I have a Pansat 2700A Clone. I have scanned the BEV HD channels but I get "scrambled or bad channel". I can get the BEV non HD channels with no problems, but not the HD ones. I can also get the DN channels. I have powerd off the receiver and then back on, but still getting "scrambled or bad channel".

Am I missing something?

My setup:
Pansat 2700A Clone
TIVO Bin 274
Sharp AQUOS LCD HD TV
Sat signal strength is around 85%

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A. YES
For BEV, that is all you will need besides your HD TV set.
for DN you will also need a 8SPK module or board installed on your HD receiver - about $135-$160 additional cost.
