my pansat 2700a only picks up echo 7 not echo 8 i have tried it on 2 differnt antennas that have pansats 2700a that work fine but my reciever only picks up echo 7 and echo 8 is 0 qaulity any ideas
U must have 2 LNBs on dish...both must be aligned correctly...and U must input corresponding antenna settings into the receiver..and scan the satellites, upload the latest file, reboot the receiver and let keys autoroll..
i matched all the antenna settings from the non working reciever to the working reciever and the non working reciever still will not have echo 8 work. only echo 7 if i put both echo 7 and 8 on the same diseq then they will both work .but not each with their own deseq
DiseqC switch may be messed up. Have you checked the switch to make sure it works? Also, make sure all cables are connected properly and that none are cut or damaged.
Scanning of Echo 7 and Echo 8,10 is sometimes an exact ask depending upon the LNBs used. 1. Disconnect in antenna setting everything except 119W (echo 7). If the two are coming separately to the Switch and the switch is easily accessed, then disconnect physically the one for 110W - make sure your receiver power is off at the time 2. Now after ascertaining everything in the antenna setup for Echo 7, do a Blind scan. 3. With receiver off, disconnect 119 in a way similar to instructions 1 above and connect 110W (Echo 8,10) physically and in antenna setup as it should be. Switch on and scan the 110W. For this particular scan you may want to use DeseqC port as "none" instead of the setting you have - try it both ways if necessary. 4. Switch off and reconnect the 119W. 5. Connect and scan the other sats as required.
Hope it works for you. It must be very frustrating.
