Can't scan 129

[Volleyballer]

Not sure what happened. I re-scanned 110 & 119 (ok), and all of sudden, I'm getting "bad signal" on 129, and can't scan any of these chans. I didn't touch the equipment. Any thoughts?

I suggest you check your switches. What is your satellite set up?

[Volleyballer]

Thx. What do u mean by satellite set up?

Currently:

119 - 1
110 - 2
129 - 3 (I'm getting red s & q to about 97%)

factory restore.. rescan
If the same outcome 90% chance of switch failure

Use transponder 21516

I think you mean 12516.

IF you are having an equipment problem which is indicated by the red bars(no information from satellite) then run a cable straight to 129 lnb to confirm alignment and that coax is not faulty. This procedure will also tell you if you have a switch problem. You cannot scan satellite with red bars, must be blue. good luck

What type of equipment your using will help us help you better.

Type of dish. (Dish 500, Dish 1000, other)

Type(s) of LNB(s) (DP singles, DP dual with a DP single, Dish 1000.2, Bell, Standard, Universal, Legacy)

What LNB setting your using on the 110/119/129 satellite settings. (OCS-DP, Standard, Single, Universal, Legacy)

Type of switch. (if using one)

Any other stuff in the system, things like that there, it keeps the usage of crystal balls to a minimum.
