Re: lost some channels after new bin normal?

Same thing for me will not lock during scans
Have tried channel, auto and blind scan.
TSN is one of channels missing.
It seems pol-H channels will not scan ??(from the channel
scan page)
Any ideas??

this may be a longshot, but a buddy of mine was missing channels on his ultra. so after checking a few things, we checked "antenna settings" and his lnb setting was not on "standard" i can't remember what it was on, but when i set it to standard, he got his missing channels back. I've noticed after not having box plugged in, or not used for awhile, antenna settings can get messed up. just something to try if u havnt already. hope it helps.

this may not be your problem but one time i had a werd problem like that . When i would do a auto skan it would skip just a few channels i eaven bought a new reciever it still skip 6 or 8 channels put a new lnb on did 1 auto skan fixed everything so a lnb can be bad an still play most of your channels. i do rember a&e and tv land were two of them because i watch these 2 alot just a hint hope it will help you

Re: lost some channels after new bin normal?

Boy am I ever glad I read this thread, I also noticed that I was missing channels. I found a list for bev and noticed that at times I would skip 10 chans. I read Slicksters post and I had same issue with ocs dp for lnb. Re scanned and now have 407 channels on bev.That is counting the french stuff but I was wondering if other readers would post The amount of channels they get after scan. 407 for me.

Re: lost some channels after new bin normal?

We are on DN and have been slowly loosing channels, first is was all the movie channels like ppv, hbo's etc. now we have lost all of the regular channel tv land cmt tlc etc, to the point of only having one channel. We've put in all the new codes that are posted but nothing seems to be working still only get the one channel. Have also looked at the LNB but its still on standard. Anyone have any ideas?
