I selected the 119 satellite, and I only get 16 of the music channels. I have a Fortec Star 786v3. what do I have to do?

Thanks

Alex

Make sure you have a DSS CIRCULAR type LNBF installed not a standard or universal LINEAR type LNBF.

The LO freq for the DSS lnbf is 11250
Go to the Antenna settings, select antenna 2
change the LNBF type to SINGLE
change the LO freq to 11250
click on store.

Go to channel search
change antenna to 2
Search mode: NIT FTA (this is the best mode for searching DSS satellites)
Make sure the dish is aligned to Echostar 119
Click on start and watch the music channels get downloaded.

Enjoy and let us know if the above works for you.... it should.. :lol:

I aimed the dish at 110 instead and got all 50 of the channels. I used the fortecstar lnbf. Now it makes me wonder can the sat. info be off on the reciever? and if the information is incorrect, how can I fixit?
