[QUOTE="2old4this, post: 4547, member: 174998"] all firmware for the newer Echosttar receivers comes with a built-in "default" database of settings. IE if you do a factory reset, you don't have an empty machine - you have a machine with a full set of satellites and tranponders aleady in its database. They are set up manually by Echostar staff who prepare the firmware versions. Sometimes a mistake or ommission is made. It so happens that one such mistake was once made with respect to the polarity of a particular Scandanavian tranponder. The solution is simple enough - just go and edit it to be the correct polarity by using the advanced installation menu. The correct Users need to know in any case how to add/change those settings. Anyone who only ever uses the defaults provided by Echostar will quickly find they are "out of date" - since changes to tranponders are taking place all the time (even new saellites are being launched - they need to be added manually if you ever expect to receive their transmissions). The reference to Lyngsat is because that site contains full and up-to-the-minute details of satellites, transponders and all other transmission settings data. That is the site which will tell you, for example, whether a particular channel is carried on a vertically- or horizontally-polarised signal. Hope this helps 2old [/QUOTE]
