EPG??????
Over half of the channels give me a no information message? How do I fix it? Went to 239 and let it set for about ten minutes, and that's when about half of the channels came in, but the rest are still missing in action!!!

Maybe it depends upon where in the continent you are located, but I found that I needed to go to channel 200 to get my EPG. Once I did that, just a couple of minutes was enough to load 'er up. Worth a try.

Re: EPG??????
Tried 200 and still no luck. I tried it the way boboisno1 and Brian3180 said and still nothing. When I try it Brian3180's way and turn the box off from the back, the box is already on when I switch it back on from the back. If that matters? Love the box, but miss my EPG, BAD!!!

Re: EPG??????
Yes tried it on 239 and 200. Do I need to hit the green EPG button or the guide button? I tried both ways already with no luck? Doesn't make sense to me. Could I have something not set right or could the directv LNB's be causing a problem? Any suggestions?

Re: EPG??????
can you confirm in your settings that you do see 119 listed on top right when you select 119 from the list and 110 listed on top right as you change satelites respectively. This could be a problem. go to channel 200 and press quide button and let it run for 5 min.

Re: EPG??????
Yes I have both 119 110 locked but DO NOT have all EPG for either bird! I'm getting all channels too so if I wasn't locked on both sats then I would be missing half the channels.
