I have the latest 122 bin file and tried the Dido Smith Channel List but I am still unable to get the channels from echo 119. I heard that with the Dish 500 you have to change the horizontal to vertical for the transponders which is what I think the dish pro DIDO SMITH channel list does but it still doesnt work after installing and a blind scan. In the antennae setup it shows 80%+ Level and 95%+ on Quality. The thing is it shows that same level and quality for all the other echo satellites. ex - echo 3 or 4. I have an RG6 coaxial cable plugged in the 119 degree part of the twin LNB and straight into the Pansat 3500s receiver. But all I get when I do a blind scan is the channels from echo 110. I've searched through a bunch of old post and can't find anything that helps so I decided to post. Any help would be appreciated.

It could be the channel list. Pansat new bin is supporting the DP LNB, so you may not have to converting the TP. Just in your receiver setting on the LNB TYPE select the DISHPRO LNB, then scam

I have tried that and it still doesn't work. Any other suggestions? Could it be the way the dish is pointed even though it shows near full strength on the level and quality? Also how come it shows good quality for me on all the other echo satellites besides 110 and 119?

May be what you can try is from the remote control, set the receiver to factory setting, this will default all receiver setting and delete the channel list. Start from beginning again.

Just remember, you said you have Dispro-500, it you dish have an buildin internal switch, and do you use the external switch?

No I did not use the switch that came with the pansat.

Any other suggestions? Tried the factory reset and set it to dish pro under the antennae setup. Then did the blind scan for both echo (8.6) 110 and (echo 7) 119 and it has the same channels. Do the same thing for echo 9 and echo 3 but all the channels are all from echo 110.

Your dish is only pointed at 110.

Pansat receivers do not care what the bird is called - when you do a blind scan, and a bird is there that fits the frequency range for the settings you pick, it will pick those channels up - even though it is not the bird that you want.

You need to move your dish about a quarter inch and you should find 119.

The real trick after that is adjusting the dish until you can get both birds at the same time. (This is where the skew comes into play)

Good Luck!

I kinda thought that it might not be pointed at both of them. All the echos showing full quality and level made me hesitant in moving the dish. I will try to adjust it and see if i can pick up both satellites. Any pointers on doing this such as setting the skew or any other tips.

Thanks I will let you guys know if I am successful.

For dish 500 Skew setting of the dish is v. important, again check ur skew, Azimuth and elevation. Now to do dish pointing easily and surely, you can use ( if U have ) the old DN receiver, also in that receiver u have to set the dish500 option, once the dish is pointed correctly, and when u will select the 110 or 119 option, the signal meter will turn from red to green.

Hope will help, u wil be successfull soon.:D

I just finished setting up a Dish500 with DP Lnb Twin.

Receiving 110 & 119 with the following setup.

1 Wire comming off LNB into my Pansat 3500S
119 on Disq#1 (in receiver setup)
110 on Disq#2 (in receiver setup)
22KH OFF on both
LNB Type= DishPro
