Are you sure that your antenna is right pointed?

if i have good signal and a high percentage on the quality meter, then it should be pointed correctly, right?

anybody???

There is a change that you are pointing to the wrong bird...

would i still be getting good signal and quality if it was pointed wrongly??

Yes, it would give you good quality if it was pointed wrong. Did you try to do a tp scan on 119 tp freq. 12297. Their are 2 hbo stations on that. If you scan and don't get the hbo stations then it could be a pointing problem or a switch problem or a connection problem or a bad lnb. Do just the tp scan, if you get the hbo and they work, you might just need a new scan. If you do a scan connect directly to the lnb so you don't get ghost stations.

ok, i did that tp scan and the two hbo stations aren't there.... so i guess soemthing else is wrong... i'm gonna try to figure it out and play with the switch and the pointing... i'll do what i can, but any suggestions on what things i should try? thanks for the help...

Thats it. When the scan was done did the little window tv work or did that give you scram-bad channel ? Just a thought, go to parental control, second pin, type in your access # and see if set emu is on, if it is off,turn it on.

angelxazn · September 13th, 2005

omg... i don't kno what the heck i did..... that little screen didn't work, so i exited the menu, it took me to channel 1327, which was working... i went to parental control, emu was ON, there was another option set default emu, i clicked on that and a screen came up saying saving data... i exited all menus and now allll my channels work!!!! i'm so happy to be on the same boat as everyone else, thank you!!!!!! =)
