I have a Viewsat Ultra and after this last ecm I can not pick up anything on 119? Is anyone else having this problem? I thought it might have been a dish pointing problem but I was getting 119 then it just went out. I was going to load a factory bin and try to blind scan again but I know this would take a couple of hours. Can someone please help?

Check your satellite setup, sometimes with a ne bin you can lose your settings.

LNB Type: OCS-DP for Dp LNB or standard
LNB Freq: 11250
Diseq switch: port 1

I did change the LNB Freq many times but I am not getting quality on any setting. Sometimes the quality will flicker to 100% and back to 0% rappidly. But about 2 weeks ago I was getting all of 119 and 110 now I just get 110? Do you think it could be a dish pointing issue?

It look like a switch problem or a bad cable.

Try a new switch or new cable.

Do a factory default then go to viewsatusa.com and load this 2 files in your receiver:

Factory bin:
[link removed]

Satellite Info:
[link removed]

And the latest bin:
http://currentbins.com/viewsat/Ultra/

Now rescan your satellites and back with the result.

Note your receiver will come like a brand new satellite with it.

like plymouth said, most likely it is ur antenna settings.
make SURE both sats are set up correctly
if 110 isnt right, it can mess up 119
what are ur ant settings?
exactly!
if u have a dishpro, u wont have a diseqc switch, and if u are getting 110, i doubt its the cable. has to be the settings

Did you try to scan 9/13? It wont show a quality till after the blind scan as the transponder frequency is not an active one!

It certainly could be a corroded cable. 110 has a stronger signal than 119.

in about 1 out of 300 cases it could be a bad cable sure. it is possible, but certainly not probable! i would not waste my time with that. it is something else. joe may be on to something although i have never done a blind scan ever. and the default tp 12224 will show 0 signal on 119. 12239 will show it tho. keep on it and u will get it rich.

I'm sorry to hear you are dyslexic dont do the factory bin thats whats taking you soooo long<I;-)


BLIND SCAN ensures ACTIVE transponders where as the regular scan is a preprogrammed scan for specific transponders.

The only draw back is you might need to blind scan a few minutes before a prime event to find the new transponder!!

Try it you'll like it!!

Hind site is 20/20.

I posted this in a thread labled "Plymouth" in a round a bout way but here it is again..


Now wouldn't it be a Godsend if whoever is posting the new files would not scan the sats in order to make it easier ,so noone would have to do a new scan!

The scans are putting stored imformation off the scanners set up and this is corrupting the users file!

It took me a couple of hours to find out why my regular stuff was not loaded!!

Then a rescan proved inatiquate as the scanners imformation was not the best for me .

Please dont scan first as your attempt to make it easier on me is killing everyone!!
