    Default how to get proper channel names

    Did a blind scan and getting channels names like this

    channel 1250

    Is there a way to get proper channels names? or maybe load a channels list?

    thanks

    I'm guessing you're on north so select bev
    I think dish is selected by default

    Pardon my ignorance, it's been a while since I've played with this. How do I select bev packages?

    Push Menu Button, List pops up, scroll to Option, push it, ANOTHER LIST comes up, down to Renumbering by SID=OFF
    DOWN to Renumbering Local CH=your closest location, Down to MODE=Network.
    Once all is setup, do a SAT. Scan 91 & 82

    The Default channel setup for Most of these FTA receivers is DISH, That's why the Re-Numbering for Bev
    No confusion that way. Make sure Network is selected for Chan. Mode in Menu settings & Renumbering Local CH is set
    to your Nearest Location. When you do Scans for North Birds do SAT. SCANS, not Blind Scans, and I advise not to Load any
    Channel Lists, main reason is they are usually not setup for your Location or setup.

    For some reason I see the channels names are changing now and becoming proper. I'm not exactly sure what changed but it seems to be updating now. thanks everyone!
