Missing channels w/ PRO LNB's?

[bel71281]

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.

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.

Sorry had to get that out, every time I do things with DP LNB's they just end up being a bigger problem then what they should, and I have done many of these. I just don't mess with DP's no more it's all legacy for me. I scan channels and they are all there, I hook up a 4X1 switch and it all works great. 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.

Well currently im connected to the satellite Echostar 1,2 148.0 W and i ONLY get international channels, i want to get english channels but i dont seem to be recieving any and i have tried the blind scan and have also tried all other EchoStar satellites.

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