Channel Error

[majorranger1]

Hi all, Hoping someone can help explain what is going on with my receiver.It's a coolsat 6100 private, I'm finally on the proper sat, I finally managed to put in the latest codes, Now it's finally unscrambled the channels. But now the screen says "Channel Error". Am I missing a special download to bring the channel on my tv? I read something a few weeks ago about "channel master" or something along those lines, is that what I need or is something else wrong. Thanks in advance for your help.

I shut it off at the back, then did a factory restore, then scanned for the satelite again. It still says the same thing "channel Error" Any other idea's I can try? Thanks

Hi again, been pretty busy with work. I'll try to lacate the sats you recommended today, I just got finished loading the factory default files. Hopefully everything goes well.

Well I found echostar 110 and ran the numbers, I had to change the lnb type though, it would'nt find the the sat. I'm still getting "Channel Error" on the tv screen. Any other idea's??. I had purchased the receiver from texas. Would that make any difference to the initial programming of the unit as it's shooting from Ontario, Canada now? Also would it have something to do with my dish? I have a directv slimline multi-satellite dish with integrated ka/ku LNBs with a built in multi-switch. Also I'm running about 40' of rg6 cable. Is there anything wrong with my set up that comes to mind? Thanks for your patience and time.
