Do you have your disc settings matching 110 & 119?

How do you match your disc setting.

What it does is that it scan all the channel and then scan it again and again for like 40 min and after it finish all the channel stay black.

try a reboot/reset first..BACK of receiver,power off,wait 1 minute,power on,tyurn to channel 300..If U have a good bin,your FTA setup is correct,and hardware is all good,then maybe a simple reboot is all U need..
 

More Info Required

Give more info about your setup. Do you have 110/119 hooked up? Are you positive that it came with a valid bin file installed? When you blind scan , even though the channels are black how many channels are there? What is your signal level and quality?

fortec ultra worked great @ cottage with twin dishes and new switch. House has dual LNB dish. Dealer advised factory settings to whipe cottage channels, then sattellite scan @ standard 110 22kh on,118-22kh off. Have lost more than half movie stations. HBO east, showtime east, encore east, TCM, RFDTv ect. ect. Appreciate help.

what is the problem,the HOUSE dish?..what have U done to fix it?...what kind of LNB's?..did it ever work at house?..is dish aligned?...do U have a twin or dual LNB?..1 bird or 2 birds,and which ones?...and U can use a channel list at house instead of scans..

BTW...what is 118?

U can access a free channel list from any reputable DSS site and upload it using either Gtools or channel master utilty program..But U should be getting TV now,if U have a good working N2 bin,performed scans correctly,and have your menu-antenna setup configured correctly (which is fairly routine)..

Remember dish pro LNB's require dish pro channel lists....
