Fred - Try this. If you don't have DishPro LNB's then you don't have to reconfigure after you do the blind scan, but you must follow these to avoid duplicates:
Perfect Scan with Dish500 and DishPro (Twin or Quad) LNB
-First you will need to reset factory defaults
-Then go into your Antenna Setup and configure
NOTE: If you are using Fortec or Pansat you will need to unselect the bird you are not scanning. To do this, use the arrows on your remote to deselect the sat.
- You will then set your LNB type to Standard and select the port on the DISEcQ where for this sat (119 = 1 & 110 = 2).
NOTE: If you are scanning 119 then 110 should be unselected and in the DISEcQ option it should read NONE.
- Now commence your blind scan.
NOTE: At the end of this process do the same for next sat repeating the steps above. Once you have completed all scans you will need to go back and reconfigure your antennas as follows:
For Fortecs and Pansats:
LNB TYPE = DishPro DISEcQ -- 119 = 1 and 110 = 2.
The remaining options will stay the same. Keep in mind that depending on your location you may or may not have any signal on the first TP that appears in your settings for 119. Do not alarm yourself with this.
For Viewsat Owners the steps are pretty similar, but all you do is turn the LNB Power Off in the Antenna Setup.
Once completed you will need to reconfigure as follows:
