Second receiver with sub missing channels

[hopetobe1]

I have a second receiver which is subbed and brought it to another home and is properly set up because I was receiving all channels for one day now most channels are gone, is this because it is not at the right home, is this possible.

What provider you have? Maybe your Dish was Move.Didn't matter the area.

[hopetobe1]

provider is dishnet and dish is not moved becuase when i lost channels I tweaked the aiming of the dish but no luck

try resetting it also look and see if you are using the right channel list . you might have it on a list like fav 1 and not on all channel

Thanks for the reply, I have tried resetting and i tried to leave power off for a while to receive possible updates and channel list is set at all channels

[sly]

you might want to do a check switch that will tell you what sats the receiver is really getting and it will if you dish is put up right it will pull in all the channels. not sure how far you moved receiver but you might be in a diffrent spot beam and a check switch should fix things. good luck and let us know how things go

Thanks Sly, I had done a check switch and I am getting green on both 110 and 119, so it is not a question of signal reception because I was getting all channels, a day later lost most channels but still getting a few but not all it is not set to fav channels it is set to all channels. I am stumped

look at the signal quality you can get a green light but if you signal quality is low you will not get all the tp coming in other than that maybe dn donw graded you package it does happen sometimes they dont mean it but who know why well good luck let us know how it goes

Are you in the same zip-code area?that'll mess it up if the right code isn't in the box.

I am not at the same zip code I am at about 30 miles away at a Canadian code, but are these receivers that intelligent, if so how do I correct it.

[boboisno1]

There are some channels that are spotbeamed, it might be that you have now moved out of the area, but 30 miles isn't that bad. Have you had the receiver unplugged for a while?

Thanks every one for all the help found out that receiver needs to be re-activated by dish. When new receiver was activated second receiver was de-activated.

lol that sounds like dn have a great week

so if i currently have 2 working receivers at home number 1 and take 1 to home number 2 with an identical satellite dish i should receive at home 2 just fine? i need to do this temporarily, about a month, the satellite dish is already there, its about 45 miles away, from what i see in this thread it sounds like i am fine, correct?

[hopetobe1]

Yes but you may need to check switch in installation menu when connecting to other home because dish may be reversed at home 2, good luck
