Don't buy coolsat 8100 DH, it's not a good receiver. go here to pick one of the top receiver:

Grasshopper, thanks for the info. I wondered why sometimes the EPG filled in better than others.

With PS 3500SD, which is what I have, when you first turn it on, you can exit to go straight to viewing,(but you'll have no EPG to speak of) or press "ok" to load the EPG. After reading this info, I found that if I put it on one of those channels, turn it off, then turn it back on and press "ok" to load the EPG, it fills in almost completely, where before, it was filling in patches, with big gaps. It doesn't fill in by itself, though, from just leaving it on one of those channels for awhile. Maybe it will on other STB's, though. I guess mine getting to be kind of a dinosaur.
Now that I know this, I can change to one of the listed channels when I turn it off at night, so I can just load EPG when I first turn it on.

Some of my receivers have the feature to download EPG and extended up to 6 days. The one with out this feature, I go to one of those channels and leave it there for awhile (1-2 hours) until it populated to max.

I hope this will clear up any uncertainty on which channels maybe used for best EPG population.

Note: Remember to add 1000 to the ExpressVu channel number if you use Bev channel renumbering.

Am such a nerd.......... I had to rid myself of Coolsat 7000, and plug in my old receiver fro BEll.
I could for the hech o me get any channel.......all scramble

Q: I paid someone to come in my house hookup he's loptop to my VS2000 topbox and in 5 min i had tv.Now I don't have TV, I can't reach that person, all I get is "autoroll processing" can I learn how to do it myself?
Can I use the remote Control and change some numbers to get reception again? right now I have No Picture & No Sound.
Please Advise, Thank you.

1st - you hijacked my thread, Please open you own thread next time
2nd - try to do hard reboot, turn on your tv and leave it on any channels until pictures comes on. Do not flip the channel back and forth during updates.
