E-8 on 119 ok, but E-6 not

[Ebro]

I have a 321 on 110. I do recieve channels on the Echostar 8 Satellite ok. But the ones on E-6 I don´t. I get the message that the signal has been lost. Any ideas? Thanks

One question is where are you located? If you are outside the US E8 and E6 have different footprints.

E8 is on 110...E7 is 119

E8 is on 110...E7 is 119

E8 does 5 spot transponders (reused all over the US) and 16 conus transponders. It covers 21 of the 29 transponders Dish has at 110, E6 covers the other 8. E7 does 5 spot and 16 conus or 21 transponders, the total that Dish has at 119. E5 sits turned off at 119 for a backup.

Thanks for the info. I am located in South Texas, near Mexican border.

In south TX you should have no problems. It is only those outside the US that have problems with E6. Perhaps you have a dish out of alignment, a bad LNB, bad wiring or a bad reciever... A lot of possibilities, could be easier just to call Dish.
