How to scan with the cnx Mini?

[artmustel]

What is the best way to do a scan with the cnx mini? Whatever I do I miss a lot of channels/trasponders. I have the mini, a dishpro antenna to 110 and 119 (antenna is correctly installed, I receive both satellites but not all channels. By instance, I can not get by scanning the hispanic channels and I have to rely on a saved lineup that someone sent me once). Thanks for your help.

just make sure your sig and qua.is good and do a sat scan

[artmustel]

Yes, that is what I do however I don't get all channels.

as long as your diseq is set up right , just go to the bottom of that page and hit search. that will bring all channels that are available to you in your area.

Artmustel if you can buddy try to get a single lnb for 119 and 110. I've always had trouble getting all the channels from a Legacy lnb or DP lnb. I have a mini and a duo. For some reason the single lnbs working better and you get all the channels. Try it out bro!

How to scan your sats.

I will cover only the easy most common way. For other options please read the manual.

Change LNB frequency to match your setup (11250 usually)
Enter other option according to your setup

How to download EPG
Press EPG
Press either the RED button for Dish or GREEN for the Bev.
For dish a window will pop up with a status bar that takes 5 minutes to fill the epg.
For BEV it will take a couple minutes with no status bar.

How to manually Change the Keys.

Press menu
scroll left to KEY WORKS
Press OK
Enter the menus by pressing ok
Enter the keys as needed with the buttons as instructed on screen.
Press ok on the options to save.
Basically the OK button is your access into the menus. Pressing it on different options brings you to the next.
To go back press exit.
Takes a few minutes to get used to it but it is one of the easiest to use.

How to choose between sat packages.
Press SAT
choose either ALL, DISH package or BELL package.

This Unit automatically defaults to SID order.
When in ALL the BEV channels will be renumbered into the 10000 (example channel 400 becomes 10400)

when you choose either package the renumbering will be off.

How to edit the Picture quality

Press SORT
Window pops up with adjustments
These settings get defaulted with each factory default if you have a setting you like I recommend writing it down in case a default is needed.
