Getting your I-link 9000 up and running.
Thanx snakebite
Getting your I-link 9000 up and running.
Found this to be a cure for some of the setup problems on the 9000, maybe others can chime in to help out.
The setup of a 9000 is suppose to be very simple.
If you have attempted this before and have channels on your box you need to do a factory default to remove the channels then proceed with the following guide.
1: load the newest file via usb using SW Update.
2: Allow the box to reset then go into the network section and turn the network to "Auto" from "not used".
3: scroll down to the "apply" button on the bottom of the network setup page and click it using the ok button the remote.
(now it should zero out your settings for a moment or so then in a minute or so they will repopulate!).
4: after your network area repopulates then exit and setup one of your satellites.
If you are usinhg echostar 7 (119W) then use that satellite and set your lnb type.
If you have a DP or DP plus use the "Dishpro1" lnb setting.
If you are using a standard lnb like the ones found on a single 18" dish then use 11250
Then set your Diseqc switch setting.
Again if it's Dishpro or Dishpro Plus use Diseqc port 1 or A.
5: If you did the above correct you should have signal and quality and you should get the 119 West indication underneath the satellite setup box to the left. If that says 110 instead of 119 then you need to make changes to your Diseqc switch settings, change ports to get the 119 setting.
After you do get signal and the satellite indicator does say "119 west" you need to scroll to the bottom and click on the "Search" button
Then go to channel 200 and you should have CNN.
Now, if you have played with the EPCS key and do not get video on CNN after a minute or so, look in the "Sticky's" in this section to find out how to get back into the EPCS key area and restore your key. Try doing a "HARD BOOT", shutting off rear switch for a minute and then back on.
If you get video on 119, you can scan for 110 and 91 afterward.
