61.5 Satellite Transponders

[Tusk]

After messing around with my second dish off and on for two months (I did my own installation), I am finally getting a signal. However, the only transponders I receive a signal on are 25, 27, 29, 31. According to lyngsat, 25 isn't even listed, and I don't have access to transponder 23 at all (where additional PPV are at). Is lyngsat correct? What could my problem be?

I am running a 721 with a dish 500 dp twin, dp34, and dish 300 dp single. Thanks.

I would assume you ARE on 61.5 Echostar? If you are, and have a good signal, reset the receiver and redo the switch tests to assure the 721 is "seeing" all the birds.
It might require a software download to be able to view programming at 61.5.

You are seeing all of the Odd Numbered transponders the receiver will let you see. You are missing the Even numbered Transponders. Are you sure you have a DISH Pro LNBF on the 61.5 dish? It may be defective.

Lyngsat is correct. You need to check the Sky Angel page to find Tps 25 and 32.

The receiver will not allow you to check signal strength on Tps 1-23 odd and Tp 24 as these are not licensed to EchoStar or Dominion Sky Angel, even though they are using some of them under an STA from the FCC.

I took the signal I was getting on transponders 25, 27, 29, 31 and completed my dp34 connection. Rebooted the 721. Now I have signal on all even transponders beginning with 2 - 22 plus 25 up. When I select the HD preview channel and go into the point dish setup, it gives me a signal strength for tp 23. Thanks for everyone's comments.
