I have 2 Viewsat Ultra receivers. I have two different switches, but I'm only receiving PPV on one of the receiver. Also, if i have the satellite on 121 i can't view 110 on the second receiver at the same time. Any ideas??
My friend tried the second receiver at his house and it worked there, but when I brought it home the PPV channels are there, but it says "searching signal".
The problem seems to be in the Dish to receiver area, probably in switches. You will be able to see it, when you connect the receiver A in place of receiver B and receiver B in place of receiver A.
One receiver is connected in the living room and the second one is in a bedroom. 110 goes into the same port for both receivers. I get some channels on the second receiver such as NBA TV and Soap TV.
Nalin, i tried switching the two receivers and still no luck getting the ppv working. The second receiver didn't pickup the ppv in the first recivers place.
I have the same problem but between an Ultra and an Extreme. I upgraded the switches and it improved but it still has the problem noe and then. When this happens for the most part, I find that turning the receiver off the on using the remote works, but not always.
Tasha C. : You said The second receiver didn't pickup the ppv in the first receivers place. This means that the "defective" receiver has some software problem, such as antenna setup, or scanning problem. If you eliminate these problems, the best you can do,is to reinstall the BIN and set up again. Unless you are very familiar with what you are doing, factory reset can be painful - it is much easier to reinstall the BIN and rescan, or even reinstall a much older BIN and then the new one and then rescan.
