when i press the guide button to see what is next all it says is ''no imformation''.this is happening on most of the channels.the picture is coming in alright just no information
umm...jus set date/time/region correctly and wait on 1 channel for about 5 mins..that should bring ur epg up..also there is a option in ur settings about epg..check it out
Ramiro - Go to the main menu and select Option 7 which is "Receive Guide" if your date and time are correct then you will receive the guide and have everything available.
congrats...U are now a certified Viewsat remote specialist!...LOL
BTW...don't tell nalin I helped you, she will become jealous and have a hissy fit...cause she thinks nobody but her here knows anything about FTA...but she can copy my info and post keys OK...LOL
I have an issue that was solved through this thread, but it goes a little further for me. I have no guide too. When I load, I start with a channel list. Once connected, I perform the factory default, then rescan, and then receive guide. The guide comes in great, however, I end up with triple and quadruple channels of the same number. One with the guide info, and the others no information. I know I could manually delete them out, but is there a better way of going about this?
The other curious thing is after performing factory default and scan is that I lose channels. What gives?
Perfect Scan with Dish500 and DishPro (Twin or Quad) or DishProPlus Twin LNB
-First you will need to reset factory defaults
-Then go into your Antenna Setup and configure
NOTE: If you are using Fortec or Pansat you will need to unselect the bird you are not scanning. To do this, use the arrows on your remote to deselect the sat.
- You will then set your LNB type to Standard and select the port on the DISEcQ where for this sat (119 = 1 & 110 = 2).
NOTE: If you are scanning 119 then 110 should be unselected and in the DISEcQ option it should read NONE.
- Now commence your scan as follows:
Viewsats = Sat Scan Pansats/Fortec = Blind Scan
All other = Equivalent to Blind Scan
NOTE: The reason for doing only a Sat Scan for Viewsats is because by default Viewsats will update all TP's on the bird being scanned. If you try to do a Blind Scan without deleting your TP's you end up with duplicate TP's and channels
- At the end of this process do the same for next sat repeating the steps above. Once you have completed all scans you will need to go back and reconfigure your antennas as follows:
For Fortecs and Pansats:
LNB TYPE = DishPro DISEcQ -- 119 = 1 and 110 = 2.
The remaining options will stay the same. Keep in mind that depending on your location you may or may not have any signal on the first TP that appears in your settings for 119. Do not alarm yourself with this.
For Viewsat Owners the steps are pretty similar, but all you do is turn the LNB Power Off in the Antenna Setup.
Once completed you will need to reconfigure as follows:
