Do not mess around the the firmware until you are familiar with the receiver. Firmware upgraded in simple but you must follow the instruction correctly. I don't mean to scare you, but first try to get the receiver work.
Back to the DirectTV dish. Check the dish to see if it has 3 lnbfs saperately. As I know, the new
DTV dish has a new type of lnbf which has an internal switch for 3 sats.
If your dish has 3 saperate lnbfs, here is you can try:
Connect a cable from 119 lnbf to the Lifetime, set the LO as single, change the LO freq to 11250. Select Echostar 7, use scan transponder option, then scan the freq 12297, H. You should get 12 channels or so. One of the is NASA which is FTA.
Let us know if you want to try.

Note: There is a minor bug with firmware 2.17, the signal meter stay constantly at 50% or so. This bug is fixed with the firmware 2.19
