1. Are you getting any on 119? 2. Do you have a 33" Dish and special LNB for 118? If you are getting 110, then obviously you have one LNB pointing to 110W. do you have another dish which is 33" and is pointing to 119 and has the special LNB? 3. If you do have all the equipment as stated in 2, you should scan specially for 118W, with the right switch settings, and LNB settings.
You should make sure that you have DisEqC switch set correctly and scan 119W using LNB freq 11250. You MUST get at least a couple of channels. After that scan 118 with the same disEqC switch seetings and LNB freq of 10750 or 10600. If you do not get any IndoPak channels then your IKS service is not sending you the proper signals or the service is down for the Internationals.
Any channels specific which like, definitely should be on on 118 and/or 119? So that I can make sure that it is configued properly? Otherwise I will rescan as per your instructions.
Anik F3 (118W) and Echo 14 (119W) are two different satellites.
The first part of the list at lyngsat is realted to 118, and the second part is about 119. You get both by the same special LNB which apparently you have. The DisEqC switch you have would be set to both on one port and your 110W would be on another port. 118W is scanned using LNB Freq of 10750 or 10600 (or 9750-10750 using universal type). 119W is scanned using LNB Freq of 11250. There are minor differnces in the differnt generaic type of LNBs available.
Post the settings of all three (110, 118 and 119), i.e. LNB type, frequence DisEqC port, etc etc I will look at your post in the morning after 10.00 am
You have to rescan after changing the settings. Your setting for Echostar 7 (now Echo 14 @119) should have LNB freq of 11250, i.e. the same as for Echo 8 (Now 11/12 @110). In a majority of installations the Echo 14 @119W and Anik F3 @118 are on the same port. Sometimes they are on two different ports depending on the LNB. If you are getting 110W currently with port setting of 2 then you should leave it as such. However, I think that the channels you are getting are 119W channels and not 110W. check against the list at Lyngsat. If you have the Dish pro plus LNB, the 118 may not work via IKS - I am not shure about this.
Mustansar: If you have a separate LNB for 118/119 and a separate for 110, then you most likely have a generic kind of 118/119 LNB. This special LNB has two outlets for two receivers. The way it is usually attached to your DisEqC switch is 118/119 to Port 1 and 110 to Port 2. Even if the two outlets of 118/119 are attached to two separate switiches, you will get both signals (118 and 119) at each. If you are getting 119 signals then you have to presume that 118 signals are coming in too. I have given the exact instructions for earlier attaching, and the LNB freq settings. You must cross check what you are getting from 119 against the Lybgsat listings for 119. You must NOT set LNB freq for 119 at 10750 - it is 11250 for 119 and 10750 for 118. for 118 it could be set at 10600. Best of luck.
My receiver does not show EchStarS 14 & 10. But I checked the channel list. for 119 and AnikF3, these are the channels I am getting which are in LyngSat.
Ok, Iceman, thanks for taking my problem. I really appreciate it. Here is the story!
I had SV360P since about two years but did not use it after they all went dead. Now, after knowing about newlink, I bought new link and 33" dish with LNB for 118 and 110. Called the dish guy to install it. He did and checked that most of the 110 and 119 channels were running. But all of 118 channels were scrambled. He said that they might be down. So, I started checking these forums about the status od 118 if its dead or it is just me. Now, since yesterday, 110 and 119 are coming up as scrambled. I checked satfixdotcom for statuses and most of the ppl are saying they are down as well. So, when you guys mentioned to change my settings to ES 14 and 10, I went into the settings but these birdies were not in my list. You also asked me to check the channel list on Lyngsat and verify if you are getting these channels for 110 and 119 channels. I checked that and yes, the channel list is correct on my receiver.
Did I clear my situation yet ? Question! Why am I net seeing ES14 and 10? Old receiver may be?
Mustansar........}So, when you guys mentioned to change my settings to ES 14 and 10, I went into the settings but these birdies were not in my list.
EchoStar 8 is now located at 77.0°W EchoStar 10 and EchoStar 11 are at 110.0°W EchoStar 14 at 119.0°W replaced EchoStar 7
You also asked me to check the channel list on Lyngsat and verify if you are getting these channels for 110 and 119 channels. I checked that and yes, the channel list is correct on my receiver. that was Nydass idea
Did I clear my situation yet ? Very good Question! Why am I net seeing ES14 and 10? Old receiver may be? YES when the receivers are manufacturer they put in the sofeware as the birds are listed at that time. You can rename the satellites if you want.
Musanter: forget Echo numbers and use the locations. You are pointing to 118/119 with one LNB and 110 with another LNB.
118/119 LNB This LNB, if made by Dish network as sold with Dish Pro has two outlets one for 118 and the other for 119. You need to tie the two outputs to two inputs of a special switch. In your case it is most likely a generic one where the two outlets are 118/119 at each outlet for two receivers. Therefore the output of one of them tied into one port of your diseqc switch is sufficient. for one reciever. If you can scan 119 and the san matches with that shown at Lyngsat, you should be able to scan 118. In the lyngsat list 118/119 are shown in the same list. The first 30 TPs are labeled 11715 R tp 1 to 12155 L tp 30. To scan these you CANNOT use LNB freq of 11250 - you must use LNB freq of 10600 or 10750 with a standard or single LNB setting. With some of the special LNBs for 118/119 you can set it to Universal LNB with a frequency range of 9750 to 10750. I have been able to get as much as 62 TPs (over 600 channels) with this setting with one particular 118/119. However, I do not recommend that setting unless you are forced to. The next 32 TPs shown at Lyngsat as 12224 R tp 1 to 12676 L tp 32 are the real (old) 119 TPs - used to be known as Echo 7 and now Echo 14. Notice the TP frequency higher than 12224 which means that a LNB frequncy of 11250 will catch these. Sometimes some cheap 118/119 LNB do not do an adequate job of catching the full range of 119 TPs and then you may have to resort to the Universal LNB setting described earlier.
110 LNB This was called Echo 8 before and now it is called Echo 10/11. You said you have it separate on the same dish. That further indicates to me that your other LNB is a generic 118/119 LNB. You said you are seeing some channels on it. You have to confirm that the channels you think are 110 channels are really 110 channels. Many people have flase struggled by seeing man yenglish channels and thinking they are 110 channels when they are really 119 channels. In that case because of the type of LNB used they would only get 119 channels and not 118. And your real 118/119 LNB will be pointing somewhere else.
Now try and understand fully what I have posted and then do some intelligent scanning using trial and errors method of "Scan all" Scan one TP" and "Blind Scan" and see the reults. Learning is the best method of knowing.
The thing is, I am afraid of scanning again and again as I heard lot of people having trouble after doing this excercise. But, for this, I think I will have to double check what you have mentioned for 119 and 110 specificly. If you say that 110 channels are actually 119 channels then, the channel list should be almost be same (if not exactly same). Right? Which I am sure its not since I have channel 400 (Tennis) on 110 which is a 110 channel.
But the first question is, if everything is up or not.
I did not say 110 channels are actually 119. To a person mainly interested in Indo-Pakistani TV, he does not bother to look carefully at the nature and the channels numbers and the TP of most for the English channels. That sort of person often makes the mistake of calling 119 channels 110 channels and vice versa. You, Iceman, from Icy lands, were not born in the tropics and therefore would not understand this, unless, of course, you were born in the keys of f;lorida. If later is the case, you would be trying to scan every word I and Plymouth write with only one intention - that of finding faults. Chaff is already chaffing with the beating he got from Plymouth.
Old man you can't read or can't see? Read Mustansar's post above ,he is asking you this question. so answer the man
But, for this, I think I will have to double check what you have mentioned for 119 and 110 specificly. If you say that 110 channels are actually 119 channels then, the channel list should be almost be same (if not exactly same). Right?
I tried it again just to see whats going on. I unplugged the internet, pinged the newlink, everything was good. Then I turned on the receiver and.....some of the channels, very few came up. Like 330 (TMC Extra), 101, ESPN2 and I think few more. But its not consistent. Some times they just show up and some times, they show as scrambled. I think its the newlink which is not consistent. I hope they would release a fix soon!
Don't bother for the time being the server is down no matter what u do u won't get anything only some channels are up with lots of freezing not worth of watching
Nice forums guys. I am in situation like Mustansar. Mustansar, I am thinking of going private server, which one you are using? I will post my situation on seperate post. Good postings especially from nydas, iceman.
goda Nydas doesn't have the experience Iceman has. Most of her posts are just information she copies from other members. Not that thats bad i guess but she doesn't know how to decipher it.
His experience come from c/p on other forum, half of his posts are only bashing. Sometime he is a good member and help but unfortunatly he is a pest on most of his posts!
does the private server work with sonicview hd 8000 with hd module and newlink? that is what I have got? Also, I have 61.5, 119 birds configured. I am getting chanells on 119 (except ppv movies) and not getting any channels on 61.5 (signal and quality is great)? any ideas?
There was a post here only a few days ago of 61.5W HD channels coming through to HD receiver - but I don't think they were referring to SV 8000 HD. I will let you know if I find anything more.
