    New Channels - Rescan?

    I have a Fortec Star system. I was wondering if a rescan needs to be done each time a new channel is put up on the satellite? or does it automatically sense it and add it to the list of channels?

    DiSEqC options with Dish Pro 500 and 2 other dishes.

    My ? is - can I put 2 single LNB's on a 22khz switch and then add a 3rd LNB with a DiSEqC switch? or will that confuse the recvr?

    Not a dish farm, just hobby farm.

    Irritate the apt Manager! I love it -- that's why I have so many dishes on my roof it's to irritate my "think I own everything on the block" Neighbor. If I could plant a big 30 foot dish in my front yard I would.

    That's correct - I was standing under them. I'm in New Mexico so I have an elevation settings at about 47-48 for Dish and Directv - and about 30 for 148w. Don't know the others. Plus not married so I don't have to hear no one complain - Sweet!

    2 dishes on one mast (and an upside down one)

    okay I looked at the pictures in the other post and on this one - I'm still wondering how you get the dish in that position. can't figure out how you did it. It's way excellent

    So The tracking isn't like the DBS? after finding all the satellite. I can't just go out and move it and lock it down? Didn't think those systems needed skew settings.
