i have a problem when flipping channels with the coolsat and pansat. Its like i lose signal and have to channel up then channel down a couple of times before picture will come in again. It seems to happen more if i go to a 110 channel to a 119 channel (vise versa). Carp if i get a motor will one dtv dish work and dont the dtv dish have legacy lnbs or do i need a single lnb dish 500 with legacy lnb or dual.

Viewsat Bible (support for dishpro LNB)
OK;
I've tinkered around with this and everything that I've used on it so far is Deadb@lls right-on. I'm attaching the Bible as a .txt file and ask that Carp or other mods look this over and correct if nessasary (or delete it if you feel that it will harm newbees. I like it myself! Edited outside links. Most of this is what Carp, Tango, and Grasshopper have been saying .... this just kinda put it all in one easy-to-read format that will answer lots of questions (expecially about us that are having a tough time with the dishpro dishes)
Mods .... can you look this over?

You are not on the right satellite. you must be on EchoStar 9, they have the international channels not 8.10.

It just seems that people are having a great deal of problems with DP's.
Oh by the way did you get the channel problem to work yet?

I got everything up & working last night...Fully unlocked..I think I have more channels now than I did when the black-out came. Thanks once again carp.
..Oh and the reset factory 3 times worked at my dads.

You are on 128 not 110-119, these are the satellites you want. Move your dish to the east a Little.
