Do you get the channels and it says scrambled or you do not even pick up the channels? If you are not picking up any channels, make sure you have all the TPs for each sat. If you do have the TPs, then see if you can scan one TP.

You can go to lyngsat.com and select 110 and 119 to see TPs and channels available on each TP.

If you have disecq switches, remove them and connect each LNB directly to the receiver and scan.

tobby2k8 · August 27th, 2008

no i dont picking up those channels at all.
I only have one tv, visiosat 200pvr plus, ane one DN-500
What scan one TP mean and how do i do that?

Motothrasher · August 27th, 2008

I have those settings also I have the elevation setup and scew and az but the **** thing is really jumpy any ideas Echo star 8 is golden but 7 reminds me of an ex girlfriend

**jpeterson** · August 27th, 2008

Do you have a "manual scan" option in your channel scan options? I don't have your type of receiver, so I don't know what your menu looks like. See if you can find where you can manually scan the sat, then look to see what TPs you have. TPs are transponders and you should see a list starting with 12224, then 12239 etc. Can you check to see if you have all the TPs listed for each sat?
