Ferrari, you are now dealing with FTA, not carded receiver - different ball game.

Do you have the proper bin loaded? Do you have the correct keys put in? Is your antenna/dish set up correctly (remember, some DN dish-switch combos won't work with FTA).

Troubleshoot and ask us the proper questions.

Yah, but I feel a bit sorry for Ferrari. He's probably one of those ex-carded-receiver-loving dudes who's finally come to realize that FTA is less of a headache! Can't give him too hard of a time.

why do keep inferring he's a Plastic user?...Plastic is much harder than FTA..I think he's just a noob who is too lazy to read, like most here..

I disagree. For plastic, you download the latest blocker with code, clear your card's codespace, and load the new blocker. Maybe a few other misc things to do, like tiers, initial mods to your receiver, etc... Unless you're one of the guys who writes the scripts, a monkey could reprogram a card once your receiver is working.

Just ask any so-called plastic user what the code actually means. I'll bet you maybe 1 in 30 can tell you. No different from FTA users.

I've done thousands of DTV cards (code and program), and some plastic programming, and NOTHING is as simple as FTA...but thats NOT my point....point is I think he's a noob to any DSS and am curious why U think he dabbles in plastic?...he never even mentioned plastic..
