Factory default and then load the latest factory file
you already have a 33 inch antenna and a linear LNB so you should be ok
Alighn your antenna to Sat 123 with the best quality you can get and do not worry about the signal but do worry about the quality.
Use Tp frequency 10750
Now you can get all the co-ordinates at either this site
Code:
www.dishpointer.com
or this site

The factory file makes the reciever back to a virgin state which is a TRUE FTA box. With bins being created, there are modifications to the bins which will not make
you able to get fta channels.

in most cases you don't have to put a factory file in.however sometimes,some may see a sat in the antenna settings that they " the user" doesn't use and delete it.in such cases then it would be necessary to load the factory file.i think what the suggestion was to do a factory default.in which its sorta like cleaning house and gives a fresh start.for example i've had multiple sats off different lnb's conflicting with each other and it seems to clean everything up after doing a factory default.
