I did everything I was supposed to do and things were unfrozen, added new bin, but nothing happened. Channels were at quality 0. So, I did a factory reset and have tried to download channels, but am getting nothing. I wrote a thread before, and people ended up swearing and cursing at each other. Please only those who really want to help me answer. thank you
ok lisa calm down and don't listen to ongtu.. install a factory bin (its different than factory reset).. download a factory bin, reinstall the bin and then post the results good luck..
Lisa whenever you press the factory reset you have to go back to menu..installation..antenna setup and reconfigure your SAT setting again like the one B4 you have or you will not get any signals or quality at all..and i hope you remember your old setting..LOL.
I only have the LNB and others written down, nothing else is. While it's trying to download the channels, the frequencies are changing, but no channels are coming. Help again.
ok go to menu>satellite and make notes of all settings then change the satellite on to and new settings will appear for that satellite make a note of that as well and post so i can help
Using your remote hit menu then hit ok on antenna setup scroll to one of the two sats your pointed at. Now if you have 2 sats then you have a switch and lnb type. If you know the type your using great or scoll the different options looking for the one that gives the best quality. Once you have q the name of the sat appears make sure it matches the one whos settings your changing otherwise change the diseq or legacy choices.
like on the top line you see Echostar 3 61.5 if you have more than one satellite change that until you see the correct satellite and post settings. also slowly change tp freq on 61.5 and see if any one of them makes good quality.if it does then save that
Aficain i had same problem today when test old bin and put new release factory bin v0132 at viewsatusa.com/ support and new bin and signal comeback if you said to her maybe? Thanks
PLymouth that is what i was going to suggest next.thanks but lisa if you do that then switch OFF your box and remove co ax coming from satellite,then load factory bin and then latest bin then hook up coax again
I loaded a factory bin and latest bin, I already did those. I tried to put in 12224, but couldn't find that TP frequency. No other TP frequencies showed me any quality. As for the satellites, I only have echo star 3 and echo star 8.10, which I put on diseq port 2.
African yes i know about the locked up today.but when you downLOAD the new factory bin and the lastest bin it all working normal again..but after Lisa finish loading those new bin and she press factory reset now all she need is to reconfigure the SAT setting again that all..but the problem is she don't know how...just don't press the factory reset again next time..LOL
Lisa, all your settings look good, could you check that the coax coming from sat is hooked up on the right terminal,but make sure box is OFF if you remove or connect the cable
So, what do I do with mine. I've done the factory reload before and factory resetting and never had this problem, now I can't get any channels. Any suggestions, I'm panicking right now.
Lisa, you don't need to panic,because as long as your receiver is powering up there is a cure for it. i don't know where you are but it is dark on the east coast here. what i need next is a direct connection from any one satellite to receiver,by passing the switch,so we are trying to eliminating bad switch
yeh now it seems a cable or switch issue,i am guessing more switch then cable,because when ecm hit today it locked a lot of vs and did a lot of crazy things the good thing thing is that her unit is alive
So why after the factory reset did everything go wrong. Should I retry to download the factory bin from viewsat usa or maybe another factory bin that can fix this no channel thing?
Lisa, the last thing is to try a direct connection from satellite to receiver on any one satellite, if you get signal & quality then your switch got fried
Ok, will try. Thanks guys for all your help. Right now it's very late, so I will see what I can do, if not will try early am and will let you know. I really really appreciate your help.
Thanks guys, am trying to do last time factory bin download and see what happens, and then if nothing (which is what I think will happen) will try again tomorrow. I truly appreciate your help African and Plymouth, you guys have been terrific.
Well, I hooked up my receiver to original cable, all worked out, yet when I brought it back to my cable, have no quality. It's the problem with the loop I think. So, have to figure this one out, but thank you for all your help.
