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
