Did I just fry my reciever???!!!

[I_am_Ironman]

Here is a newbie bonehead move for ya. Found this great site (here) got all motivated to get this going. (bought receiver 6 months ago) Take it out of the box, I have a Sonic View 360 Premier, swap the old ant. wire from tv (too far for DTV) to receiver, hook up old d500 with Dish plus LNB, oooooh the excitement builds!!!! Cant figure out why I get a mild signal with the dish not even connected. Realize I have an inline power booster for the old ant. Take out power booster. Not even a blip on the signal meter. Well..................Did I fry it? I pulled the cover looking for a fuse. Not there.

What are your dish settings? and what sat is your dish pointed at?

[bigevil69]

first make sure you have it hooked to lnb in(esy mistake to make)
setup antenna settings in menu(below is an example)

360 setup
119/echo 7:
LNB type: OCP-DP
LNB frequency: 11250
22khz.: off
LNB power: on
transponder : 12239

search options: all
network search: on
Diseqc : port 1
motor: disable
legacy switch: off


110/echo 8,x:
LNB type: OCP-DP
LNB frequency: 11250
22khz.: off
LNB power: on
transponder : 12224

search options: all
network search: on
Diseqc : port 2
motor: disable
legacy switch: off

make sure correct sat pops up in top right corner

The dish should be pointed at the original Dish site. I checked 119 and 110 when I ran a scan. It check all the The scan checked 21 transponder settings and the LNB says 11250.

[I_am_Ironman]

The transponder type allows only single, universal, or OCS

what file did you load to the receiver

[I_am_Ironman]

I have not loaded anything yet.

[tb1971]

Files you need to load if you haven't already are:
1 http://www.abadss.com/forum/323-sv80...xed010809.html
2 http://www.abadss.com/forum/960-sv-3...xed010809.html
3 if you have an ihub you will need this file:
http://www.abadss.com/forum/960-sv-3...xed010809.html
Load in this order, then set your setting as listed by BigEvil69, then scan your sats.

I went and downloaded the zip files but when I try to unzip is says the files are not complete zip files. Do most newbies have this many headaches?
Thanks

[I_am_Ironman]

Hi

i believe you will be very happy with it

[I_am_Ironman]

I want to thank you all. You helped me up after tripping over my first hurdle. Currently my reciever says I am reading USB, it has been saying that for about 10min. I will keep trying to find that sat as soon as I get this stuff loaded.
