker** · May 14th, 2007

Your mom's dish was more than likely already pointed properly. You simply needed to run one cable from the back of the receiver to one port on the LNB if it is a dual eyed lnb.

The problem is lying in the proper antenna setup for her dish.

Now, we need to know which LNB she is using.

If it is a dish pro LNB, you need to setup echo 7 as port 1 or A. Echo 8 as port 2 or B. Then you auto scan each satellite.

If it is a dual LNB that does not say Dish Pro, it has to be set up as a Legacy LNB. Legacy dish 1 is echo 7, Dish 2 is echo 8. Then auto scan each satellite.

If you have 2 single LNBs on the dish 500, then you use the included diseqc switch to hook both lnbs to the receiver. The 119w and 110w on the y yoke will guide you to proper hookup and antenna setup if you think about it. Then auto scan each satellite.

Good Luck !!

thanks everyone! now im getting signal on my system- the programing guide is slowly showing channel listings- i am not showing channels though- do they load after the channel guide populates... or??? thanks again everyone! im getting closer and closer to getting this thing working with everyones help and knowledge!

dcdemon813 · May 15th, 2007

one more thing- i see channel listings now- but when i click on a channel i get "standby... download!" what does that mean?

**woodcreeker** · May 15th, 2007

Hit menu button find channel guide and download it. It takes a while, like a minute and a half, then you good for quite awhile. I don't have an Ariza Extreme, so I would not know. Probably 7 days.

dcdemon813 · May 16th, 2007

so far ive done everything. but i still get the "standby... download!" ive entered the keys- ive flashed my receiver- i have good signal, and all i get is NASA and PPV preview and the adult guard channels. i do get program guides on some of the channels though. Is there anything else i may have forgotten?

dcdemon813 · May 18th, 2007

THANKS EVERYONE AGAIN! I GOT IT WORKING!

lets run through it if you new like me.

1: get properly setup! dont buy a digital compass- use a real one! the post with how to aim the dish is very good in this thread!

2: make the proper connections! plug everything in correctly! trust me- ull look like an idoit if everything isnt setup right.

3: for the ariza extreme- make sure u get the lastest .sgn file and use the loader tool! this was my problem! i used an older .sgn

4: use these message boards! it helped me a lot!

(im skippin the scanning and what not, but read through this thread- itll help!)

**woodcreeker** · May 18th, 2007

Just a note...

Glad to hear everythings up.

Read all the posts you can on your particular receiver. The knowledge will help you with future problems and issues.

Find Echostar Package with remote like a sat button or in the menu and that will put your channels in the proper dishnet order.

Good luck to you in your new hobby !!
