did you scan the 110??? Do a blind scan for 110. Id rename them to ECHO 110 and ECHO 119 and erase all channels and then do a blind scan for both. Ill find a topic around here for ya.

I didnt understand #1 but I tried this anyway, I dont know what ird is. It got me most the channels though, what im looking for is a channel list though, would be easier then doin this yourself but here it is, try this. Fairly easy to do. If you dont understand how to do whatever part of it, let me know, ill explain as best as I can, good luck. If I cant get a good channel list ill prabably make my own and ill put it on here to share with everyone.

1. Delete ALL channels on ird.(sat reciever)

2. Go into SAT Edit and rename your Dish 110 to ECHO 110 and rename Dish 119 to ECHO 119. (the space between ECHO and 110 is important!)

3. do a BLIND scan on each sat, ECHO 110 & ECHO 119. (Takes At least 10 min per sat) NOTE: My 2700 got "hung up" during a blind scan, I stopped, deleted the partially loaded channel list, for that SAT only, re scanned to 100%, all ok.

4. When complete, push SAT button on remote, you will now have a choice you have not previously had "ECHOSTAR PACKAGE"

5. Select ECHOSTAR PACKAGE and select any channel. This will convert EPG Button to ECHOSTAR PACKAGE and your epg will match match D**H Network channels. ( provided you are pointed at 110 and 119)


After doing this, you will see there is no need to load a channel list and epg works fast on most channels, slow to come up on others.

does it matter if i have two satellites or one satellite for 119 and 110 because i only have one that gets both of them

ps. we already have "ECHOSTAR PACKAGE" :) but only got the 119 channels

ok i renamed the ECHO 8.6 to "ECHO 110" and ECHO 7 to "ECHO 119" did a blind scan and it found like 530 channels then i click SAT and click ECHO 110 but at the bottom it still says ECHOSTAR 119W all the channels

Hmmmm IDK how that works man, in mine theres like 5 million satelites and two of them are 119 and 110, I just renamed them both and added ECHO to the begining of them.

I was hopin some1 here who has a perfect channel list would add it here for download so lets see what happens.

Ill look more into your problem, ive got the same 1.

Well I just blind scaned ECHO 110 and it picked up a good load of channels, there ALL doubled though, idk wth that is all about, will have to upload the channel list and get rid of every extra. Tried a few, they worked, it was great. Tried EPG and couldnt see anything though.

Do you mean that you only have 1 LNB? The LNB is the pickup on the dish. You must have 2 pickups, two cables etc to get two satellites. The satellite is the vehicle in orbit. You must be pointed at each one with a seperate LNB.

i got one dish (round thing:) ) it has two lbn (i think) but i think i found the problem because doesnt it have to be two wires going in to the switch thing (110 & 119?)(the one that came with the reciever) and another going out to the reciever? because i think my friend only has one wire in and one wire out :lol:, ill check tomorrow

could that be the problem? if it is why does it pick up the 119 channels when i blind scan the 110

ps. whats the difference between nagravision and nagravision 2 cause i just got nagravision

"doesnt it have to be two wires going in to the switch thing"
Each of the two lnbs must be connected to the switch. You probably only have a signal coming from 119. When you scan 110 you're not really scanning it; you're scanning 119. The receiver doesn't know what sat it's scanning. You must have both LNB's connected to the switch and tell the receiver which side of the switch each is on. Here's some good info:
