I have a viewsat xtreeme, I had to do a factory default, then I loaded the new factory bin, and then the latest bin. I have been trying to add the channels through blind scan or auto scan, but when I do a blind scan, it never asks me if I want to save the changes, so no channels get loaded.
And when I do an auto scan, it asks if I want to change, but there are no channels to be saved, so I still have no channels.

My dishes are at 119.0 and 61.5.

Can someone tell me how to add the channels.
Thanks

That's because no new channel scan, if found new channel it ask for saved.
Delete sat in channel scan and rescan it

Do I need to setup the antenna settings since it is at factory default, or is that already done.

Should I do a blind scan again?

Yes you need to set, if no good.
Do a blind scan because freq tp change often.

That if she is using a DISEqC switch
She could have an SW21

Well
to me yo sound like yo got a combination of 2 or 3 different issues but very simple
Even if she has none on D-sw she still can get a scan

- First Identify what type of a sat combiner are yo using?
- Second which bin did yo load?
- Yo can't use tp 12224 on 61.5 anymore use 12326

In Antenna setup
If yo are using sw21 then enable legacy sw21 on
If using D-Sw then assign each sat to proper matching port

No problem at all
If she was using 12326 and none on D-sw she would of got a scan from the default (default is always port-1)

This is why I know she got a combination of 3 simple issues

Reinput the correct antenna settings ....corresponding to your hardware configuration with the sats, LNB's, cables, switch type, and switch ports..

The receiver has no clue what u have or did on the roof, thats why U need to tell it, with correct receiver antenna/dish settings..and there is NO standard settings and NO "1 shoe fits all"..U gotta go look on the roof and see whats up there and how its all configured...thats why U ALWAYS WRITE THEM DOWN AND SAVE THEM...unless U like climbing..FTA 101

I changed the port setting, I auto scanned 119, and I got the channels on the list, but I don't have any picture or sound, it says searching signal. I have the latest bins loaded.

What do I do now?

U may have a dish out of alignment or bad cable, or connection...or bad antenna/dish settings

U may need to just wait a few minutes while the DN keys change now...or manually input them with AR off...U may need to do a simple rear switch reboot...

and if none of this is making sense, then U need to hit the manuals and do some basic reading..


U need to provide alot more info...beginning with if this ever worked for ya..
