setting up my STB

[hvagish]

I got my Captive works 600S premium. Itried to set up according to the manual which is
Satellite Name-1.0echostar1,2 (148W)
Transponder - 12224/V/20000/auto
LNB Frequency - 11250
22KhZ - Off
Diseqc Number - LNB1
Motorized system - None
When I pressed "OK" for these setting then it opened another window which said "IS IT FTA CHANNELS ONLY" and I clicked "NO"
I scanned 103 channels but I was not able to see any channels. Which ever channel I go it said "It is a scrambled channel"
My dish was fixed my DISHNETWORK and I have their LNB and their Dish setting.

you need to 119 and 110. set up both of those sats and diseq port 1 is 119 and 110 is port 2. also post the type of dish and lnb you have.

If the dish was installed by DN, most probably it is aimed at 110/119
Try scaning those sats instead of 148.
Also, what type of LNB do you have? The 2 "eye" LNB or the single "eye" LNB?

Here is a guide to Scan your Satellites thanks to arbor!!!!

Connect your sat cable to your receiver and hook up your receiver to your TV set. You can scan Single or Multiple satellites for channels at the same time.
Single Satellite search can be done by going to:
Main Menu -> Installation -> Antenna Setup -> Select the satellite you want to scan for channels and press “Red” key on your remote
Here are typical Configuration settings for a DSS LNB

Antenna Setting

Satellite name 22 Echostar 6,8 (110W) satellite name 119
Transponder 12224 / V / 20000 / 5 / 6 same
LNB Freq 11250 same
LNB Type Normal unless dp same
22 KHz Off same
Diseqc Number LNB2 number 1
Legacy SW Off same
Motorized System None same

You can use “Legacy switch” by changing it to “SW21 Dish1” and changing Diseqc Number back to NONE.
-After you have done changing the configuration according to your setup press “RED” key on you remote. It will start scanning all of the channels for that particular satellite.
-You can also access Blind Scan feature from the same screen by pressing “Yellow” key from your remote.
-If you want to scan only one transponder then press “Blue” key from your remote.

Multiple Satellites Scan
You can scan maximum 4 satellites at a same time using easy tuning feature available in New OSD
Main Menu -> Installation -> Easy Tuning
Here is a typical setup for multiple satellites using Easy Tuning feature:

Status Satellite name Diseqc LNB Freq

OnEcho 3LNB1 11250
On Echo 6,8LNB2 11250
OnEcho 7LNB3 11250
OnNimiq 1,3LNB4 11250


To go from Status to Satellite name scroll down until you see Satellite name field get highlighted then use right/Left key to change satellite you want scan; now scroll down again until you get to Diseqc switch setting change it to whatever your switch setting; scroll down to LNB Frequency setting and change it to appropriate frequency.

After you have finished configuring all Satellites press OK key using right or left press “Fast Tuning” or “Auto Tuning” system will start scanning all of the satellites one by one.

To watch Scrambled channels you must Enable the patch
Exit all menus, Press F1 key; the LED will display 'H', then press '000'

I am new to FTA. The type of dish and LNB that I have is the normal dish that Dishnetwork installs. They have installed 2 dish on top of my roof.I think one is facing 110 and the other is 119.

[bel71281]
