OLD SETTINGS FOR CW EchoStar 7 (119W) and EchoStar 6,8 (110W) settings
These are the two main Dish Network birds. There are very few FTA "in the clear" channels on these birds. You can receive the NASA channel, and some Dish Network information channels only. However, for testing purposes, if you wish to lock onto them here is the information:
EchoStar 7 (119W)
Transponder - 12268 Transponder Freq - 11250 LNB Type - OCS-DP 22Khz - Off DiSEqC Number - LNB1 Legacy SW - None Motorized - None
EchoStar 6,8 (110W)
Transponder - 12224 Transponder Freq - 11250 LNB Type - OCS-DP 22Khz - Off DiSEqC Number - LNB2 Legacy SW - None Motorized - None
The "Dish 500" minidish is equiped with a DP Twin LNB. The typical Dish Network Diseqc's settings are:
119: port 1 (for dish 500) Set the Diseqc for EchoStar 7 to Port 1 110: port 2 (for dish 500) Set the Diseqc the EchoStar 6,8 to Port 2 61.5: port 3
