Dish 1000.4 and First Strike Meter FS-1

Does anybody know how to receive the even transponders? I think I have to change the LO, but not sure. No problem with the odd transponders.

On the LNB setting there are three settings. One has no voltage, the second has 13 volts (Vertical Transponders) and the third has 18 volts (Horizontal Transponders). Since Dish Network/Directv uses circular polarization then you would go by the next sentence on voltages. I believe the odd transponders are 13 volts and the even transponders are 18 volts.

Thank you Stargazer, that was it. I thought I tried the 18V setting, but I probably had one of the other settings wrong. Now I can set up a custom list of transponders. Thanks.

You are very welcome. The signal meters are really nice once you figure out the settings. A lot better to customize the meter with the frequencies you are looking for instead of trying to use the preset ones.
