try to disconnect the cables from the switch. then re-connect them. that worked for a friend of mine who had the same problem. just make sure your VS is completely turned off before messing with the switch!
What is the "QUALITY" signal shows of that satellite that has no picture? You need to be specific with all your settings WHEN ASKING FOR HELP. You said "one satellite has no channels". And you're asking if anyone has the same problem. HOW DO WE KNOW WHAT SATELLITE WOU ARE TALKING ABOUT?
He is probably talking about Bev and DN satellite....2 different systems and keys...and has NOT let the autoroll to work and input the latest keys yet...autoroll sometimes takes an hour on a satellite provider like DN channel or Bev channel..
I apologiza I should have been more detailed, the satellite is echostar 7. The quality bar is empty but then it shows about 40% when the imgae comes in. If you leave it on a channel for about a minute it the picture comes in but then leaves it doesnt even last a second.
john.sound like your signal is pretty weak,u may need to move the disk a little to get your signal up a little higher.u can't see much in 40%,at least u need about 70% or more.......
minn, whats weird about it is that before the sats when down i used to get both the satellites (110 119) with out any problems, but now only one works. I used to get like 600 channels now I only get about 134.

RE VIEWSAT USER: Read with your head,no with your eyes. General knowledge cann't be adquire by anyone who cann't read both accurately and thoughtfully.
all that is... you installed a new bin and your diseqc settings were reset man... either that... or your LNB type also reset to 10600 instead of 10750 Mhz... thats all. change you settings accordingly. and John... in the future... would help if you say what satellites youre trying to view... "getting one and not the other" doesn't help. for all I know man... I receive way more than just 2 satellites... I use my viewsat for fta... I enjoy my Blackbelt channel on 61.0 Amazonas and some wild feeds in other birds out there.
can someone tell me what am i doing wrong after everything i've done. my signal + quality still on red for VS and i'm not getting any channel, everytime i scan i did failed.
