Viewsat Ultra - Missing Channels

I recently had a Viewsat ultra installed by a contact of my friend. I'm on dn with EchoStar 7 119w. The thing is when i compared my channels with my neighbours', I noticed I only had 3 pay-per-view movie channels, while he had the whole list. Could anyone let me know of a possible cause and/or solution for this?

he probrably has 110 W as well. 119 only gets a few of the ppv channels

is there anything i could do about that?

Yes. as long as the dish you are using is a D500 with the Dual LNB. You Need to go into your dish settings and select echo 7 and change the settings Should look something like this

LNB Type should be OCS-DP
22KHz Off
LNB Power On
Diseqc should be set to 1

Everything else leave it the way it is

Now change the satellite to Echo 8 and make sure all the setting are the same. The Only thing that you need to change is the Diseqc and change it to 2

when done scan both sats for your channels and you should be good.
Hope that helps.

for 119 set the tp to 12239 and for 110 use 12224
