International Channels not on Echo7
MF
Ok, since you had the Low Frequence LNB and had Anik3 TP's already in your box that's why you got them again under Echo7, but it's actually still Anik3.
When I install a Low Frequence LNB then I just add one of the many TP's of Anik3 to the list of Echo7 and scan it, once the receiver finds one then it will add the rest by itself. So of course going for example to ProSiebenSat it will show me Echo7, but actually it doesn't matter what Sta name is shown because I could also rename it to something totally different but the programming is still from Anik F3.
Some people believe when they play around and make blind scans that they get more channels because after that they see channels with very different Sat names, fact is that some of these Sats have the same TP frequencies and that's why the frequency is getting scanned again, but will still bring only the channels from the sat where your parabola is pointed to with that frequncy.
Actually it doesn't matter as long we have Free TV, just wanted to make sure we are on the same page.

I already had the circular LNB installed in order to get the international channels via Anik F3 and this worked all right.
However, when I scanned all the satellites (EchoStar 7,8, 10 and Anik F3) again the other day all the international channels were listed under EchoStar 7 on 119? W.
Subsequently I deleted the Anik F3 satellite from my installation set up as I feel that I don't need it any more.
Of course I did not need to realign the dish as it had always been receiving from 110/119/118.8?...
