VIEWSAT RECEIVER:
* Go to Antenna Setup select the satellite you want to scan. Example Echo 8,10 (DN 110) turn OFF the LNB POWER for all other orbit/satellite, make sure you have two side by side green bars, (S&Q) and the screen says Echo 8,10 at the top. * Exit and go to CHANNEL SCAN, turn ON network scan if it isn't already, make sure your are set for the same satellite you have turned on in the antenna set up. * Arrow down to the hammer/screwdriver icon. ie the first one on left, click OK it will highlight a transponder in the list on the left. There should be a green and yellow bar near the upper right now.. that shows you have a signal on that transponder. * NOW CAREFULLY delete all transponders with the exception of the first one in the list that shows both green and yellow (usually 12224 or 12239) using the F3 key to delete, if you make a mistake, simple exit, dont save , and start over. * Once you have done this, click OK and the unit will scan ALL transponders and channels and you will be missing NOTHING. Plus with viewsat the names for channels are all correct. EXIT, and SAVE. * Next go to Edit Channels, click OK, click right arrow four times "Sort channel list" click OK Sort by SID SAVE and watch TV.
Repeat steps for each satellite/orbit that you need scanned, make sure that after each satellite is scanned and no further scanning is needed that the LNB are turned back ON for each one.
