Hey all -

I realligned my 1000.2 Dish to get a signal from 129, using only the 3rd LNB for 129 as designated. The menu in the 9200 however said "locked on Echo 8", eventhough I had selected the Echo 5 Sat to allign to? What am I doing wrong - is there a wrong setting, do all LNBs need to be powered for the 3rd to work? Should I use a singal LNB instead? Please help as I have been waiting for HD for a long time and only have like 15 channels with Echo 8.

Thanks!

In the antenna setup, did you change the Diseqc to the appropriate number?

I'm having a similar problem, I'm able to get HD on e**o 8, but I can't get anything on 129. For me I have signal on 20.00 (no quality on any transponders), but as soon as I go to any transponder on 21.500 the signal goes to 0.

My guess is the alignment is off (which is probably your problem too), or perhaps my cable is too long (but then how am I getting HD on the other bird), or I'm using a monster sirius cable combiner thing and am thinking maybe that is interfering.
