how many eyes on the lnb

[zingan805]

four. is one line good?

[bigevil69]

if it looks like this then all you need is one cable

[zingan805]

looks similar too that but not sure it has the dp on it. So the guy that installed my dish got only connected one line from a1 and also connected another line from b1 but b1 is not connected. I wanted to know how I can get more channels from this one line, think i missing 119? do I need to add this bird? explain

[bigevil69]

what settings do you have in your menu

[zingan805]

lnb power on
lnb type legacy twin lnb2
lnb freq 11250
22khz off
tp freq 12224
diseqc1.0 port 2
motor off
legacy sw none

[zingan805]

should i get a sw-21 to connect the other b1 line?

[bigevil69]

if it does not have the dp on it then use these settings

EchoStar 7 119.0W
LNB Power ON
LNB Type STANDARD/legacytwinlnb1
LNB Freq. 11250
22KHz OFF
TP Freq. 12239
Diseqc 1.0 none/off
Motor OFF
legacy sw sw21 lnb1

EchoStar 6,8 110W
LNB Power ON
LNB Type STANDARD/legacytwin2
LNB Freq. 11250
22KHz OFF
TP Freq. 12224
Diseqc 1.0 none/off
Motor OFF
legacysw sw21 lnb 2

[zingan805]

so then do i need to connect the b1 line to the sw-21 switch to do what you just told me? And why is it working now for half the channels with the diseq 1.0 port 2 section and your saying to change it to none? Just dont wanna lose all

[bigevil69]

it has a built in switch

and if you do lose them by changing it all you have to do is change it back

[zingan805]

i see. so when i go to antenna set up I need to add both settings and save ? and do I have to switch from one sat to another? sorry for lame questions. new to this

[bigevil69]

no you don't have to switch sats but if you only scanned 1 sat then you will need to scan the other one

[zingan805]

wow ok scan is new word. how do I do this and what are steps? Dont remember even scanning the first sat
