DISH 500 Satellites: Echo 3, Echo 7, Echo 8 LNBs: Dish Pro DiSeq: 4 x 1 Bin: X-05BL_070201_312_api.bin Configuration: 3 cables from LNBs to Diseq switch 1 RG 6 cable to receiver
Here I go:
Everything was working fine till last night. I was helping friend for his Sonicview 8000HD . I Disconnected my receiver , including taking out RG 6 connected to my 3500SD Then connected SV 8000HD, loaded latest bin, scan two satellites. I was successful in doing that. Then, I disconnected SV 8000HD.
Now, I connected my 3500SD. I go to Antenna Set up, my signal level down to 32 and Quality level down to Zero. I tried 1) shut switch from back off and on. 2) Factory default, 3) Reload Bin 312 again. No luck.
Any one has suggestions? I will appreciate your help
Samdo, the 3500 has had problems with leaking capacitors. Try going to Future fta and looking up info there. You need to register first. I know that we have had threads here, but it's been a long time since anyone brought up that problem. A friend of mine changed them and his unit works great now. This could be your problem.
Thanks everyone for helping me out. Everything is back to normal, getting all channels on Echo 3, Echo 7, Echo 8 I like to share my experience how I got channels back
First disconnected 1) 3 cables from LNBs to my DiSeq switch, 2) RG 6 cable from DiSeq switch Reconnected all back as follows: A) cable from 119 LNB to Port 1 of DiSeq switch, B) A) cable from 110 LNB to Port 2 of DiSeq switch, C) cable from 61.5 LNB to Port 3 of DiSeq switch. Next went to receiver menu, antenna setup, selected Echo 7, Echo 8, & Echo 3. Under each selected LNB type as "Dish Pro", DiSeq # as 1, 2, & 3 respectively. I got Signal level for each "85" and Quality "99"
Blind-Scanned all 3 satellites, but to my frustrations no picture.I checked Key #s, they were fine. I decided I am going to Factory Default from main menu. Set my Key code to "on" in Autoroll option. Rechecked Signal level, quality level and DiSeq #s for all satellites under Antenna setup. Blind- Scanned all satellites again
Last step was go to Menu, "SD Memory", deleted my channel data backup file. In other words, I am going to create my favorites all over again and save as new backup file.
One note: I am still using X-05BL_070201_312_api.bin
Finally I got all channels and picture back. I want to thank everyone who chipped in to help me out.
