Viewsat Pro problems
|
New member Username: ThorkPost Number: 9 Registered: Jan-08 | Hi I have a VS pro that will not pick up echo 7. I have a VS platinum working fine. I hook the Pro and can't get it to pick up or scan echo 7 . When set on echo 7 it shows echo 10,11 after a few seconds in the top of the screen. Am I missing something?I've been messing with it for about 3 days in the evenings. Any suggestions will be appreciated  |

|
New member Username: ThorkPost Number: 10 Registered: Jan-08 | I replaced the switch with a new one yesterday and the ports are set right(I did try reversing them also)I guess theres a chance that I got a bad new switch(slim) . I have one more new switch, i'll try that again.The lnb type is correct . |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 8348 Registered: Jan-08 | Thork Do a factory default, load the factory bin and the satellite info from viewsatusa.com then the latest bin then scan all satellites. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThorkPost Number: 11 Registered: Jan-08 | Did that yesterday. |
|
Silver Member Username: RiconissanPost Number: 519 Registered: Feb-09 | Thork, What LNB are you using? List your settings for 119 When did you lose E7? |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThorkPost Number: 12 Registered: Jan-08 | Never got E7 on the pro. I can hook the platinum back up and it works great. I am doing another factory default , orginal bin, then new bin now... |

Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 8352 Registered: Jan-08 | Thork don't forget the satellite info. |
|
Silver Member Username: RiconissanPost Number: 522 Registered: Feb-09 | Plymouth, It sounds like the VS pro is not switching for some reason. Thork, Is it a brand new receiver out of the box? |

Silver Member Username: RiconissanPost Number: 523 Registered: Feb-09 | Thork, Every diseqc Port still brings in echo 10,11? |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThorkPost Number: 16 Registered: Jan-08 | Just 1 & 2. Got to go for about 1/2 an hout...... |
|
Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 8353 Registered: Jan-08 | Thork 119 need to be on port 1 and hook on same port on switch, 110 must be on port 2. Is it a Dp dish? If not put the LNB Type on Standard. |
|
Gold Member Username: PlymouthCanada Post Number: 8354 Registered: Jan-08 | Here is the satellite info for your box: [link removed] |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThorkPost Number: 18 Registered: Jan-08 | Sat info?? 110 Must be on port 2?I've had it running like it is for about 3 years on port 1 with the older viewsat. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThorkPost Number: 19 Registered: Jan-08 | Useing 2 old dish network dishes. No standard lnb setting on this unit. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThorkPost Number: 20 Registered: Jan-08 | Ok, had to set it on manual instead of auto, set lnb to 11250 only,scanned, and had to channel scan some TP's to get most of the channels. Better than it was anyway. Just one problem now, I can't get it to pause, trying to use a 2gb flash drive, I must be missing something. Anyone know how to make it work?I have been reading and searching, still looking now.Thanks everyone |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThorkPost Number: 21 Registered: Jan-08 | Got it figured out, got to format the drive differently. Thanks everyone. |
|
Silver Member Username: RiconissanPost Number: 525 Registered: Feb-09 | Thork, Pause? Delete 119 E7 start again. reload factory bin From Viewsat Load 090309 bin 2 times Set LNB to standard (I am sure it is there) TP 12239 Auto TP ON auto scan each Sat individually. At least we know you are getting some 119 channels now. |
|
Silver Member Username: RiconissanPost Number: 526 Registered: Feb-09 | Thork, Sorry I mean the 090309 bin. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThorkPost Number: 22 Registered: Jan-08 | I think it's picking up most of them, just missing a few of the 500's.Some channels don't come in, not sure why. |
|
Bronze Member Username: ThorkPost Number: 23 Registered: Jan-08 | Got to go for a few hours, may redo things when I get back. |

Bronze Member Username: ThorkPost Number: 29 Registered: Jan-08 | I haven't had a chance to hook it back up yet, but I was wondering about the settings to use a dish 500 setup. I have one now, hooked this up but couldn't get a signal, but I didn't fool with it long. Got company this evening, so I may not get a chance to hook the system back up until tomorrow. |
