Hi Guys, I just got myself a new ultra and I am using dish 500 with 2 dish pro dual LNB to diseqc switch. I have a question on the setup, when I scan in the channel on 110 and 119. I only get 112 channels on 110 and 154 channels on 119. What is the problem? Would it be my setting on the menu? Here is my setting:
110 lnb power-on lnb type-standard lnb freq-11250 22khz-off tp freq-12224 search option-all diseqc 1.0- port 2 motor-off legacy sw-none please help me with what I did wrong. Thanks!
King - Viewsats are set by default to update their network. If you go into the TP scan you'll see in the block of "Network" the option is "On". What this does is seek active TP's on a sat when using the "F1" option so you don't have to do the Blind Scan.
You can actually delete all TP's except one as long as the Network option is "ON" it will update your TP. "F2" when using a SatInfo file tends to repeat transponders and rescan then twice giving you duplicate channels. Of course, this is when using DishPro Equipment.
King - It's not the Auto TP that updates. If you go into Menu and then Installation and then Channel Scan, you are automatically put in the menu where you can scan a specific TP. In this area you will see a box that says "Network Search". If this option is off, when you use the "F1" it will not update or scan the sat for new TP's and only scan what is predefined. If it is "ON" then by using "F1" it will automatically do the same as Blind Scan.
The problem with "F2" blind scan itself is that if the "Network Searh" option is "ON" it will scan the same TP's twice.
Viewsats are funny like that and I haven't been able to figure out why. This is why I wrote a proceedure to do a perfect scan with Viewsats because everyone was complaining that after doing "Blind Scan" "F2" they were getting tons of duplicate channels. I started palying around with it and finally after about two weeks I figured it out.
Try it and you'll see. I don't want anyone to take my word for it. I want them to try and then come back and say. Yes, you're right or No, I found a better way. That's what testing is all about.
Of course f1 should work but when some channels don't lock this is how to include them.
I agree blind scan can pick multiple beam streams causing doubles and triples coming from different angles.
Micky Lee can try it and let us both know
Also you call them network of TPs. I call them frequency presets for one reason if you notice their numerical frequency and polarity, they never change, they are programmed and stored preset information.

I got some great stuff coming I'm working on DTV phase II to get 61.5, 82, 91 Finding the focal point of the center beam
If this works you can get all 3 with one dish See nice clean dialog like this can lead to simple discoveries or improvements. No Ego no bashing. Work like a team.
King - That is the maning of the nick. I use it everywhere and if you go to other boards you'll see what I'm about.
I agree, clean dialog goes a long way. If you look at most of my posts on this board, I don't bash anyone unless provoked. And even then I back off. Some people just get on my nerves.
The concept of this is to test and share what you learn from testing. Not everyone does that. I have yet to post anything I haven't tested. Trust me I've read lots of info, but unles I test and find out for sure, I don't take it as gosple...
