I was looking for some info on this as I'm not testing a 4000...****ually they are pretty good running receivers.
Sometimes it takes a good couple of minutes for the new bin to kick in after you load it.. I've waited up to 3- 4 mins for it to kick in sometimes on other receivers..if it was working ok before you loaded the newest bin it should be fine..maybe do a factory default, reload factory file and then new file again. remeber to write down settings before factory default..
maybe someone who is testing one of these thats had the same problem will read this and jump in. hang tight..

ok I have done factory resets and maybe that is why it is not working? what setting were I suppose to write down?

[Tbass]

do you have your auto roll option set to on??

[RICKSBEACH]

oh, ok, so you had already done the factory default before?
we need all your setup info and what sats are you viewing

I would love to comply.. but where do I find my set up info.. where can I find that info? as for satlights how do I know which ones I am using?. I did blind scans .. The channels say echo if that helps.

[RICKSBEACH]

try menu, dish settings...I not sure how to get to your set up as I'm not testing a 4000..
sorry bud..

[RUKrazy]

Make sure you have the newest bin installed.
Then go to the menu, dish setup.
Pick a sat, which ever one your dish is pointing at, 110 or 119 usually.
set your diseqc for that sat, 110 is usually port1, 119 is usually port2.
Then scan sat, don't do a blind scan.
Then save when it asks you to and see if that works.
Just repeat for multiple sats.
If that doesn't work, then post more information about your setup, dishes, lnbs, switches and settings in your stb.

[RICKSBEACH]

use auto scan and all should be good..let us know how it works out for you..

Ok, you need to update your main software to V0251p, and then it should work.

Ok did that again . with the new bin 251.. still not working.. I did notice that my receiver still reads 250 not 251 if that means anything I don't know.. so whats next??

[Dudedude]

Hello is ther anybody awake this mourning

[RUKrazy]

Ok, you still have two main problems here.

1. You are not getting the software loaded because it should say 251 in the version if it was really loaded, not 250.

2. You said when you scan for channels, you get channels but they are like echo..., well that means that you are scanning the wrong sat, you must be selecting the wrong sat from the list when scanning, your dish is pointing at echostar8(110) or echostar7(119) and you are scanning with amc4 or galaxy10 or something that is wrong, so you need to choose the sat from the list that matches the sat that your dish is pointing at.

Here is a link to a setup guide for sv4000, read it, see if it helps:
