trouble scanning TP

[SATGAZER]

I am missing some channels, one is -Ch. 121 on TP 12224 V - Sat 110. When I scan that TP it double up all the channels I already have on that TP and it doesn't load the missing channel. There are some other TP's that are the same. What am I doing wrong.? :noidea:

You're getting duplicate channels because your changing your lnb settings and rescanning. Play with it until you know what your lnb settings are and make sure they are correct then do a factory default and configure and scan once.

[n3uspeed2]

You need to tell us exactly what kind of lnb's they are or give us enough detail to identify them..then we can compare the settings that you configured if it is correct or not. If you assign the wrong type for what they are when you scan your going to miss channels..

I have , -Circular Dual Output KU Band LNBF- and a -EMP-Centuri 9 x 4 switch pros series - and my setting are:

Sat. 110
Diseqc 4
TP frq. 12224
LNB 11250
22KHz tone on

Search options One TP when I scan 1 TP at a time
All Channels when I scan after factory rest

I have factory rest and rescanned a couple of times ,and it always misses TP's (12471 on 119) (12374 on 110) and ( 12287 on 110). I always have to scan those TPs separetly ,it does scan 12224 but for some reason it doesn't pick up channel 121.

you are going to have to post your dish set-up ,lnbs how wires run,switches etc ,right now I see diseq and 22k switch on

you are going to have to post your dish set-up ,lnbs how wires run,switches etc ,right now I see diseq and 22k switch on

I have 3 - 24" Dishes and each one has a { Circular Dual Output KU Band LNBF } and each LNB has 2 coaxes running to a { EMP-Centuri 9 x 4 switch } one coax to a LNB vertical in connection ,and the other coax to a horizontal in connection , and from to out connections to my receivers . Below are the setting for each Satellite , they all have good quality signals.


Satellite....................Echo7 - 119w --- {Echo10/1 - 110w } ---- { Nimiq 1 - 91w }
DiSEqC...................2 ------------------ 4 ---------------------- 4
TP Frequency.........12239 -------------- 12239 ------------------ 12224
LNB..........................11250 ----------- 11250 ------------------- 11250
22KHz tone..............OFF --------------- ON --------------------- OFF
Multi-Dish Switch.... OFF ---------------- OFF -------------------- Off
Search Option..........All Channels-------- All Channels
LNB Power...............ON

If I'm not mistaken, the 22KHz option is only used with "Twin" LNB's, if useing all single-duals like you are, you would only use the DiSEqC options and 22KHz settings would all be set to OFF.

So 110w & 91w can't both be on DiSEqC #4.

[torpainter]

its a little trickier than that with that switch

Seems you have 110 and 91 on the same diseqc setting.As well as 110 starting at 12239 instead 12224.Typo or for real?

As AndyB pointed out, 110 TP is 12224, try fixing that.

I have had this set up for 2 years , with Nfusion units and now I also have a dreambox working on it and have never had a problem before ,and the nano works well too, and like I said before I get good (S and Q ) Signals - 78% to 96% ,It just misses some TPs And it misses some channels on the TPs it does scan.But I read on another post that the cheaper brand Of LNBs don't work well with these units , well I have the cheaper bands of TPs , maybe that what's wrong.

I use cheaper LNB's never had a problem, what I saw on the link Torpainter posted, the switch has 22KHz, wish connection has the 22KHz? wish LNB is connected to Centauri 22KHz Tone? Also a friend had a similar problem what he did was turn OFF receiver from back switch went to the diseq and removed each coax cable at a time and re connected them to make sure it was tight enough, when he turned ON the receiver that TP wish was dead got quality again.

the reason I used 12239 is because it give a stronger sign than 12224 ,I'll try What you said above , in the morning , because on the other recievers I use ,I do get a better sign with 12224, If it works i'll post

[andyb2]

Turbo the 22khz is just an option incase you have say a universal lnb and and need the 22khz to pass through to switch between high and low bands.If the reciever shows it on it should be off.The OP is using regular circular lnb's according to the info posted.

Yesterday I did what you said and it didn't make any difference so I change the switch and the LNB on sat.110 and now I don't need the 22KHz turned on any more .Now 119 is on DISEqC - 1 ,110 on DISEqC - 2 ,and 91 is on DISEqC - 3 , and 22KHz is turned off , And I still can't get a signal on TP 12224 , in order to get a lock on sat.110 ,I have to use a different TP 12239 or any other TP will lock on the satellite.All the channel I want down load except channel 121.

Does your receiver allow you to manually add a channel?

VID 4130 AUD 4131 PCR 4130

If it does ,I don't know how to do it . I have a Nano2
