Hi all. Ive been refering to this forum for what seems like a century but this is the first time I am posting because unlike some, I try to read before I ask. However, At this point I am spinning my wheels. When downloading the latest BIN for my VSPlat, I am only getting echostar 7 channels. I also want Echostar 8,6 or 8,10 channels. I live in the North East. I have located some channel lists and uploaded them using channel master or Loader2. However, when I put my box on, the channels begin in the 4000's. I was wondering how I can get the all inclusive channel lists for echo 7,8,6 with the channels beginning on 100. I appreciate your help.

Wow, everybody skipped over me as if I never asked a question. Everybody is responding to posts that really have nothing to do with our boxes. If somebody knows the answer, why can't they just help me out. Thanks

first of all ah.. right now nothing working...
so even if u have every thing nothing is working...
2nd u never told us how many dished u have on the roof...
i beleive u have 119 dish, so u also wanna get 110,148 i think...
so when u scan the channels they have original number.. u cann't change the numbers but u can add channels on ur favorite menu...
i think u are used to cable tv where there are few channels ... sat have lots of channel and ther ch number start above 1000...
u also need channel list where u can downlad all the channels.. channel list should be
on www.totalfta.com ( i believe that's where u download new bin for ur reciever).. just check channel list(bin) and u can downloas the same way as ur new bin etc..
hope that helps..

Thanks for responding Sada. I have had the viewsat for about 2 years now. Originally, I had echo 8-119 and echo 7-110 along with globecast. My channels ranged from 101 up to the 800's plus some channels in the 8000s and 9000s. But when i installed the latest BIN for VS2000plat, and when I installed the channel list for 110 and 119, all the channels were relocated in the 4000s with no type of order. I hope I am not too confusing.

hope im not stepping on toes here, but if everything worked before what i would do is a factory set in menu and rescan both sats. then make sure sort by sid is on in menu. hope this helps. btw i never use preloaded channel list they really just mess things up.

Hi John, thanks for getting back to me. After i do a factory default, and then rescan, I only get channels for echo7-119. I check the box for echo 8 but non of the channels, i.e. Science Channel, come up.

go into setup and see if your disq settings are correct. the new bin might have changed them menu-installation-dish settings code for pass is 0000

if you scan 1 sat at a time for channels make sure you scan the 110 before the 119. i know with my cnx i find the same problem when i try to scan for channels. and also make sure the disq switch is set up right ex: disq 1=119, disq 2=110
