Is your dish aligned properly? did you load the latest bin file?

Check if the free channels work (ie NASA, GolTV, etc.)

When doing a blind scan do you find channels?

none of the free channels work. the signal strength is around 80%. all I get is the 'searching signal' message.

do you think it could be the keys that are outdated?

Your dish is not pointing to the right sats (in fact I don't think it points to anything, except the sky), here are some dish aligning tools you might want to check out:

No I don't, loading the latest bin would have taken care of that (working keys inside), but since the blind scan brings no results it leads me to think...well look above.

Run the coax straight from 1 lnb to the box, set the lnb freq to 11250 22khz to off, diseq to off, do a blind scan.

BTW, what sat are you aiming at?

if it says searching,and no TRUE FTA channels appear, then dish is NOT aligned..use the calculators etc...and if U have "DP" written on the LNB's,then remove the exterior disque switch between receiver and dish..

I beleive U need to read my link above MUCH more thoroughly...U haven't got to first base yet,and I'm sure U haven't read the entire rule book yet..U have a ways to go,if U can't align it or don't know about DP LNB's,which BOTH are thoroughly discussed in the link!
