The present bin software now contains some innovations
that allows the receiver to do an excellent job in scanning in channel data. It is highly
recommended not to do Blind Scans but to do Auto Scans with Network On to
obtain your channel data and to do your scans in the same order your lnbs are
committed on. To use this feature via the remote, Enter Menu > Installation > Enter Password (0000) > Auto Scan > Scroll to Satellite you want to Scan > Use volumn up button to move to set options in scan. Enable Search Type All and Network On > Press OK to begin scan. Let it finish and save and then move on to the next satellite you want to scan. The scan will pick up converted transponders used by Dishpro Lnbs automatically for lnbs using the LOF of 11250. My testing shows Dishpro Lnbs using the LOF of 10750 will only pick up
the vertical transponders and not the horizontal transponders. Converting horizontal transponders to vertical transponders must be done manually for 105W and 121W satellites. The following is a method you can use to pick up the missing converted transponders.
With the remote, enter the Manual Scan option for the 105W satellite and reviewed the transponders listed on the satellite by scrolling through the transponders shown in Frequency. As you scroll through the transponders on the list you will see each transponder listed by frequency, Symbol Rate and Polarity. Transponders receiving no signal will be in red and show no signal. First, delete all horizontal transponders by using the "yellow" delete button to get rid of non-functioning transponders.
Second, enter the converted transponder frequency. To determine converted frequency, subtract the horizontal frequency number from 25,600 (Satellite Base Address) to obtain the new converted frequency number. Rather than redoing the mat
h, you can simply opened an existing Dishpro list for 105 and picked up the converted transponders that do not show up in the transponder list for the satellite. To add the new converted frequency, click on the "green" button while in the manual scan mode for the satellite you wish to add the new transponder. This will open the transponder edit window, where you can enter the new frequency, symbol rate and vertical polarity. Make sure scan is set to all and the network scan is off since you only want to scan one transponder. When data is entered, click on OK, and the receiver will save and when complete, it will begin scanning in the transponder frequency you just created. Repeat the process by going to the next transponder you want to add by clicking on the green button, and continue for all transponders you wish to add until you have finished.
The manual scan mode is also a method to add any missing or local channels that may not be in your channel data. With remote, got into the manual scan opt
ion and scroll to the satellite you want to add the channels for. Scroll to the transponder where the channel is carried and again verify scan setting is all and network scan is off. Previous channels will not be duplicated and new ones will add after scan is complete.
