I posted this issue earlier, incorrectly under a different thread. My apologies. I have a strange problem. I get some programming only, a lot of intl. channels but no PPV or HBO and the like. I'm testing with a 2700A and also subscribe to DN service. I noticed that when DN interrupted my service for pmt. info. update (??) my Pansat was also down. No programming for several hours. When I finally called DN tech support and after updating the information, they advised me to reboot the receiver. And instantaneously my FTA was up too showing programming (didn't turn off my Pansat 2700A) which is connected to a different TV. I'm thinking I'm getting only some programming because I subscribe to some and may be that range of programming is allowed and everything else is blocked. I also know this can't be the case. Is this pure coincedence or is there a known way to control a Super Dish from the dish receiver? I thought the smarts are in the receiver and not in the antenna itself. I get most international channels but no HBO etc on my FTA (I don't subscribe to HBO on my regular DN service). I didn't find any threads dedicated to missing some programming. Hope this is not a repeat. Thoughts?? |

Noticed that some PPV channels were not showing up with programming in the EPG, ie 514, 515 on Echo 8.6, and sure enough, they were blank channels Solutions (saved the best for last. - do what works for you!!): First try turning the receiver off and on, using the switch at the back, not the remote. This re-sets the computer - quick remedy, just in case it's not a TP changing problem. If that does not work, then: Use an updated channel list If none is available, which is what I expect to be the case, then you have these options: Nuke all channels and Blind scan the sat(s) again. Blind Scan Polarity should be Vertical ONLY for DishPro LNB's Note: On the missing or blank channel, press the OK button. At the bottom of the pop up screen you will see the sat and the frequency for that channel. Make a note of it. Now, go into the TP Scan, TP selections. You will note that the EXACT frequency for the missing channel is NOT listed. It's close, but no cigar. Therefor a normal TP scan will MISS the channels. The TP scan will not find the changes because the frequency is not that of the listed TP frequency, It's just a bit off and that means the channels will be missed during a TP scan Setting Default keys again, will also NOT bring in the TP changes. Hint: every time I scan, I start with a different sat and save to SD after each sat scan. This way, I can choose the 119 and 61 combo as the starter CH load and just scan 110. Saves time in the long run. Just remember to delete any old saved combos that includes the newly updated sat. BUT THERE ALSO IS AN EASIER WAY!! - WITHOUT NUKING CHANNELS!! First, on the channel that says no signal, hit the OK button and write down the frequency of the changed TP and which sat it is on . ie: TP 12600, sat echo 8.6 Go to installation menu and choose Advanced Scan In the top row, manually enter 12600 as the frequency Go down below and highlight Video PID Press OK, wait for scan to finish, some 16 channels will show up in the above example, exit to programming and all will be fine...NO DUPLICATES EITHER!! Now this is the long read to the solution, LOL, but it's gonna take you a lot less time to read and do it than it took for me to try and discover all these solutions - so that I may guide you to which way is best - and hopefully, you've learned something along the way |
