Transponders....

[tattooz2005]

I have recently(this morning) updated my reciever. I can run a blind scan and get 32 transponders on both 7 and 8 ... when i try to set to the transponder thatis recieving 99% hit enter and then exit ..the reciever goes right back to a transponder that isnt recieving...and stays there. Therefore i am not getting any signal on any of the stations ... Any one oput there help me with this?

First you should never Blind Scan only auto or manual , some transponders are not used and if your not receiving all channels you may need to re-align your dish for a better signal

ok i have done this...but the signal keeps on coming in and out...does the fact i dont have the dish grounded make any difference in this matter??? I am just using coax from my dish to reciever ...do i need to ground the dish for good signal?

Ok Guys,
Thank You for the dish adjusting info ...very helpful
The problem it seem that i was having...your going to laugh
I had crossbred a DTV disk with a DN nosecone/mounting hardware .. at any rate it seems that the DTV dish wasnt compatable with th DN 1000 nose cone ..well i have since replaced the dish with the proper 1000 dish and viola ...no more trouble.
For future reference can you please tell me what pieces of which model dishes are interchangable?
Might Be nice to know if I (or any one else) ever needed to replace a part
