CONFUSED - Ultra Lite help
I installed the dish and I have 90% Signal and 87% quality(Echo 8,10) (Echo 7 50%). I loaded the latest bin and no channels show up. My neighbor has a Viewsat Ultra (not lite) so we changed just for giggles and went to Echo 8,10 and the signal was still at 90% but the Quality would stay at 87% then 0%.......and change back and forth every second or two. I am using a cheapo R-6 cable could that be the problem? Any suggestion would be awesome. I feel like we are close but I am now stuck. We changed LNB's (dish pro) and same thing. Thanks in advance.

Re: CONFUSED - Ultra Lite help
After you setup your antenna setting do an auto scan, so you have channels.Im pretty sure not the cable. You need to fine tune your Dish to get the proper alignment and signal in both sat.(110-119).

Re: CONFUSED - Ultra Lite help
I am using the same setting that are listed here for the Ultra. I was told that they are the same for the Lite. I do a channel scan and that's when no channels show up. Like I said it's got to me between the dish and the cable as my neighbors Viewsat Ultra works wonders at his his house and when we plugged it in here it just went from 87% quality to 0% and kept doing that.....it was weird.
What do you think?

Re: CONFUSED - Ultra Lite help
could be your wire should be rg6 that makes a big differance with the signal of your antenna.
