Viewsat MaxHD No Video/Audio Issues

I recently got a Viewsat MaxHD, set it up and downloaded and loaded the latest PEG at [link removed] to the receiver.

Sometimes when I switch from a channel to another and then return to that channel, I get "no video and audio" error. Also, some channels have no audio.

Each time this happens and I reload the PEG file from the USB drive, everything goes back to normal. I have tried restoring factory default and doing everything from scratch several times now but this is still happening too often.

Is anyone having this issue as well? Please help.

Load the factory bin, the satellite info then the latest bin from viewsatusa.com.
Do a blind scand then a autoscan.
Then do a channels backup and you will not have problem.

Plymouth, thanks for the info.

I've done as instructed and spent over 2 hrs blind scanning each echostar satelite i can get signal from. I'm still having the same problems and I'm still having to go through the same drills in order to fix it. It's getting really annoying. It looks as if the STB is not keeping the new bin file I load onto it otherwise I shouldn't have to keep reloading it to get picture/audio.

I've tried calling viewsat but they're off for the holidays. I'm sure it's not supposed to be like this and I will try any suggestion anyone may have.

Which dish and LNB you use and which satellites you get?

Your switch can be defective.

I use Dishnetwork and with their receiver's point dish screen, I get signals from 110 and 119 LNBs. With the viewsat, I get all Echostar signals depending on what frequency I set it up for. I am also getting good Q and S from Nimiq 1 and 4 (I think that's Canada)

You must only scan those 2 satellites, if you scan other satellites you will have problem with all of your channels.

Do a factory default then load latest bin and scan only 110 and 119.

Oh man, I wanted to have everything . I guess I have to buy those other LNDs now.

Man, you're right plymouth. So far it is running smooth. Will cry about it again if it craps out and see what suggestions you may have.

Thanks for the link justforhaha.

Yes you can add new LNBs for get more satellites.

You will not have a answer as fast as Ecoustics on other sites.

I'm not getting any locals with the channel list from my LNDs. Am I missing something here?

I get those channels with the Dish VIP 612 DVR when I use the same LNDs.

You must set your LNB Type on OCS-DP and LNB Freq on 11250.

Is it a dish 500?

It is Dish 500 and it is on OCS-DP. I had LNB Freq on 11200 and got equally the same S and Q as 112500. What is the difference?

Put 11250 because you will not have all channels.

Done... and no difference. I suspect that it is there, maybe not labeled like the rest with the city (New York) on it. I notice that the locals are in the 5-7000 range and some in the 8000 range.

The Fan are you able to get Horizontal and Vertical signal?


MKM Look this site for different brackets you can use for added LNBs.
