Perfect Setup for new Dish 500 HP Plus

[TROOPER]

/p

This setup has worked perfectly on 2 VS Xtreme receivers with the new 500 HD Plus dish. I did not try the settings on any other receivers or dishes. This information was collected from this and different forums and I do not take credit for it, I only made it clean and simple. If you are ready to follow instructions, here you go:

Reset receiver to "Factory Default"
Load Factory BIN
Load Latest BIN - DO NOT SCAN ANYTHING UNTIL I LIST IT BELOW
Now time to edit TPs
Go into the "CHANNEL SCAN" Menu so you can edit TPs

Under EchoStar 7 (119 W) scroll down to TP list
Delete the following: 12224 TP (This Spot Beam is for different Satellite)
Now exit and SAVE

Under EchoStar 8,10 (110 W) scroll down to TP list
Delete the following: 12239 TP (This will eliminate duplicate channels since it's for the 119 Sat)
Now exit and SAVE

Now open the Satellite Menu list and change the following settings;

Satellite: EchoStar 8,10 or (110 W)
LNB Power.............. ON
LNB Type............... OSC-Dp
LNB Freq................ 11250
22KHz.................... OFF
TP Freq.................. 12224
Search Option.......... ALL
DiESqC 1.0............... Port 2
Motor...................... OFF
Legacy SW............... None, unless you are using some type of switch

Exit and SAVE

Satellite: EchoStar 7, or (119 W)
LNB Power.............. ON
LNB Type............... OSC-Dp
LNB Freq................ 11250
22KHz.................... OFF
TP Freq.................. 12239
Search Option.......... ALL
DiESqC 1.0............... Port 1
Motor...................... OFF
Legacy SW............... None, unless you are using some type of switch

Exit and SAVE

NOW go to installation menu, Auto Scan and perform the channel scan FOR 110 & 119 ONLY. DO NOT BLIND SCAN

Now time for 118.7 settings, although a lot of people are trying to add the .SAT file for the 118.7, Ididn't. I worked off the 121 ONLY, but you have to edit the TP list before configuring or scanning it, here we go:

Go into the "CHANNEL SCAN" Menu so you can edit TPs

Under EchoStar 9 (121 W) scroll down to TP list
Now edit your TP list exactly like this:

1 11715 20000 V 3/4
2 12872 20000 V 3/4
3 11745 20000 V 3/4
4 12842 21500 V 2/3
5 11776 21500 V 2/3
6 12811 20000 V 3/4
7 11806 20000 V 3/4
8 12781 21500 V 2/3
9 11837 21500 V 2/3
10 12750 21500 V 2/3
11 11867 21500 V 2/3
12 12720 21500 V 2/3
13 11928 21500 V 2/3
14 12659 21500 V 2/3
15 11959 20000 V 3/4
16 12628 21500 V 2/3
17 11989 20000 V 3/4
18 12598 20000 V 3/4
19 12567 20000 V 3/4
20 12050 20000 V 3/4
21 12537 20000 V 3/4
22 12081 20000 V 3/4

24 12111 20000 V 3/4
25 12476 20000 V 3/4
26 12142 20000 V 3/4
27 12445 20000 V 3/4

Exit and SAVE

Now go under your Satellite settings again and change to the following:

Satellite: EchoStar 9, or (121 W)
LNB Power.............. ON
LNB Type............... OSC-DP
LNB Freq................ 10750
22KHz.................... OFF
TP Freq.................. 11715
Search Option.......... ALL
DiESqC 1.0............... Port 3 (I think it would work on different port, but didn't test)
Motor...................... OFF
Legacy SW............... None, unless you are using some type of switch

Exit and Save.

NOW go to installation menu, Auto Scan and perform the channel scan FOR 121 ONLY. DO NOT BLIND SCAN

Hope this helps everyone a bit
