Attention all Viewsat users pointing to 118.7W

Attention all Viewsat users pointing to 118.7W


Thanks to the work of neneng, he has found a way for us to Not only receive but to view channels on 118.7

Apparently the Viewsat Coders decided to use EchoStar 9 to allow us to view 118.7 Channels.

As per suggested I tried the following at it did work.


For all members that are using the Special LNB for 118.7 - with a CB2008A LNB


Setting up the Antenna Settings:

Go to Menu, Installation, Antenna Setup

Setup for Echo 9 -121W
LNB Type: Standard
LNB Freq: 10750
****
TP Freq: 11715


Now you will not see TP freq: 11715. In order for the Receiver to find all Available TP freq for 118.7, make certain you Auto TP is ON.

Then do this:

Preparing the TP Frequecies for Echo 9 -121W:

Go to Menu
Channel Scan
Select EchoStar 9
Scroll down to Edit TP> OK

Now scroll thru the window and delete all the TP Freqs by pressing the [F3] Delete TP button.

Then, while in this window:

Press F1 for Add User TP

Enter:

TP freQ: 11715...S/R: 20000...Pol: V...FEC: 7/8

Exit and then Save.


Now go to Auto Scan:

Auto Scanning all available TP Freqs and Channels from 118.7 (121W):

Echo 9 should be selected, Scroll down and start Scan.

You should now have over 123 Channels if your dish is 24" or larger.


Please Note: No Sat ID lock will be displayed at the top right hand corner of the screen. The coders have not included this function yet. While TP freq 11715 is chosen you should have a Q signal of 20% or higher. This signal strength is strong enough to scan TPs and Channels and no pixelation should occur. The larger the dish of course the higher the Q signal value

Good luck

Update:

For those using the Special LNB for 119/118 from Digiwave, try these settings (From the Digiwave Site itself)

Quote:
SETUP INSTRUCTIONS
Using a 30-inch or larger dish, aim with the following settings:

For DGL-1189S you should setup as below will better:
Satellite Name: 118°W (Anik F3) or 119°W (Echo7)
LNB Power: ON
LNB Type: Universal
LNB Frequency: 9750Mhz/10750 MHz
Finally, do an AUTO SCAN or a BLIND SCAN

For DGL-1189D and DGL-1189Q you should setup as:

Satellite Name: 118°W (Anik F3) or 119°W (Echo7)
LNB Power: ON
LNB Type: Universal
LNB Frequency: 9750Mhz/10600 MHz
Finally, do an AUTO SCAN or a BLIND SCAN

Re: Attention all Viewsat users pointing to 118.7W

Nice post Arbor. I totally missed it last month.
BTW, I uploaded the Sat File with 118.7 to make it easier for those who want to catch this sat.

Re: Viewsat Help

Dear Genieus Moderator,
Please help me with my View Sat. Recently, I bought a viewsat VS2000 Ultra receiver from CA and brought it to Atlanta, GA.
The satelite dishes are hooked up from previous home owner and we were able to see many channels. But since the guy moved out, we have no nothing...no TV, no cable nor satellite. So, we just bought this VS2000 Ultra reciever. I hook it up as the manual stated, but I don't know what is the set up in order to view the free channels. Can you please..please guide me with your wisdom......
thank you..
SumaBoy.

No, you would need an FSS LNB for that.
