Do I need to attach cable to the 119 side of LNB? I've written down and tried about every combination of sat set-up configs. I just get some duplicate channels. What I really want is ESPN, CNN, & TWC!

peters.chris360, on your dish, are there two lnb's or is it just one? You need to have your 4 x 1 diseqc switch that came with your receiver, do not hook it up at first, run a cable from your lnb to receiver and home in signal first and then if you have 2 lnbs on that dish, once you get 119 homed in, unhook it and hook to 110 lnb and check signal first, alot of times if you get 119 in strong you will have signal on 110 when you hook it up, if not, you should only need to move dish just a little to pick up 110, they are only 9 degree apart in the sky, remember to always cut off switch on back of receiver when hooking and unhooking lnbs. Also, 119 has to be set on tp 12239 and 110 will set on 12224 which is default tp. If looking at dish from front, your 110 will be lnb on left and 119 will be lnb on right, if you have 2 lnbs on that dish. Once you have homed in both birds, then cut off receiver with switch on back and put your diseqc switch in place, have remember your ports you pick for 110 and 119, because you will need those correct ports when you set up your receiver, if you put 110 on port 1, then make sure you put it on port 1 in your set up and so forth. Remember 119 you will have to adjust tp freg. to 12239 to get signal as well. Let us know if you are up and running or have other problems
