I need help I am new to this and have problems with my setup.I am going to give as much imformation as I can.I have a Neusat sp 6000 with main version 1.72G11C5M1S2(R3501) and boot version 1.38 and data version 26 last updated 13/11/2006 22:57:39 and I am useing a Directv AT9 dish with model number FW9 Ka/Ku lnb and model FW2 110/119 lnb my problem is that when I scan I can channels off of 14 diffrent satellites but they are the same and they are mostly Canadian channels.My freind has the same unit but with a diffrent dish and he gets all the locals for our area and other areas in the usa plus all the hbo's and all the good usa channels why can't I do the same is it the dish that I have because we both have the same unit with the 2009-1 bin file.I have been playing with this for about 2 weeks and no success so any help would be great.
Thanks

sounds like your dish is pointed wrong. If your picking up BEV, you need to rotate your dish west.

Sounds to me like you're using the wrong dish for that application.. here's the rundown on that dish...
DirecTV Ka/Ku 5 LNB Satellite Dish, Model AT9

This new dish from DIRECTV encompasses three LNBs to receive the 101°, 110°, and 119° degree satellites, plus the new Ka satellites at 99°and 103° for local HD programming. AT9 Multi-satellite Dish required for use of H20 receiver on the HD Locals.

The DirecTV Ka/Ku Multi-Satellite Dish antenna is primarily designed for use with up to four independently operating DirecTV Ka/Ku MPEG 4 HD Receivers but will function with other DirecTV receivers as well.

That dish suffers from the same problems as the PhaseIII, which you need to read up on.. nasty thing to try and make work on Dishnet..

And besides.. you've already answered all your own questions in yoru thread:
My freind has the same unit but with a diffrent dish and he gets all the locals for our area and other areas in the usa plus all the hbo's and all the good usa channels

Get yourself a nice used Dish500, and enjoy all the channels that you're missing..

Good Luck

Thanks Djmbs
I thought it might be the dish I just needed someone to confirm it before I purchased a diffrent one you said try A dish 500 I am going to take my unit to my freinds house first and hook up to his dish and see what happens.Again thanks for yor help.

hey Jethro.. taking your box to your friend's place is a great idea.. give it a whirl there, and see what you get... if you like the results.. go with either what dish/LNB he has, or a dish500..

Good Luck

Which would be better a dish 500 or dish 1000 or super dish 121 I want to make sure I get the right one this time
Thanks

If you're looking for basic Dish programming... 110/119 is the ticket, and a Dish500 will get that for you very well.. I'd suggest a DPro Twin on that..

Hope that helps...
