Hi, Guys:

This is my first post, and I'm new on this. Hope some can help me and thanks in advance. I have Dish Network 500 and an Orasat 5 box loaded with the 1.2 image. I can see all channels from Echostar 7 without problems and that's really good; but I can't see any channels from Echostar 6,8. I had changed the Multi-Dish Switch SW21 for the 4x1 DiSEqC Switch (the switch that came with the Orasat) to see if the problem is the switch. I did a Satellite Scan for Echostar 6,8 but I still have the same problem: I can't see any channels from Echostar 6,8. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!

we need more information about the type of lnb you are using on 500 dish, as soon as we have it, you will have both birds up and running in no time:beer:

Calfornia Amplifier
P/N 150517
Direct TV Multi Satellite
Direct TV Dish Para Todos
and Direct TV Dish Antennas

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks!
