Can get Echo8/10, but not Echo7 or Echo5
I have a CNX mini. I'm using DishNetwork 500 with dual lnb. When I scan, I'll get most channels for Echo8/10, but none for Echo 7, or Echo5. What am I doing wrong?

Yes, tried scanning separately as well. Also, I know I'm not getting all the channels on Echo8/10 because. Is this also due to satellite not being aligned? The signal on Echo8/10 sometimes faded as well.

have u recently put up the dish? have u used it to view all the listed sats before? it sounds like an alignment issue or if u did a factory reset your settings may be off.

Dish was installed over 8 years ago. I'll try to move it around a little. I was able to view all available channels back then with a DishNetwork receiver and not FTA receiver. Thanks for your help doerksen.

Re: Can get Echo8/10, but not Echo7 or Echo5
You said that your using a Dual Lnb. It that case thats only 1 lnb. You either need a Twin legacy or 2 single Lnbs. And like doerksen said you need to use the diseqc switch that came with your mini. In my experince with minis and duos, I usually use single lnbs and works great. I have tested Twin Legacy and Twin Dish Pros Lnbs and usually I don't pick up all the channels. Using single Lnbs like the single DN Legacy Dual LNB or even a single DN Dish Pro works well.
