Just got new CW 700S today. Bin 1.51 installed. Have 4 dishes connected. Used same information from my Pansat setup to scan the satellites.

Diseq #1 is AMC 15 at 105w
Diseq #2 is Echo 6.8 at 110w
Diseq #3 is Echo 4 at 77w
Diseq #4 is Nimiq 1 at 91w

I scanned all, and got channels for all. Bev works just fine - however, DN 105 and 110 are not working. I get "scrambled channel" message. Echo 4 is a moot point currently. Just interested in 105 and 110.

The "Dish Home" channel is working (#100), but all others just say "scrambled". I have let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes, and nothing. Have re-booted. Nothing.

Any ideas? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

105...why not 119 instead..also non of the resent bn out are down for D/N
for D/N most everyone uses 110 and 119..then use one of the others like 118 or 148 or depends on the part of the country you are in one of the other D/N birds

I'd absolutely love to get 119, as it has a lot of the channels that I really like, but can't where I live - in Yucatan, Mexico. I use the 105 to pick up networks - it gets a stronger signal for me than 110. Any ideas why I'm not getting picture on DN? I've read everything I can find online about loading bins, setting sats, etc., and everything seems to be okay, just keep getting the "scrambled channel". Pulled down all channels on all 4 sats (that I was getting on Pansat). Do you think I should factory reset, and reload bin and scan sats again?

no...the new bn is not out yet..one of the older bn's may work
and have you thought about getting a larger dish to get the other satellites...maybe one of the older BUD to get all of the birds

I was told by the guy who sold me my receiver and 2 of my dishes that we can't get 119 out where I live. I asked him about a BUD and he said that wouldn't get it either. Evidently, we're just not in the footprint of the satellite or something. I'm using a 1.6 meter dish to get nimiq 91, a large DN dish (don't have a clue what model it is) to get 110, and 2 smaller DN dishes for 77 and 105. I don't know - am relatively new to this, and have depended on a friend to set up my dishes and help me with setup on my Pansat 3500SD prior to purchasing this CW700S. He's coming out here tomorrow, and I'm gonna see if he has any ideas. Maybe we'll try switching the lnb to an 11250.

I did a factory defaut, then set the sats up numerically on the diseq - 77 on 1; 91 on 2; 105 on 3; 110 on 4. Rescanned all. Now get BEV on 91 and finally getting DN on 110, but still can't get the networks on 105. I'm wondering if it could be because I've got a Mexican LNB that's got freq of 10500, and the CW doesn't have that option - either 10600 or 10750. I got signal with 10600, and scanned using that setting. Also get signal with Universal setting and tried scanning with that as well. Still can't get picture on the channels, but the epg populates. Tried direct connection to box (not using diseq), but still nothing. Changed the cables back to my Pansat, and 105 and 110 both working fine with diseq set up that way, so that ruled out diseq problems. Any ideas why I can't get 105?
