You only need to point your dish right direction to get signal and watch TV . LNB set upc/p) Satellite: ECHO 6,8(110) Lnb type-Standard Lo freq-11250 22khz-OFF DiseqC-#2 Skew: O TP: leave it as is Positioner-Disable. Satellite: ECHO 7(119) Lnb type-Standard Lo freq-11250 22khz-OFF DiseqC-#3 Skew: O TP: leave it as is Positioner-Disable C/p: Many FTA users choose to use DishPro switches and LNBs. This is because they have often switched to FTA from company-issue Dish Network equipment. Whatever the reason, they can be used with FTA receivers as long as they contain the DishPro logo on either the switch or the LNB. If you use a DishPro switch/LNB, you will need to use a channel list that is different from the one that most users use. This is because in order to allow the receiver to work with all channels, all transponders must operate on right polarity and the frequencies of the left polarity transponders must be changed to values above 12.7 GHz. hope this help
da man New member Username: Madleg Post Number: 4 Registered: Jun-06	Posted on Tuesday, June 27, 2006 - 00:43 GMT i have twin DishPro LNBs, the one side says 110 and the other side says 119 on the out side of the LNB mounts. i currently have the cable going into 110 side and set both to give me the best signals Satellite: ECHO 6,8(110) Lnb type-Standard Lo freq-11250 22khz-OFF DiseqC-#2 Skew: O TP: leave it as is Positioner-Disable. Satellite: ECHO 7(119) Lnb type-Standard Lo freq-11250 22khz-OFF DiseqC-#2 Skew: O TP: leave it as is Positioner-Disable i tried yours but my 119 doesnt get any signal that way. i have it straight from the sat 110 LNB to my receiver in. why do they label each LNB on there like that? do i need a switch to get both? any recommendations on a site for channel lists?

Why 119 still set "DiseqC-#2" . I do believe 2 Sat. can not assign same Port . *** Pansat Receiver, you get 82% signal . It is OK I guess .
