Hi folks,

I am having an issue that I hope you can resolve for me. I will give as much info as possible.

I had a Dave dish and lnb on my roof which I pointed to Echo 8 and recevied great Signal and Qulaity numbers. I've been watching the channels all week. I have also updated to the latest fix, so this morning evrything was fine.

I have now gone out and purchased a second lnb in order to pick up echo 7 as well. Before I installed the new lnb, I went on the roof and locked signal with echo 7. I was getting a signal of 93 and a quality of 70 and in the grey area of dish settings I had echo 7. I then locked evrything down tight.

I then went and insatlled the second lnb along with the switch that came with the receiver when I bought it. I have the new lnb pointing to echo 7 and connected to port 1 on the switch. The old lnb is now beside the new one in a bracket I purchased specfically to pick up these two birds. I connected it to port 2.

I then came in the house and placed the following settings for the dis:

Sat 7
lnb type single
lnb freq 11250
22 khz off
lnb power on
transponder 12224
search all
network search on
diseqc Port 1
motor disable
leg switch off

Sat 8
lnb type single
lnb freq 11250
22 khz off
lnb power on
transponder 12224
search all
network search on
disceq port 2
motor disable
leg switch off

One thing to note, when I did the channel scans, I had set echo 7 to have a trasnponder freq of 12239, but whenver I go back to the settings, it is at 12224.

So I scanned echo 7 fiorst, and saved the list. Went and checked and I had all of the channels that I didn't have before. I then scanned echo 8.

My issues are as follows:

I am not receiving any signal on echo 8. The channels are showing up on the list, but when I select the channel, it comes up No Sevice or Scrambled.

Also, I have a whole bunch of duplicate channel numbers in the guide.

How do I go about having service for all of the channels from echo 7 and echo 8, without having duplicate channels. First I need to get service from echo 8, then i would like to not have any duplicate channels.

Should I have done a factory reset file after I installed the new lnb??
Are my settings incorrect?

I am a newbie at this, so I hope somoeone can help out.

Sorry for the long post, I know the more info provied, the easier it is for you experst to diagnois.

Thanks in advance for your help.
