i probably think the snow cover is the problem =/....well if u have a birddog meter check if the signal is ok..mayb like around 75 to 99..then if its good just move it like about half an inch to find quality, if that doesnt work...try taking of the snow cover then try it...hope that help =)

List your hardware

- Receiver
- Dish
- LNBs
- DISEqC
- Satellites
Along with their brands and BIN PGMs

Keep in mind
Circular LNBs for 61.5/82/91/110/119/129/148 with 20" dish
Linear LNBs for 97/121 with 30" dish


So if yo took an LNB to a different dish it may require moving LNB to get the right focal amplification this concerns size of dish


So rather than guessing what hardware yo got
Provide a complte list of all hrdware like I have above.

i have a pansat 2500 with bin 288 trying to get echo 7 and 8.6 it worked with his lnb's good quality but we could only get 137 channels and a lot of them would not come in . Right now we pulled it out and i am taking it to my other home where i can fool with it when i know everything is good i have used this receiver for a long time so i know the lnb's work so i will keep you posted but thanks a lot for the reply i will probably put the file in for 2700 and the 213 bin
