I am actually thinking of doing that for my mother since they allow only 1 sat in her community. BLANK
in relation to the dn sats, which direction, angle and skew are the bev sats (for the 2nd dish) for example, is is a little more to the right and up? etc.
does the 4 lnbf's on an elliptical dish have built in switches or will you be required to run seprate cables and install a bunch of switches and then have the headache of receiver setup to understand all he external switches breck? jhardy031, The BEV Sats are 82W and 91W as opposed to DN that are 110W and 119W. so you'd be looking to go somewhat your left counterclockwise. Not to difficult to fnd.
Well i am not breck but capable of answering this question. 1 sole DiSeqc switch can accomodate 4 lnbf's (sats) going to 1 receiver. If you want more than 1 receiver than you can purchase a seperate 4x4 switch which will allow 4 sats to hook up to 4 receivers BLANK
Sorry guys, I asked this question in all the wrong ways. I figured it out. I've should of asked it diff. I was just asking how to set up my dish settings and which lnb type to use. thanks
This is what I found and used to guide me; Just in case anyone else runs into this problem. "QOUTE" DISH SETTINGS!! This is very important to know your dish setup, Lnb(s) and switch(s) being used. If you do not know this info then proceed to the bottom of this manual and there are links to help you determine which setup type you have! One easy way to determine which type of lnb(s) you have is to look at the label, if you see a DP logo or Dishpro logo then you have Dishpro Lnb's, if you do not see this logo then most likely it's a Legacy Lnb. Next would be to look at the # of ports on the Lnb. 1.) Push Menu on remote 2,) Go to Installation and if prompted to enter a password use 0000 or 0103 (master Pin) 3.) Go to Dish Setting and choose your satellite to be setup. Legacy Single or Dual LNB’s using a 4x1 Diseqc switch: Echostar 7 --119.0W LNB Power: on LNB Type: Single LNB Frequency: 11250 22Khz: off Diseqc Switch: 1.0 Committed: 1 -------You may use different port # Legacy SW: off Echostar 6,8 --110.0W LNB Power: on LNB Type: Single LNB Frequency: 11250 22Khz: off Diseqc Switch: 1.0 Committed: 2 -------You may use a different port # Legacy SW: off No need to assign certain switch settings and you may setup to any ports you like as long as they match your Committed settings! People do like using 119 committed 1, 110 committed 2, and 91 committed 3 etc... For Dish Pro type lnb's: Echostar 7 -119.0W LNB Power: ON LNB Type: OCS-DIP LNB Freq: 11250 22Khz: Off DiSEqC Switch: 1.0 Committed: 1 Legacy SW: Off Echostar 6,8 -110.0W LNB Power: ON LNB Type: OCS-DIP LNB Freq: 11250 22Khz: Off DiSEqC Switch: 1.0 Committed: 2 Legacy SW: Off If using 1 DP Twin or quad and no other lnb's or switch involved then you may run one cable straight to receiver then set your dish settings as displayed above! Make sure your switch settings and dish settings are set to the following ports 119- Committed 1 and 110- Committed 2! ***If adding another lnb then you must run 2 lines from your Twin or Quad lnb to a switch with the same dish settings, then your other lnb would go to committed 3 and committed 4!*** Depending on your setup you can use a diseqc switch, Dp21, Dp34, Dp44 switch. No matter which Dishpro Lnb assembly is used, you may add up to a max of three dp34, Dp44 switches with a max cable distance of 200 feet from the LNB assembly to the furthest receiver! For Legacy Twin or Quad with no switch: Echostar 7 -119.0W LNB Power: ON LNB Type: Legacy Twin LNB1----OR----Legacy Quad LNB1 LNB Freq: 11250 22Khz: Off DiSEqC Switch: OFF Legacy SW: Off Echostar 6,8 -110.0W LNB Power: ON LNB Type: Legacy Twin LNB2----OR----Legacy Quad LNB2 LNB Freq: 11250 22Khz: Off DiSEqC Switch: OFF Legacy SW: Off If running one cable straight to receiver with no switch involved then set your dish settings as displayed above! Make sure your switch settings are set to the following ports 119- LNB1 and 110- LNB2! ***If adding another lnb then you must run 2 lines from your lnb to a diseqc switch then setup is the same but your other lnb would go to committed 3 and committed 4!*** When setting your “Dish Setting” you will see a signal meter on the bottom of the screen: Level: [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 94% Quality: [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] [] 99%----You want your quality over 80% AUTOSCAN 1.) Menu 2.) Installation 3.) Go to Auto Scan and press ok When in your Auto Scan sat list, you may highlight all your receivable sats then go to the right side of the screen and highlight search type “All”, turn “Network Search On”, then press “OK” to start the scan. This will scan your satellites simultaneously. You may also scan 1 sat at a time, it is recommended to choose you Sat’s in order with your DiSEqC settings, first highlight your Sat that’s using DiSEqC 1, then DiSEqC 2, 3, and 4 OR choose Sats from highest to lowest. Now go to right side of the screen and highlight search type “All”, turn “Network Search On”, then press “OK” to start the scan.
Here we go again. We sure are getting hit alot. Hope we get bins for the coolsat a little quicker this time. When I purchased my coolsat was told bins would last up to 3 months. Boy has that not been true. But I can't complain, it has been great having ppv when its up. Good luck everyone and Merry Christmas.
LOL - come quick. Don't think so. BEV users have been waiting for 2 weeks or more now. And still nothing. Some came out yesterday and sounds like they are no good.
Thx Mr Beck ,Mr Bill 38 ,Mr Jerry All of you so generous i'm leraning a lot from you guys now Merry Christmas
