You may need to identify the switch port for each dish and specify the port number in the settings.

Hey, angelika
You are saying, when you do a blind scan on EchoStar 7, 8, or 3 the same channels come in.
A) Possible Cause
Your switch is defective and stuck in one position or should I say on one Bird.
B) Remedy
Replace the switch.

may need to reset up settings in reciever again. Like the pancrap 2700a lost all settings after loading the 205 file. U may have to set up antenna's again. Disecq

dah...why do u all think I prevuiously posted above that she MUST go ON the roff and check out the LNB, switch cables etc?...U all should read before U post away!

U cannot replace the switch or reset the antenna settings without going on the roof and seeing what U presently have!

Hey, angelika
You said that Dish Network did the installation
and your FTA box worked fine before.
Your roof is too high,we will try from the ground.
Don't give up, don't leave it like it is,try what people suggested above. nothing to lose, people here will help you to get it right.
