hi patrick thanks for replying...here is my lnb config..here is my dish setup outside...for dish 500 have twin lnb and all together i have four wires coming down but out of four its only 2 which connected to the twin lnbs through switch and two of them not...thats how it is from begining..for dish 300 i have one lnbs (single) that has two wire connected top lnb to switch..because i get channels from dish 300 but not from 500...i don't know why..patrick if you can reply soon.....thanks............

echostar 6,8

high l.0 = 11.250
lnb power = on

if i am you, this is how i do, look to the dish500 from it's front
*connect the first left port lnb out to the diseqc switch port 1
*connect the fourth port lnb out to the diseqc switch port 2
*connect the lnb out from dish300 to diseqc switch port 3

the lnb type = standard for all three
frequency hi lo = 11250 for all
lnb power = on for all
22khz = off for all
echostar 6,8 diseqc = 1
echostar 7 diseqc = 2
international??? diseqc =3
enjoy:beer:

yes, you can do your way to get the international channels by doing like that, but that the way most of the guys do and having no epg because the channels bleed in from different sat. the above instruction is the perfer to go for. before doing scanning, you may need to go in = menu, satellite collection and add " user 1" additional to the satellites you have on the list( no config needed), this is for dealing with dishnet transponders relocating...:wow:
