FTA on EchoStars

[paulrtsai]

I am trying to get FTA on EchoStar Sat. but the TP position is set either L or R, not H or V.
My Lifetime Ultra can only set for H and V, how do I set to L or R ?

Thanks

You need to use a dish network LNB that uses cercular polarization (although universal LNB will pick some transponders). Then just do a blind search and you don't even have to worry about L/R - V/H.

R=V, H=L
besure to set the lnbf LO to 11250

FTA receivers will only receive channels that are being broadcast unencrypted, those channels come and go on the echostar sats. Lots of music channels thou.
