I jsut recently purchased a ultra. I want to know how to get the perfect channel list. if i do a blind scan i get many doubles and alot of channels with no info. help appr.
its best to do blindscan...check ur antenna settings..that could be a reason why you get so many doubles...first off do a factory default and make sure all channels are deleted then go to antenna settings set all correctly (make sure if ur using dish pro have ur lnb set as ocsdp..that should get rid of a lot of ur doubles and also scan with vertical polarity for dish pro and that also should help)
if that doesnt work then go ahead use a channel list which can be easily downloaded from dsscentral or any reputable sites listed in the forum
Thanks again, skullz i know where to find it its jsut i dont know what its for. What do these settings mean, also i have 3 sats hooked up into a switch 119 61.5 and 91, the reciever only recognizes 119. also what does the sat meter mean and what does the quatlity meter mean? Sorry for burduning you but if you have time. Thanks.
ok....first off what switch do you have and what dish do you have...are you sure its dish pro? If you do have dp (dishpro) then you need a dp34 switch. All other switches will not work with dishpro. Assuming you have that dish and that switch, your settings should be as below: Echo 7 (119) = Port 1 Echo 8.10 (110) = Port 2 Echo 3 (61.5) = Port 3 The Frequency should be 11250.
Now since you said u had ur lnb connected to a switch and ur receiver only recognized 119..it is possible that you have a blown switch. The best way to check this is to connect the wire from lnb directly into ur receiver and see what you get.
The meter represents your quality and signal strength that you are receiving. Obviously the higher these are the better it is.
