I am having problems with catching channels. A lot of the channels that were working before now say no signal, Also in the dish settings the only satellite it shows in the top right hand corner is Echostar 7 (119.0) it never showed anik f3 or echostar 8 (110), im supposing it never picked those up.




the way i have it set up and the problem:

my family has service with dish only for their international channels. they receive them perfectly out in the living room. the satellite is connected to the living room with a dishnetwork satellite receiver model 1000 (old receiver) which powers the switch with an adapter. As listed above the switch i have is the dp34. I have a seperate line in another room which comes from the switch to the sonicview premier 360. I was never able to pick up 110 or anik f3 as i stated but i would really like to get this thing working. I understand the international has moved to N3, but i would mainly like to receive 110 and 119 perfectly if i could.

on the dishnetwork receiver model 1000 i checked the switch and it says its working fine.

Is there anyone that can help me? I tried different LNB frequencies and difference transponder frequencies but to no avail. i am never able to get a high signal or quality. Is it the switch?

As i mentioned in the dish settings, above the graph on the right it always says echostar 7. even when i am trying to change the settings for echostar 8, it says echostar 7 above the graph and echostar 8 below the graph. So i suppose that means it is not picking up an echostar 8 signal or something?

how can i fix this problem?


Please help me.
