My Sonicview 360 Premier miss labels the BEV channels. Also most of the BEV channels have a * at the beginning of the name, making it impossible to search for a specific channel. It has always been like this, just thought I would see if someone had a fix for this.
Still have this problem. Has no one ever encountered this?
Turn on all your sort by SID options.Then you should have a 1 or 2 before bev channel number.
The numbers are not the problem, all channels have the 2 in front. The problem is, that the channel names are not right and a lot of the channels have a * in front of the name. This makes it impossible to search for a specific channel as the * is not an option on the remote.Quote:

Seems years ago there was a way to correct this but I just can't recall it now...just been too long but I'm still noodling it.
Selecting BEV package removes the 2 from the channel numbers, but does nothing to correct the naming errors. Cannot find any option to go from BEV to Dish epg.
Did a search on this site and also on the web in general. Cannot seem to find this problem or a solution to this problem. Not a big deal, but it would be nice to correct this. I have some time on my hands and will continue my search.
When you scanned for channels did the correct sat name popup to confirm your scanning sat that you selected?
Yes, it did. All the channels are the right BEV channels. Just the names are wrong and a lot have the * prior to the name.Quote:

I would say you have to get into the file and switch that data in there so that the data base of the channel list gets mapped right. Or you could dump the channel list to a PC and fix all the names then send that ch list to the box. Six of one and a dozen of the other of which is easier--both just mean that you do a bunch of typing at the PC--maybe download screen shots of the channel lineup from the prov web site.
Thanks for the help. I have a SV 8000 that has a proper channel list. Could I copy this list and transfer it to the SV Premier?Quote:

If I were doing it I would write a little code to parse a list from the web and then into the ch list or file data--that is what computers are for.
In going along with jvvh you could try Channel master and upload your list to the pc via RS232 port...then work on it a little along. After you get it like you want download it back to the stb. I've used it some in the past with my Pansat years ago but not sure or remember how well it works with the sonicview but there is an option to use with sonicview in there. Guess it would be worth a try...been a long while since I used it myself. Link to it here...Channel master
Help!!! I edited my 360 Premier channel list, with CM. Then I loaded it back into my receiver. It asked to reboot, I clicked ok. Now my receiver does not start up at all. Just (MAIN) on the LED display, but nothing else. Any suggestions on how to get this receiver back up?
Try and turn it off for a little while and then back on...worse case you could always try a file force load...procedures in the stickies. If you force load you will probably have to set things back up in the dish settings and rescan but it should bring the stb back.
OK, go to SV-360P files section, get SV360P_SysCleanFile, and follow instructions Given.Quote:

Ok, now I am really screwed. I ran the system clean file then the factory file then the latest rom file and I still get nothing. What am I doing wrong?
I now have the receiver LED showing A and the TV showing a grey screen with stars.
I suggest you do a force load to receiver, like abouttosnap had mentioned, there is a Sticky on how to do it
and follow instructions, To The Letter. You are going to have to bring your SV-360P BACK TO SQUARE ONE FIRST
And start from there One Step At A Time.
Hope This Help's
I have been trying the force loading of all the files. Not sure if I'm doing it right. The instruction are not overly clear. Thanks for the help auggie, I really appreciate it. I will continue to try and get things right. One more thing if you don't mind. Which files do I need to load, the factory file, the sysclean file and then the bin file? In that order?Quote:

also hook up video connection with rca, RED WHITE (YELLOW) In order to fix this first load Factory 110 (use the panel buttons on receiver) remote will not work yet, and do not reboot, then load syscleanfile, do not reboot, load V0175. tHEN REBOOT AND wait a min. after this when blue screen with stars shows up, you need to do the receiver setup and scan for channels.
The factory file here is 117, is that ok and what is file V0175?
0175 was the last known standalone file working before iks...117 is an original iHub factory file...it should work. I will say that some of these older files were known to make the screen turn gray and roll after reboot...may have been what you were seeing...sometimes rebooting the receiver will correct that problem and if not reloading of a file will. If you are seeing something on the screen you should be half way there and the stb recoverable.
I'm back to nothing on screen. Just cannot get anything working. Have tried numerous file variations, without any luck. Going to make another attempt now.Quote:

Factory, sysclean and bin rom file with USB force loading.Quote:

Correction it may show USBL on the display once the file loads...been a while since I forced loaded and one way shows USBL and the other shows good on the display.
The count down occurs, but does not show GOOD on the display afterwards, shows USBL. Currently have receiver off, will turn back on in a couple of minutes.Quote:

Success, I now have the main menu. Should I go straight to loading the 2028 rom file now?
Sorry, I guess we were typing at the same time. Will give it a try.
I would setup Sats and scan in first get it the way you want it first
Then do the 2028 rom last
You can give it a go...you can load that one the same way and hopefully you will see adapter connect once the receiver reboots...at least I hope so...you will be a pro with force loading time you are done. :thumbsup:
Well I loaded the 2028 file before I read your recommendation. Worked ok, but now I have no Signal or Quality on any satellite.Quote:

(LNB'S, SWITCHES, ETC.) Once you get it up and running I suggest you save (write it down) as much info as you can
for the setup you have. Good Luck, if i can help i will try.

Yes, had a real lesson on force loading via USB. Probably forget everything by the time I need to do it again. Tomorrow I will need to check things further as to why I have no quality or signal. Hope I didn't fry the switch.Quote:
