yes you have no sats scanned now need to rescan all sats

Do a factory reset and then follow this guide..

Install today's latest BIN over your current BIN.
If things do not work then install factory BIN and then install the current BIN.

You may have to do Antenna setup and rescan, so
NOTE DOWN YOUR ANTENNA SETTINGS BEFORE YOU START

okay guys looks like i got it to work - i just went in and re scanned EchoStar 8,10 and it seems to have worked although it has not picked up all the channels - is there any way to auto mate this so that every time i instal a new bin i dont have to rescan?
thanks

i am not too sure where to get the information you are asking... but ill tell you what i know and maybe you can guide me if you have time

i scanned the sat called EchoStar8,10 and a result of this is i was able to start getting some channels but not all specifically the one i am missing are
621 which is ARY
678 Indus
567 Zee Sports

i went to menu - antenna set up - and was able to get this information is it what you are looking for:

LNBPower = ON
LNB Type = OCS-OP
LNB Freq = 11250
22KHz = OFF
TP Freq = 12224

i tried scanning the sat called EchoStar6,5 but that did not help...

if you can advvise what other info you need to help me out i can get it
thanks

please let me know what dish, lnb, and any switches you have actually connected to the receiver.

I am going to go look and see what sat and transponder those channels are located on
