Okay I got a cw800 and 24inch d*$h 500 and a twin dish pro lnb I got it all hooked up and got bin loaded scanned for channels and got about 600 channels on 110and119 but it says signal is week on some of the channels. I went to attena setting and got it on 110 and quality is 94 and streghth 96 and 119 is quality 99 strength 97 but when it starts scanning for channels and changing transponders is loses signal and get week signal on some transponders how do i fix this. thanks

My first question is did you install this dish? If you did, read the below and you will probably have to put in the settings and skew your dish (on the back) to around 127 and realign for satellites. This makes the dish lean to the left and it will look funny, but it is right. If the dish was preinstalled by someone you are probably all set and good to go.

All you need to do is run one cable from the back of the dish to one of the LNB ports. (You do NOT need the DiSEqC switch you may have received with your reciever, there is a DiSEqC switch built into a DP LNB)

Proper Antenna Settings:

Echo 7 119W
LNB Type: OCS-DP
LNB Freq: 11250
DiSEqC: Port 1
TP: 12239

Echo 8 110W
LNB Type: OCS-DP
LNB Freq: 11250
DiSEqC: Port 2
TP: 12224

I would do a Factory Default and start Antenna Setups over again. You will NOT have to install software again to do this. Just Factory Default and setup the first satellite above. Then Hit the red button to Auto Scan Echo 7. You will notice that the satellite name you are setting up appears in the upper right also. These have to match, and then you will know you have it setup right.

When the screen changes after the Auto Scan above, it is done scanning, then do the same for Echo 8 110W.

After the scans are done, go into User settings, be sure AutoTP is ON, Sort by SID is ON, Long Channel Names is set to ON. Exit and if Picture doesn't come up, do not forget to hit F1 and 000 (three zeros) to enable the patch.

You may also Renumber Locals by your entering your city and state.

Good Luck !!

okay I have did this I have around 580 channels But only some of them will play it says week signal but when i scan my signal starts at 110 quality 93% strength 96% 119 quality 99% strength 97% but when it scans and changes transponders it gets weeker signall as it scans.

Well, I hope you installed the new bin on it first. That is the only thing I can think of. And enabled the patch with F1 and 000 (three zeros).

Have you also done the factory default as I asked? You may have too many channels piling up on it.

I would try it again. You also see the satellite name appear when putting in settings, right?
