Be sure that you have loaded the good file, "U" is for Ultra and "UL" is for Ultra Light.

Here is the good files:

try lnb type: OSC-DP


assign diseqc port 1 for 119 and port 2 for 110, your lnb has an internal disecq switch

You are Welcome!

You can do a Blind scan then a auto scan for get maximum channels.

If you have duplicated channels you can deleted it in channels organization.

Sorry you are right, Ultra Lite doesnt have blindscan.

Usualy the second LNB is for 110W which you can get over 500 channels.
You must have a Diseq switch and put the 119 LNB on port 1 and 110W on port 2

I get 298 channels on 119W

If you have a DP Lnb
Try putting Diseq to "none" and change Legacy switch setting leave it for a few seconds and note which setting gives you 110 first and then 119. These are the settings you will need to receive these birds.

This is the point Chumley was trying to make. It would be too hard for her to explain herself because she is a little bit shy.

Do you have Dish 500 or Dish 500+? These are two different dishes.
The Dish 500+ setup usually has separate LNB next to the main LNB for 118 and 119
The original settings you described are those for getting ANIK F3 (as well as ECHO 7) on a Dish 500+. The Plus Dish is about 30" wide.

You might want to look for a separate LNB next to it which is meant for picking up 110W
