Transponder choices are 12224-12676

hello
I have 2 dishes
each dish has a dual lmb
one dish I guess for 110 and the other for 119
4 lines form each dish go into 2 diSQqc switches

[bikerbottawa]

Anybody have any thoughts on ths problem

[It's Jafo]

It's LNB.....
Try freq 11250 and diseqc ports 1&2
110 on port 2 and 119 on port 1.
Report what you find out.

Echostar 7 and 8 have been changed out a long time ago with new satellites, so your factory satellite information in the receiver may be out of date.

For satellite 119W use TP 12457R to find it, (it's now Echostar 14) for the satellite's at 110W use TP12224R, (they are now EchoStar 10 and 11) but no matter what the names of the satellites if your system is setup correctly, and switching correctly you should still get the transponders.


What type/brand of switches are you using and whose LNB's?

THANK YOU everyone for all your help
it would appear that the diseqc was the problem

one thing im curious about tho, is echo 7 and echo 14 the bird

Echo 14 is now the new bird at 119W.
