No Signal?
1) Is your signal Quality good? You may need to move your dish
2) How’s your wiring? Check for loose connectors, kinks etc
3) Maybe a dead diseqC switch? Connect the main line directly to the LnB and see if that’s the culprit. A bad DiseqC will sometimes refuse to change satellites for you.
4) Bad LnB? An LnB that’s going bad can refuse to give you a good signal. Expect a sudden massive drop in Signal quality
5) Wrong settings? Check your installation settings. (Lnb type, Lnb Freq, DiseqC # etc) and confirm that they are correct. May also cause a Bad or Scrambled message too.
6) Was I drinking? Maybe you hooked up (for example) 119 to diseqC switch 1 but your Installation Menu on the reciever has 119 to DiseqC number 2.
7) Human Error? Did you plug your RG6 cable in the correct spot in the back of your STB? Were only human ya know

Bad or scrambled channel?
1) Did that channel move Frequencies? Sometimes Auto TP won’t pick that up. Rescanning can sometimes help.
2) Weather Maybe? It is possible. Can also cause a “No Signal” problem too.
3) Is the Key EMU set to ON? Check with your receiver how too’s on how to check that.

Wait for Picture or Standby download? Never ending Autoroll?
1) Latest Bin? Sometimes a current Bin is needed to fix a fake key roll
2) Change channel? Autoroll works better on a strong signal channel. You might want to try that.
3) Manual key entry? Has worked countless times. Check with the proper receiver section on how to do that. You can find updated keys at the in the " Keys" section.
4) I blame the Bin! If other peeps say that bin is working still except for you then try reloading that same bin

No EPG displaying?
1) What time is it? Make sure your Date/ time and GMT is correct. (Note that GMT should be set to reflect Daylight savings time)

My Reciever has these strange Glitches
1) Factory Time!! Download the factory Bin. It will clean those glitches up. Then download the Current bin right after.
2) Factory time again!! Factory Reset will fix other problems and give you a fresh start.

Read your other post and the password is 0000 for all receivers unless you change it then good luck.

Thanks for useful info, that explained many thing but one. I have two dishes - one for 119 & second for 61.5 and a clon of Pansat 2500. Worked fine until I've got last bin loaded and now getting all the channels from 119 and some from 61.5. I know they are DN, so the first thing I've verified that the proper Nagra2 keys are installed. Still have the same problems - some 61.5 are working, some - not. What's the problem for this? Does 61.5 use different keys for different channels (providers) even though these are DN? If so, where can I obtain these keys and provider Nos (in particular, DN No for 61.5)? KeyMaster doesn't provide such info...

Thanks

If you lose some channels (but not all) you should rescan them again.
Clean unit first with factory reset to remove old channels, then AutoScan the birds again to get them back.
If keys were bad...you would get no channels (except Home channel #100).

Well, I did rescan and I didn't loose those channels, they just reported as bad or scrambled.
I didn't try factory reset. Do you mean, to load the factroy bin or just to go to menu and to do a Factory Reset?
Thanks

When I say "Lose Channels" I mean "Scramble Channel".
Just the Factory Reset should do it. Then AutoScan.
