I downloaded the echostar package and pointed at 119 with 90% quality and 85% signal strength and pressed scan and all the channels are loading but it seems it has been stuck at 85% for an hour. What should I do ? Will it get to 100% or should I stop it some how? and try again. Any help would be appreciated.

Purpose :
---------
The main purpose for this flash is to give you, the user
a way to have your ird conform to the dishnet channel listings.
This flash creates a new sat in your [sat key] info. This new listing
is called, "echostar package".

You will be able to press your Sat on the remote, choose the "Echostar
package" and have channels come up just as on a dishnet ird.. ie..
300 will be HBO East, 122 will SciFi Channel, etc.

Recomended Procedure :
----------------------
Take the blacklist updater version 1.4 and dowload to your ird,
the included 2500A_040607_222_api(N).bin.

Next, Download the new flash 2500A_040607_222_api(N).bin also included
in this zip file.

NEXT, PLEASE CHOOSE, either you can scan your sats or put on a channel list.
One or the other... don't do both.

We have also included a channel list, X-85BL_050104_240_api(N).gtd.
Use SGTools 1.86 to download that file into your 2500 after you have
completed your flash.

Proceed to the parental controls, "second pin", and enter with 0000.
go to "Set Default Key" and press "OK" on your remote. Wait for it to
save and exit out to the TV Screen.

Now on your remote, hit your sat button. You will see "Echostar Package".
Hit the "ok" key, and enter that channel list. Your channel list is imported
into there and you can proceed to watch tv. You will find that pressing
your key numbers, say, 122 will bring you to scifi channel and so forth.

there you have it...

If you are NOT USING A CHANNEL LIST.

Simply set up your ird as you normaly would. Choose language and go into
setup. Antenna set up is done just as you normally would.

Next, after your sats are set proplerly.. do a BLIND scan of each.

Proceed to the parental controls, "second pin", and enter with 0000.
go to "Set Default Key" and press "OK" on your remote. Wait for it to
save and exit out to the TV Screen.

Now on your remote, hit your "sat" button. You will see "Echostar Package".
Hit the "ok" key, and enter that channel list. Your channel list is imported
into there and you can proceed to watch tv. You will find that pressing
your key numbers, say, 122 will bring you to scifi channel and so forth.


Remember, do one or the other.
