Hello There

Certainly don't mean to bother anybody today. I try to keep my posts few and far between, and tend to things myself. However, today, I am baffled, and thought I would ask for some Info & perhaps Help from others within this group.

Here is the Question that has me baffled:

Bell ExpressVu has (2) Satellites, as we all know. The famous 91 & 82. I have a (FTA) receiver hooked up, and have Bell running beautifully. I have everything from 91 piped through.

When I switch to 82, Only what I would deem as the "International" channels are there. Tons and tons of International channels. However, there are None of the, how would I class these, the "Regular Channels" that are apart of the 82 satellite.

See, I also have a (Sub) for ExpressVu. So when I turn to the 82 satellite on the sub, though I don't subscrobe to the channels on that satellite (82), The Fight Network is there because it is having a Free Preview till January '2007, and The Fishing Network. It also lists on the guide, channels you can subscribe to such as:

Silver Screen Classics
Cool Tv.
Much More Retro
and even more

So, after all of that, the question is, "WHY" when ExpressVu (wide open) is selected to 82, and the channel list is loaded, are none of those channels present. Not even a channel that is offering a Free Preview, such as The Fight Network?

As mentioned, when I switch to ExpressVu 82 on my (Sub), The Fight Network is there, because it's free. So where might it be on ExpressVu (wide open) on 82? Where are those channels? They're not even listed?

It seems like there is an International ExpressVu package on 82, which (FTA) is picking up, but another more regular package that isn't being found, with the other type of channels.

Can anyone help, supply info, or even have the answer. Is there something that can be done? Am I over looking something? Is it not possible with (FTA), to open that package of ExpressVu channels?

Sory for the long winder nature of this letter, but thought I would supply any and all info possible, to perhaps help others out in this challenge.

Thank You,

Sincerely,

Vivid

I don't know if I have your total answer, JP, but here's some things to think about...

FTA, with the proper bin and keys, is wide open. Bell receivers (actual subs and hacked ones) have a concept of tiers. You pay extra $$ for each tier. FTA does not use tiers. FTA receivers get all channels wide open to whatever satellite they're pointing to.

Are you using a channel list that you downloaded to your FTA receiver? I would suggest that you delete all of your channels and do a blind scan on 82. Also, make sure your autoTP feature is working and turned on.

You can see what channels are offered on what satellite here: http://lyngsat*com/packages/america.html (replace * with a dot)

Thanks for the info. I too, also thought that a FTA receiver, as it does with DS, and Bell 91, open everything there is on that satellite. However, the FTA receiver, with a great bin and set of keys, having opened everything on 91, isn't opening everything on 82? I will try the blind scan on 82, however, I did try that a few times over the weekend.

I was just at a loss with this. I would just like to check out some of those channels on Bell 82, with wide open. I figured since FTA has opened everything on 91, it would do the same for 82. Yet, that isn't the case. I will also go and check the AutoTP? Not sure if it is turned on?

Thank You

For me, when I point to 82 I get (most) everything that Bell has to offer. So, something weird is happening with your FTA box.

Also, I'm assuming you're in Canada. If you're in the US you should get all the same channels as do the Canadians, however, I have heard of complaints that Americans are missing some channels. Remember, Nimiq 3 is used to duplicate Nimiq 1 and provide coverage for the South, but Nimiq 3 might be missing a few channels. I can't remember if there is another sat to duplicate Nimiq 2.

Yes, I am in Canada. Even stranger? I have been checking somethings out in the last hour, and thought I would check more in to the matter. For starters, there are countless channels listed on Lyngsat (thanks for the link), that are not coming up when I download the channels.

Also, when I went to Network Scan, though I am not sure of what that means, I found it interesting that every other I believe Transponder, isn't there?

See, every odd number is there at 100% strength, but every even number is blank. It's as if, the odd transponders are perfect, but the even ones aren't. However, if I switch to 91, then everything odd and even is perfect at 100% with all channels.

You're only getting the vertical polarity on 82, whereas you're getting both.
Either:
Change your lnb type in the menu so that 82 can receive both V and H polarity.
Change your lnb as it doesn't receive Horizontal signal.
You'll notice on the link that JB gave you that the tp numbers have either an R or L after them. The R's are vertical, the L's are horizontal.
Check the list for 82 and see if all the channels you are currently getting are listed with L's.

Later

Man alive, I checked, and I am only receiving the channels with the R beside them. I am going to go and see where I might find what you mentioned, changing the LNB type in the menu to receive both R & L.

some good advice here guys...U could be using a "limited" channel list...and maybe U have Dish Pro LNB's but NOT a DP channel list..scan the vertical Tp's for DP LNB's..or use channel master and convert that legacy channel list to a DP channel list..

About Dish Pro LNB's...

FTA testing requires to change all Horizontal polarity to Vertical due to the fact that Dish Pro uses stacked technology(bandstacking scheme the IF frequency of the horizontal block is shifted upwards to vertical) They will need to be edited for example( just go to Menu-Installation-Tp/edit and set all to V) then subtract all horiz. transps. frecuencies from 25600. enter result as your new transp freq. (IE. on sat 119 transp 6 is 12297h. doing the subtraction, you get 13303. So change transp 6 to 13303). This is needed because dishpro lnbs use an oscilator that runs at 25600mhz. this is mixed with the horizontal transp freqs and new freqs are generated.

or use a DP channel list..

Okay, I don't know where to go or how to change the FTA reciever o allow it to receive R & L. Perhaps, you may be able to help me out on that matter? What I do know is, I am able to receive R & L with the LNB I have on the Bell dish, because alot of the channels on L, that my FTA won't download, come in fine on my legal sub Bell receiver. Therefore, the LNB itself, is capable of picking-up R & L feeds. I just don't know how to get the FTA one to do that?

Also, the FTA receiver when on 91, is picking-up R & L feeds. Not everything on L is coming in, or was downloaded, but there are channels that are.

Yes you did, and I thank you. However, I wrote those two messages back to back. Your response did not appear inbetween me writing those. I now have what you said. I will try and scan the Vertical TP's, as you first mentioned. I have no idea if the LNB's I have are Dish Pro? This is the Bell System I bought from Bell (3) years ago when I subscribed.

Okay, I know I am not the smartest guy in the room for satellites. I have read what you wrote, and it's loaded with info. I am however very confused on how to follow it through? For starters, you mention using a DP channel list? Where is that? Is that on the receiver? Is that something I can switch it to, then it will download those channels?

How would I convert a legacy channel list to a DP? Is this stuff done on the computer, or through the receiver? Does this have to do with the bin and file, or not at all?

Very confused on the subtracting hor from vert and all of that. The info sounds great, but I have no clue how to run with this?

I think that Tyler's on to something. What type of lnb's are you using and what type did you select in the receiver setup? LNBs that work with FTA receiver should be able to switch between horizontal and vertical by receiving commands (disecq) from the receiver.

Also, what LK says about the channel list... try what he says, or, delete all channels and do a blind scan.

But start with making sure that you have your lnbs properly set up on your receiver. Also, when doing your blind scan, make sure that you scan on both vert and horiz,

Hello There

Thanks so much for all this help and info everyone. I am still trying. Okay, for starters, I did try and one mentioned, and selected everything to V, and did the subtraction of the numbers, entered the new numbers, etc. Nothing happened. Same old list of channels that I already had.

As for what type of LNB's do I have? Honestly, not sure. They are the LNB's that came with my Bell System when I bought it from Bell (3) years ago. I just came home and set the system up.

Everything has always worked liked a charm. My Bell (sub) is perfect, s it picks up everything I subscribe to on 91, and also picks-up about (30) channels on 82, though I don't subscribe to that.

My FTA receiver works great for Bell. It picks-up 95% of 91, and I never had problems with it. Therefore, I thought if I switched to 82, with FTA, I would light-up everything out there? No, not the case.

As a matter of fact, the channels that come in from FTA, on 82, are the same channels that I get legally on the Bell Sub, on 82, even though I don't subscribe to 82. They're just there. Right now, FTA isn't offering me anything different than the Sub, as far as 82 goes?

So sorry, you asked about the LNB's? They say Dish network, and they work perfect for everything. Just not all the channels for Bell 82, on FTA?

You could not have gotten your lnbs from Bell if they have "Dish" stamped on them. Or, do you have two sets of dishes: one for your sub and one for your FTA receiver? Plus, if you don't subscribe to 82, it would suggest to me that everything is coming from 91. Verify these supposed sat-82 channels on lyngsat*com.

Unfortunately, we don't have a good enough picture of your setup in order to help you. You will have to do some reading and research in order for you to troubleshoot. Plus, if you're going to pursue hacked FTA as a hobby it's good to acquire the necessary skills, anyways.

Hello There

I completely understand what you are saying about knowing your way around hacking. I am no smaty pants, but I can hold my own. I have been doing such, for over (10) years now. From the DirecTv. H-Card, to HU-Card, to Emulation, to Bell Wide Open using the Bell receiver, to Bell & Dish Network wide open for the past (2) years using FTA. I still have lot's to learn, this however, I just found, like hitting a brick wall.

Now, regarding the LNB's? 150%, they are Bell LNB's, and they say Dish network on them. The complete pack, Satellite Dish, 2 receivers, and the double LNB's, were bought at Bell World. This is what the Bell systems are. Everyone I know, have the same systems. They say Dish network right on them. I even took a few pictures that varify that.

Also, I don't subscribe to 82, and when I switch to 82, I not only receive the Free Preview Channels that are airing right now, such as The Fight Network (which I am recording as we speak the UCE Finals), but also The Fishing Network, and Gol Tv. However, I am also receiving other channels. They have been varified as channels on the 82 signal. Which is why they Never appear on my 91 sub, or on the 91 FTA channel list.

Lastly, as I am trying to answer your questions and paint a picture. I have the Legal Bell system set-up. Everything is perfect. I then, simply have taken the cable from the Legal Bell Receiver, and put it to the FTA receiver. Signal and Level is perfect.

Hello There

I wasn't able to fix the problem, but did want to take a minute and thank everyone who dropped some advice and info throughout the day today on my matter. I wish I could figure it out, but to me it's a mystery.

I am not out anything, I was just curious why? Why all the channels on Bell 82 don't show-up on FTA, when all the channels on Bell 91 show-up on FTA. Oh well, it's yet another satellite mystery.

I will keep an eye and ear open from a few others, and a dealer I see on weekends. If anyone does have a shot in the dark thought or guess, I would love to see it posted.

Lastly, this is for Tyler, you suggested going to menu, and switching the LNB so it would be able to receive V & H Polarity. Curious how you would do that? I went to where I simply could change what type of LNB I had, but that didn't help the matter?

Anyways, thanks for the help, and the info, just too bad the info couldn't solve the problem.

The info was good and when used , it would definitely fix your FTA problem...think U need to know more about using your receiver..I didn't see it posted anywhere here,but if U had mentioned which receiver U had then it would have helped...but either way, reading the many manuals posted at all the sites would easily resolve your main problem, which is use of your receiver..

Hello There

Thanks again for the words and info. My receiver that I am using at this moment for FTA is a Panset 2500A-N2. Perhaps I never mentioned that. As far as the LNB's go? Sorry guys, but they say right on them, Dish Network. Same company owns Dish Network & Bell ExpressVu. As it is, untill (2) years ago, majority of the Bell ExpressVu receivers even said Dish Network on them. Right on the LNB's, they say Dish Network. No reason to lie, and can't make a mistake. That is the way the Bell ExpressVu systems are.

I am trying to upload the photo's I took to show you. I tried to send (3) last night, but it said they were to big. I don't know how to make a photo smaller, so perhaps if I send one at a time? If it doesn't work, I would be happy to E-Mail both of you the photo's from my E-Mail account to yours. Just say the word.

Lastly, I know better knowledge of a receiver would help, but quite honestly, besides just wanting to figure out why all the channels on 82 don't show-up on FTA, isn't a real concern to me. I have Bell Legal (2) recievers, DirecTv. Sub (through a contact), Dish Network FTA (everything open), Bell FTA 91 (everything open), and I am just fooling and trying to get Bell FTA 82 (everything open). That was all I am trying to do here. If it doesn't open everything up, then no big deal. I tried. I am still going to see my dealer this weekend.

Thanks again for everything, and if the photo's don't work, let me E-Mail them to you.

Sincerely,

Vivid

I can't upload the photo's. Well, actually, I can upload them, but this board is saying they're too large. I tried to make them smaller, but I don't think it worked. So, anyways, I have (5-6) photo's showing the Bell ExpressVu system, for which the LNB's state and say Dish Network. If you guys want to see them, send me your E-Mail address and I will gladly send them off. Mine is thegame2366@hotmail.com and I will be more than happy to send them.

Are U using the 284T bin?..and Pansat clones are the easiest of all receivers to use..and DN usualy use DP twins LNBs or DN legacy twins for sats 9 degrees apart...since U say your LNB's say Dishnet, then I'm presuming U are using DN legacy twins, which do NOT work well with pansats or clones..they have interior switches that conflict with most FTA receivers.....but honestly I think U also may have a dish alignment problem, even from the installer...cause its VERY odd that your Bev sub AND panset receive the exact same channels...maybe the alighnment is bad and U are also missing channels from your Bev sub too..

Hello There

Yes, I am using the 284T Bin. THat's interesting to here about how my Bell LNB's may not work well with Pansats or Clones. That's interesting because, I have always used an old DirecTv. dish for my FTA. However, this time, I thought I would just run one of my Legal Bell Systems to the FTA, and see what happens. And you know what has happened?

As far as it not being aligned? I am certain it's perfect. Obviously, anything is possible, but I felt it was perfect. My Bell Signal is 100%, and Everything I pay for, is there.

Then, when I take a Bell Sub, and feed it to FTA, I am missing as you know, a few on 91, and almost everything on 82? Interesting?

As for the Bell Sub and Pansat receiving the same? Well, yes and no. See, I don't subscribe to Bell 82. However, when I myself switch my Bell sub to 82, there are at least (30) channels that work. Now, the Bell FTA on 82, receives some of those (30) channels, but then what appears to be everything International.

Now the last reason I believe the alignment is okay is, my Bell Sub, receives everything I pay for on 91, and what I mentioned on 82. Still perfect 100% signal strength. It's just the panset that doesn't receive anything for Bell, 82, FTA, on the Horizontel feed?

Do you think I should try, and hook this panset already loaded for Bell, up to one of my old Amercian Dishes I have, and see if it receives H & V? I would be willing to try tomorrow, if you thought it may make a change? Let me know some thoughts only if you have the time.

Thanks again for the info and advice.

its NOT the dish..its the LNB's on the Dish!...and u double talked again about your Bev 82 sub..

See, I don't subscribe to Bell 82. However, when I myself switch my Bell sub to 82


I have never subbed to Bev obviously...but I thought that the Bev sub would give U not just 1 satellite, but BOTH satellites with some channels coming from BOTH..thats why I also believe U have a Installed Dishnet Legacy TWIN LNB (made specifically for either the 82-91 or the 110-119 sats and DISHNET OR BEV receivers, NOT FTA) with built in SW switches that are causing problems with your Pansat FTA..

Hello There

No double talking intended. I DO NOT subscribe to Bell 82. I subscribe to Bell 91. That is my package, and I receive everything from Bell 91, that I pay for.

However, when I myself, Move the LNB on one of my Bell systems, from the 91 Slot, to the 82 Slot, and walk back in the house, and switch the Bell Rceiver to the 82 feed rather than the 91 feed, though I have no subscription to Bell 82, Every Free Preview channel in there, and also as mentioned several times now, other channels are there.

I am not talking about a "Switch" that I push. I am talking that I move with my hands, the LNB from the Bell 91 slot, to the Bell 82 slot. 100% signal strength. All Transponders being received when I do that, and it's o the Legal Bell Receiver.

Then, I simply take the LNB Cable from the Bell Receiver, and place it to the Panset receiver. I then still have 100% signal strength. I then have the International channels from Bell 82. But that's it. However, if I take that cable right back out, and stick it back in the Legal Bell Sub reciever, there are the Bell 82 Free Preview channels lihgt FIght Network, Fishing Network, and Gol Tv. Also, on the guide, there is every channel on Bell 82, just obviously not lit up, because I don't subscribe to them. Therefore my question all along was why wouldn't the FTA reciever open everything up? Hell, even list the channels? It doesn't?

The dish is positioned perfectly. It's locked and loaded at 100% signal strength. I pay for Bell 91, and get everything I pay for. I can move the LNB to 82, though I don't subscribe to 82, and still pick-up about (30) channels, and free previews. When installing and hooking up the systems ( I have a few) three years ago, they even tellme to lock on Bell 91, as that is where all my programming is, and nothing on 82. So when I recently learned that there was a Free Preview of The Fight Network on 82, I thought, well if I simply moved the LNB, what might happen. Bingo! There is the Fight Network. So then I thought I would use a Panset to open everything on 82, since that is suppose to be what a FTA would do. Considering that is what it does for me with Bell 91 on my other Panset.

Very lastly, whomever supplied the info that Bell LNB's sa Dish on them, thanks for backing me up. However, you are part right. They say Dish, correct. Yet, my Legal, Store Bought, Bell Supplied, Apart of the Bell ExpressVu Satellite System, do infact say Dish Network.

If anyone can explain to me how to shrink a picture, or take new pictures but smaller than what my camera produces, help me. I will be thrilled to send them in and post them. I can take (1) or (50) pictures. I have nothing to gain or lose. My Bell LNB's say Dish Network on them. Period. So do my friends, my other friends, all the ones on display at Best Buy, Future Shop, The Source, and my local Satellite dealer. Just the way it is. Maybe not every single Bell LNB says it, but mine and others sure do.

So I hope that clears anything up? I do not subscrobe to Bell 82. I don't. I never have. However, I went outside, and on my one dish, I moved the LNB from the 91 slot, to the 82 slot and thought what the hell, let's see what happens? It worked, I receive The Fight Network. That's all I wanted. There are other channels there, but it's no double talking. I don't have a Sub to Bell 82. Switch is not meant as a switch, rather me moving the LNB from one slot to another.

Please help with picture info, and I will send them in.

No, I didn't. I just placed the LNB Cbale from the Bell Sub, to the Panset. Then satellite scan What came-up is what came up. What you just said makes all the sense in the world though. Here I am sounding like an idiot though, but how would I do that? I mean, I know to go to menu, and installation, then antenna to configure? Not quite sure then? I will go take a look right now, but if you have any info or help, please, I would need it.UploadUploadUploadUploadUploadUpload

OK ...then problem solved...U must have configured the 91W..so do the 82W the exact same way...this is a basic FTA 101 process that I thought U would have done and checked...and its part of ANY "setup" manual that U should have read......why not buy another LNB and put in that open 82W slot and connect a disque switch and get BOTH all the time..instead of physically removing the LNB and placing it in 82w slot..

Hello There

Sounds like that is the answer. However, I do just want to make sure of something? When you say, do for 82, what I did for 91, do you mean the following:

Set Dish/LNB up for 82
Select Install
Select 82 as satellite (nimiq 2)
Then download the channels
Then watch Tv.

Because if that is what you mean, that has been done tons of times over the past week, and only the free crap that we have beat to death is coming up.

So if that is what people mean by configure, then I have done that for 82, and still nothing, in the way of good channels, premium channels, or even the free preview channels.

Regarding by another LNB? I actually have a dish for every satellite or feed I pick up. I took pictures of the 91 dish, because with the rain this mroning, I would get soaked taking pictures of the 82 dish. I know I could use switches, and have less dishes out there, but that's just me.

(1) Dish to DirecTv. (sub)
(1) Dish to Bell 91 (FTA)
(1) Dish to Bell 91 (Sub) 2 Receivers
(1) Dish to Bell 82 (working on that) (FTA)
(1) Dish to Dish Network (110) FTA

its a miracle U get 91W!...U did NOT setup your antenna settings!...NO, that is NOT how to do it!...

82w
LNB-standard
freq- 11250
port 1 ..port 2 for 91w when adding a disque switch
scan all
etc..

just do as I said...MENU-INSTALLATION-ANTENNA...select nimiq 2 ...enter the abov...its posted everywhere...this FTA 101 lesson is now closed..too long, confusing, and U have NOT read anything!...this was a very simple matter all along!...but your lack of BASIC reading and details , created this problem..and if U follow my directions U no longer need to ask..

Hello There

Okay, you may be done writing to me, and that's fine. However, a few things need to be said. What you listed last, is of course what has been done. I have gone to install, selected Nimiq 2, the LNB has always been on Standard, and 11250 is always selected, whether it's Dish Network or Bell ExpressVu. That's standard stuff.

I then have scanned all, and nothing but the same old International crap that we talked about. What you just told me to do, is what I have been doing. I simply laid the steps out in basic terms. To me, selecting Nimiq 2, LNB standard, 1250, I didn't list that, because I thought everyone knows that.

Now out of what you last wrote, the only thing I Admit ha sparked my interest is, you say after you go to menu, then install, then Nimiq 2, of course the Freq we know, you wrote Port 1? Now I don't see an option anywhere for a Port 1? Taht I do not see anywhere.

As far as me having read material? I didn't just get the FTA yesterday. I have had FTA for (3) years now. I have Bell open, I have Dish Network open. I am just having the problems this week with Bell 82. I am Not as informed as you. No I am not. Maybe you would have more patience if I were. I am sorry for that. I am trying to ask for help, on a forum for which I thought help would be there if needed. It may be simple basic for you, but what I am trying this week, I am finding rather hard.

I don't know why 82 wide open isn't there? First people are saying switch the LNB to Dish Pro. Then people are saying my LNB's can't say Dish Network, when they do. Then I am being told it's simple basic FTA 101 and do this. Well I did that. Nothing. I have done everything anyone has said over the past (2-3) days. That is the only reason I continue to post.

I never post. I posted (6-8) months ago, and Tyler helped me out. That was great. Then I left. I came back this week seeking help. People are offering advice, info, and help, but thus far, it isn't working.

So you can walk away if you choose. I never came to you. I came to the board. Except for you saying Port 1, and me not seeing a Port 1, I just did everything you said to do, five minutes ago, and nothing.

Sorry if I am bothering you, but if so, and if you're done helping me, then I want to thank you for everything you have said over the past couple of days. You are very informed, and have a nice approach. Thanks.
