try legacy twin lnb 1 for 119 on port 1, and you may have to turn on to sw 21dish 1

post back and then we can see about echo 8 on 110!

Re: cannot get antenna to set up

do what chill dawg said and turn on thesw dish 1 on and try that and then try the legacy lnb setting too .. i found it on the web and i looks like a circular like bev uses so it is either standard single or legacy try them with sw dish 1 on and it should work
