The Sat's for bev are 82 and 91, I would recommend getting another Dish, with Quad LNB, If the DTV is multi ( 3 LNB ), it is pretty difficult to hook up...

Nimiq 1 (91W) is better. It is located 20 degrees more to the east, and about 4 elevation points higher than Echo 8, just so you have a rough reference.

All you have to do is go into the antenna setup menu, select Nimiq 1, change diseqc switch port it is going to be wired to, and aim it in. Then do a blind scan -> all for Nimiq 1.

Good Luck !!

that should do it thanks

Usually put 119 on port 1, 110 on port 2 and 91 on port 3
91 is the way to go.

does it matter

[RICKSBEACH]

No not really but its a good practice to future references.

I would recommend wiring Echo 7 to port #1, Echo 8 to port #2, and Nimiq 1 to port #3. A Dish 500 with a Dish Pro LNB has an internal DiSEqC switch and that is how it is wired internally.

I always recommend this wiring scheme to provide for consistancy for switch wiring. Of course your antenna settings will have to reflect this in your antenna setup.

If everyone is wired that way, it helps us for problem solving. Of course it doesn't matter, otherwise, unless a port is fried out in the switch. Always turn off power on back of receiver when wiring LNBs, as there is power coming out of the receiver out to the LNBs. You could fry a port your entire switch or worse, fry your receiver if you are not careful with this.

Good Luck !!
