Where are my channals
Sorry to ask a studid question, but I've been out of town for a little while. I'm missing lots of stations. USA, HBO Comedy, some Adult channals, etc. Did they change sats? What do I need to do in order to get them back? I'm getting a headache looking through months of posts. I have a Viewsat VS2000. Everything else is great. Just missing some channals. Thanks in advance to all the mods and helpers. Without you guys, I would be lost. Thanks

Re: Where are my channals
Yes. The channel number is there but no picture. Both sats are being picked cause in setup I get both in the upper right corner. My buddy told me they might of went to another sat.

Re: Where are my channals
OK buddy.. Just do a Factory default and then setup your antenna setting and save. Then do auto scan. BTW that channels is still in 110 & 119.

Re: Where are my channals
Do I need to delete or add any TP Freq's? Is that what changed? Why did they disappear? I did a channel scan and didn't get them back. I'm always scared to do a default cause one time I was screwed for a week. Hence I have more than one channel of the same thing. Thanks in advance for your help

Re: Where are my channals
Probably a key change buddy, dont stress over factgory defaulting your box, just allows you to get to know her a little bit better!

Re: Where are my channals
If keys were wrong wouldn't I have nothing? Autoroll works fine from what I can tell cause everything else works great. I love the pic by the way. Never afraid of her. WhoAhh.

Re: Where are my channals
Buddy i know you other channels are working like channel 200 CNN. And i experience this before. So to resolve my problem i do a factory default then auto scan..Yes in doing the factory default will erase the channels...

Re: Where are my channals
I've got PPV's, most of the movie channels, 5 adults, all the out of town locals, plus more. I just miss the ones I can't view right now. Funny. I'm never content with what I have. I always want more. So you're saying do a default, scan both sats, then everything will be OK? Do I need to make any changes with the TPF's or any other settings. This will be the 2nd Factory default I've done in 3 years.

Re: Where are my channals
dn was been moving a lot of stuff around lately. my brother had a few "dropped" channels a little while back. a factory default and a fresh scan will get your channels back.

Re: Where are my channals
So don't I shouldn't change a thing? Just reset, re-enter all my numbers in settings, and scan? Thanks in advance. By the way, I'm also in Ohio. Southwestern part.
