Getting Channel List Info
I find it annoying when i change the channel and i get a no info on display.Not knowing what your watching does bother me,So i have to scan all sats Echo1,2,3,4,5,7,9,,DTV,Nimiq1,2 and others to get a almost complete channel guide, ,This gives me about 10 repeated channels ,Then i have to manually deleate the repeated channels and just keep the the channels that have information,it takes alot of time....I found it alot easier to connect a old DTV,DN STB to one of my Tv inputs and get the channel gude from there

You only auto scan what sats your watching..Why are you scaning everything?
What sats are you currently watching?

I onlyscan the sats that give me Signal,Quality .Echo 1,2,3,4,7,8,9,: 61.5 DTV3,7 Nimiq 1.2.assiasat ..none of these gives me a complete channel guide..example Echo 1,2 has some channel info but missing channel info on the next channel, but one or two sats echo 4, or 61.5 or DTv ,Nimiq will have the channel info for that channel ,

that sound like a lot of work and big headache to me, for example if you are getting echo7 and echo8 that's all the sats you need to scan

What is your set up peps54? How many dishes ? lnb?
You only have to scan the sats that your looking at..You don't need all the others if your not watching them.

Sorry bud, I agree with mandydish.
For instance, if I was to Watch 91, 110 and 119 I'd only auto scan those sats and use the guides that come with them. There's no need for any others.
I'm already getting a headache..LOL..
Carry on..
