factory reset ,then reset the settings,but change the following:

turn 22kz off
change lnb type to standard
if your using a dp switch or a diseq . set the settings to match your switch port settings.
then rescan

If you use a switch to get more than one satellite feed, have you checked the diagnosis on the switch?

What SatCsanner says should work.
Try running a Blind Scan first, then a MANUAL SCAN.

I have a coo sat 5000 and when I lose channels, I do the blind, then the manual scan, and the channels come back

Did you check the switch? be sure you get both satellites, 110 and 119. For example, check to see if you have hbo 300 (its on 119) and HBO Latin on 309 its on 110. If not, your switch is bad or your antenna is misalligned.

Also, keep in mind that you have to do a blind scan per satellite, it doesnt do them simultaneouslly. Check that you choose the 110 sat for the blind scan.

I dont know what else to tell you

Select from list 110.0W Echostar 8,10
TP 12.200 to 12.750
SR Full
Pol ALL
Mode ALL
then ok

Then do the same for 119

check in the general settings
Satellite 110.0W Echostar, 8, 10
LNB Power ON
LNB Type: depends if its single or dual
LNB Freq 11.250
22KHZ OFF

If you have a SW 21 switch, this is the setting:
DiSEqC Switch OFF
Legacy SW SW21 Dish 1 or Dish 2, depending on your setting, it should not be the same for 119 and for 110

sorry, you have 110 and 121, y have 110 and 119, but the check switch procedure is the same, be sure you are getting signal from 110.

One last thing, try inverting the switch connections to see if you get signal from both your lnbs or antennas.

also, check dish alingnment and the LNB.

You have done the procedure correctly.
