Check that the receiver is set for a one lnb dish, not a multiple lnb.

lemme guess...your location of New York isnt right then?

That always disturbs me when new folks want help but either hide their location or lie about it. If you are truly in NY a 18" dish would be fine to get it work and you could get all the transponders (except the spotbeams)

But you're in some different location (probably south of the border) and are using a larger dish to try and get a beam that is weak to begin with and expect us to help like you're using the stock SD dish in a US area

You are right im central america but the box its for my house in NY,

so I un pluged form the house and im trying to geting work un the south, but its not, i remeber few years ago some issues with TP2 and the posibility to get the box working.

If anybody can help me im very appreciate!

I dont think the signal reaches that far. What size dish are you using?

Last I checked from older posts the transponders worked fine as long as you got signal.

Good catch Ice. You seem to have a knack for that! Central America is well out of the range of the 101 satellite.

THIS ITS WHY A GOT: ANTENNA, CHANNEL MASTER 1.8 MTS
TRANSPONDER LIST.
1-8 76 0 47 0 73 0 49 0
9-16 75 0 0 0 77 0 0 0
17-24 75 0 0 0 77 0 0 0
25-32 76 0 0 0 77 0 0 0

AND IN THE SETUP ITS ONLY DOING THIS,
SEARCHING FOR SATELLITE SIGNAL.... AND THEN
ACQUIRING INFO FROM SATELLITE... AND ITS A LOOP.

Not much you can do if the footprint doesn't go that far south.
The footprint for the most part doesn't go very far south of the Continental US.

We already did. Like Jimbo said, you are too far south to get signals from the satellite.
