Try auto scaning because blind scan can cause duplicates and did you try a hard rear boot..flick the switch from the back of the stb

Re: viewsat exreme 2000 scanning problem

I did try many times auto scan. There is no chanel. I did many times the blind scan. If I blind scan once for 61.5 seperatly with blind scans then I see some chanels, but when I go to the Antena setup the settings for 61.5 go back to the factory defaut. When I start the auto scan or blind scan for 119 or 110. It messed up every thing and go to the search signal. The settings go back to the factory settings.
I did down load`firmware for viewsat extreme and load into it as well but no success. Please help.

When I use auto scan I see a locked while processing as well.

Re: viewsat exreme 2000 scanning problem

Autoscan is not working. It is not picking the most of the channels.

Re: viewsat exreme 2000 scanning problem

I had same problem with mine everytime I go to scan channels it would loose the signal. I finally went and switched the LNB power off and everything is fine now.
