numba1guju · May 2nd, 2009

someone in the family was messing around with settings and seems to have hit the factory default button, i tried rescanning satellites but nothing seems to be appearing...keeps saying failed for every single channel....what to do?

thanks in advance

hello and welcome .you need to tell us what you have for dish switches and what sats you are pointed at and then we can try to figure this out.

umm...im not sure where to find this information, all i know is I usually catch the echostar sats...sorry newbie

Factory default will wipe out your receiver settings. You have to go into antenna set-up and put the information back into the sats your pointed at.

i have no clue how to do that

ive been looking on the forums but dont seem to understand what to do

you go into menu then antenna setup ,scroll for your sats if it was 119w echo star ,then go down the the installation menu ,it will show you some thing like this.
lnb type- standard or what kind you have
diseqc option-most likely port -1
switch-disable
freq-11250
tp-12239
lnb power -on
22khz-on
iam sorry if its not right but it should give you a idea,i dont own a viewsat.now when your in antenna settings if everything is right you will see a lock on your sat,it will appear in the top corner again-119 echostar hope this helps somewhat.good luck.

i ended up playing around with the settings and got it up, so far i got hold of 110 and 119, how do i get the rest of the channels like TNT, ESPN, what sat are they on? oh yeah and i got hold of 61.5 but none of the channels work(im in the area so should be able to get it) do you know what the setup is for 61.5?

**snakebite** · May 3rd, 2009

all the channels you mention are on 119,as for 61.5 i think is gone n3,noy positive though

good work my friend ,glad to here you got it going.good job,now you no a little more about your setup.

After you factory (D) go and load factory vo279 file then current fix go to installation then antenna set up your echostar119 DISEQC should reed port 1 echostar 110 should reed 2 on DISEQC SAVE AND GO THATS IT.. IF the channels are completly gone go to auto scan and do your birds.
remember go back and check your disq on both birds make certian there right.

119 DSQ should be on 1 then ht f1 on remote
