This is strange.. i was watching TV and all of a suddenly everything blacks out and the receiver says "noCH"

Even if i load the factory bin and the new file (march 11) it still says the same thing when i turn it on...

you may just lose everything, need to re-scan.

or delete dn's key in the code menu like plymouth posted.

c/p
try it:
All viewsat box
Go to Code menu
Select Nagra and on Dish 01 06 00 Dish 00 01 00 dish 01 01 00
Delete this 3 provider one by one with F3 on remote
no need to delete keys
switch off 10 secs on back panel
and load last bin for your box
turn autoroll on
Keep on
Bin and autoroll regenerete keys
Resolve problem with lost channel , autoroll and search signal

Thats erase bad data in the box
For box who lost channel and sat setup
ENJOY TV

TESTED and work fine
New issue for problem on Viewsat

Do a blind scan on your sat after for recover all channel
Because some new freq are provide
Dont do a factory reset and factory bin
No need it

I'm an experienced FTA user, i know how to set up the receiver once its fixed. However, even when i do a hard reboot and load the latest factory file, it still gives me the same error message "noCH" and nothing works at all.. not the remote control nor the features on the receiver, such as CH or Volume.. it's frozen on a blue screen..

Jib you load factory from viewsat or not?
If yes try unplug your box for 1 hour, that may reset function like remote and you supposed lost pass word if you have.

if you did the fac reset and still no go, I guess you will have to do load the fac bin and default the box then load the latest bin is the last option.

good luck.

Okay never mind.

I took it back upstairs and pressed the "menu" button. It's working.

After i do a blind scan, it should work. If it still doesn't work, i'll be sure to let you guys know.

Highly appreciate everyone's input and time.

Cheers!
