I got my 6000HXC Thursday and got it hooked up to my DishPro Quad LNB which I'm sharing with my Dishnetwork PVR921. Both units are connected directly from LNB to tuner, with no switches.

I powered up the 6000 and clicked "English". Then I went to the System menu and did a factory reset. Next I loaded the 3109 bin. I went to the Setup Antenna section and located Echo 7 and Echo 8.6. When loading one of these into the Antenna setup header I then arrowed down to LNB type and arrowed to the right until Dish Pro was listed. Next I worked my way down the list past the DiSEqC switch setting which was set to #1 and stopped on LNB power and turned it off. I read somewhere in the forum that one of you was running a DishPro LNB, without a DiSEqC switch, and had 119 set at #1 and 110 set at #2 on the DiSEqC setting. So that's what I did.

Once I entered these antenna settings I was able to save the satellites. Once saved I went to Edit Satellite/TP and changed Echo 7 to Echo 119 and Echo 8.6 to Echo 110.

I then scanned my 119 satellite followed by the 110 satellite. Once done I was able to tune into the channels. I clicked the SAT button and chose the Echostar Package. Now, when I click "OK" I see the correct channel numbers. When I go to the EPG I also see the correct numbers. Now for the problem...I have two of everything.

Thinking I scanned improperly, I did a factory reset and started over and was very careful as I set everything up. When I finished scanning, I had two channels of everything, again.

The thing is...all the channel doubles work. Some are on 110 and some are on 119. Then I think I remembered that DishPro scanning should either be all Verticle or all Horizontal. I tried verticle first. I did this by editing the TP and deleting all Horizontal TP from 110 and then the same for 119. I tried to scan and got 119 finished but 110 would never scan. So I reset again and did an edit on the TPs to get rid of all verticles, keeping only the Horizontals. When I finished the scan, I still had duplicate channels.

So this time I went to channel edit and deleted all the duplicates. This seemed to work. Now I had only one of each channel in my list. So I did a backup to HDD so I wouldn't have to do that again.

I tried a little recording and once the timer recording started, I became curious as to how to see a live channel other than the one recording. So I pushed PIP and could see the recording in a small and a large window. I tried to channel up and then down to find a different source but the unit kept giving me a "scrambled or bad channel" error. It the began counting upward by percentage as though the keys had rolled. It never got a channel. I ended up canceling the recording and trying to get a PIP with two different shows. It would go to pip but would not give me a second source.

So now I'm remembering all the duplicate channels I deleted.... Yup! I rescanned the satellites after one more factory reset and now I have all the duplicate channels again and I still can't get two different sources in the PIP.

At this point, the only thing I haven't tried is setting the DiSEqC switch setting to none or off to see if that will impact anything. Any of you 6000HXC testers got any ideas as to where I'm going wrong?

One of you said he was having a clock problem. Mine seems to be right on, although I had to play with it somewhat. During the noon hour, I couldn't find a numerical sequence that would set the clock to pm. 12:20 pm setting would switch to am. So I tried 13:20 which jumped to 1:20pm. 00:20 went to 12:20am. So I patiently waited until after 1pm Central and put in 13:08 and it jumped straight to 1:08pm! For Central I'm at GMT -6. I like the fact that when you set the GMT to -6 it tells you it's Central by printing it on screen. I've always been confused as to what I should set the GMT.

This appears to be a slick little unit. If I can get past the small problems it's gonna be great. The only thing better is when we go High Def!

I do not use the DishPro Quad LNB. I did run into someone using your setup thou during my many hours of reading fta forums. I will see if I can find the thread again and let you know. If I remember correctly the reason you are getting the double channels is because the DishPro Quad LNB has built in switchs that cause some gref with FTA irds.

Great! I've tried everything and still duplicates. Also some PPVs are missing. Some regular channels are also not there.

Actually I haven't tried everything. I am scanning both H and V on both satellites. I'm trying to remember if that's incorrect. I mentioned this in another post. I also mentioned I had a tuner problem but have remedied that for now but scanned H and V on bothe 119 and 110 and still have duplicate channels.

Just like the 5000HC. this caused by having 2 tuners and both selected in the Sat configuration screen. Select either tuner 1 on tuner 2 at scan time on each satellite, do not use tuner 1 and 2 cuz you will get duplicates. After scan is done you can set it back to tuner 1 and 2.

OK! I wondered if I was setting the tuner setup properly. I noticed the manual being a little weak in discussing the "why" when listing a feature. All it says is "Tuner 1, 2 or Tuners 1 and 2 can be selected". Duh! I'll give this a try as soon as I get home. Thanks.

Last night I reset to Factory and tried changing the 119 lnb setting to single tuner 1 and the 110 setting to Tuner 2 and did a new scan. I still got duplicate channels. I then reset to Factory and changed both satellites to Tuner 1 and then scanned. I got duplicate channels again but this time I had no NY or LA networks as I had each time before and got all PPVs. This told me I was on the right track. I was still scanning with the satellites DiSEqC switches set to "off". I reset to Factory and put 119 at DiSEqC #1 and 110 at #2 and rescanned. Finally, everything came in correctly. I'm going to post a new thread with all the steps that worked.
