Re: need help with channels

in sat setup on your box make sure you have 119 set to port 1, 110 set to port 2 & 129 set to port 3

Please list your sat setting also is the small lnb hooked to the large lnb (lnb in port)

Re: need help with channels

Have you made sure of your dish alignment? The reason you are getting multiples is from multiple scans. You should have your settings as follows:

Sat: 110, 119, 129
Power: On on all
freq: 11250 on all
22khz: Off on all
TP: 12224, 12239, 12224
Port: 110-2,119-1,129-3
Motor: Off on all
legacy: Off on all

Re: need help with channels

You only need one cable from the dish. Change your receiver settings: Port1 119, Port2 110, Port3 129. Give that a shot and post back.

Re: need help with channels

do not change the location of the cables, just change the settings in your receiver.

Re: need help with channels

make sure your settings are correct. Follow the ones that are posted above by landscape and M Thor. Make sure you do a regular scan not a blind scan. The blind seems to pull in lots of dups. In your settings you must get a confirmation on the top right hand corner that matches. For example echo 8 will say echostar 8 (110), echo 7 will say echostar 7 (119), echo 5 will say echostar 5 (129)

Re: need help with channels

Scan all. Once you get all your channels we will handle the multiple channels.

Re: need help with channels

To scan all you need to make a check mark next to the sats you want to scan. You can use your remote when scrolling thought the sat menu hit the little blue button on your remote. It will make a check, do this next to 119,110, and 129. Then scan all.

i have the Dishpro 1000 with 3 lnb and 1234 ports on it
the single lnb goes into the twin lnb "in". The twin has built in switch so it carries all 3 signals in each (out) cable. Run it straight to your reciever and adjust settings. Your diseqc 119#1 110#2 129#3

this is your dish right?
