Missing Channels in Guide

[johnfoster2012]

EchoStar 7 & 8
Sonicview 360 Premiere.

I recently notice that I'm missing a ton of echostar channels from my channel guide even though they can be accessed but get no information. Mostly the 500. I did a blind scan with no avail.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanx.

500 what?
not all 500's are sd

Mostly PPV I guess. My channel guide only shows 54 movie channels on 110 and 119. I must have inadvertently changed a setting.

I'm not getting any showing up in the guide. The channels are there if I manually enter them but the is no information.

Blind scan is best used for true fta birds. When I do a scan I turn network search off which avoids scanning the HD tp's since they are useless on an sd box. Then do a scan sat (red button). Then make sure the time settings are set correct. Once back out to viewing I hit the sat button and select echo pkg.

ill try that right now. Thanx.

[johnfoster2012]

No dice.

I took a closer look.

Here is an example of some stations that I can see if I enter them manually but in the channel guide it says “no information” and does not show up in the category page.

307, 309, 313, 329,330 etc. a lot in the 400’s, all the 500’s. Also noticing a lot of doubles.

I am definitely not doing something right.

What type of dish do you have? Been a while since I had my dish500 setup but seems this was a problem with them when the settings were wrong in the dish setup.

[cheff]

your lnb type needs to be ocs-dp never blind scan. 119 port 1 110 port 2. do fact reset start over .

[johnfoster2012]

My lnb type were always set to standard.

Just tried scanning using ocs-dp. no dice same results.

I believe its a standard dish500.

You can also got into the dish settings and pull up the satellite list and select delete sat (green button). That will clear the channel list with out a factory reset. Just another option.

ill try that now. thanx

what should my lnb frq and transponder settings be when I scan?

[cheff]

Instead of all this guessing can you tell us what type of LNB's u have? Look at them are they seperate eyes or one unit should say on them dishpro plus or quad or something like that.

[abouttosnap]

If you have a dish500 LNB type should be OCS-DP for both. DiSEqC should be set at port 2 for echo 8 and port 1 for echo 7. I would clear the the list with delete sat or factory reset to avoid more duplicates.

When you select OCS-DP it will set the LNB Freq. to 11250 automatic.

and transponder settings?

[dishuser]

and transponder settings?

12224 for 110 and 12297 for 119

[johnfoster2012]

Deleted sat. Scanned using standard lnb transponder 12224. Seems to have got my channels back. Thanks a mil guys.

Anyone know a good private server for BEV?

You did not just scan tp 12224 - an auto or blind scan (unless scanning just one transponder) will scan all tps as defined in the sat file on the receiver for the selected satellite. Deleting the channels probably cleared corrupt data on the receiver.
