Flash Process Hiccups
Sometimes it takes a few minutes for autoroll to successfully find the key. After you flash the unit and hook it back up, simply be patient and wait up to 10 minutes before you are concerned there is a problem.
If you just flashed the receiver you may note the signal is not available right away. Just wait a few minutes for the black screen to go away. Again, this is likely due to autoroll. You may have to reboot after several minutes (wait 10 minutes) for reception.
Dish Network Settings
- ! YOU MUST BE A PAID SUBSCRIBER. NEVER PROGRAM FOR CHANNELS YOU ARE NOT PAYING FOR! IT IS ILLEGAL TO PIRATE SATELLITE TELEVISION!
Settings:
LNB power ON LNB type OCS-DP LNB frequency 11250 Transponder 110=12224, 119=12239 22khz OFF Search option All Network search ON Diseqc 110=2, 119=1 Motor Disable Legacy switch OFF
You have to set your antenna seting correctly for your dishpro twin OCS DP, diesq port 1 119, diesq port 2 110. Do not do blind scan on circular sats auto scan only.
The first time setup only you will need to: Go into your Menu, then to System Settings. Now scroll down to User Options. Click on that and then turn on Channel Number by SID and Sort by SID. My first attempt put a “2” in front of every channel eg. 2400, not 400. Then Press the “SAT” button on your remote and then select the satellite provider name, this sinks up channel numbers. This was the easy fix for the channel # correction and only have to do the "SAT" button fix from now on after every update.
EPG = channel guide listing downloaded. For best results to populate EPG. Try putting channel on 200 or 195 and let it sit for about 5 minutes and it should populate about 3 days. But it is impossible to get more then that. Because some providers do not do 7 day EPG.
FAQ
- Q: Some channels are locked, namely, the adult content channels.
- A: Go into parent control and unlock the xxxx channels. Go to system settings, parental control, enter 0000, unlock adult channels and switch ratings lock to not used.
- Q: What are all the settings I should check to make sure nothing is locked out?
- A: Go to menu, sistem settings, parentel control, enter "0000", and check if: receiver lock is "OFF", menu lock is "OFF", scramble lock is "OFF", adult channel lock is "OFF", rating lock is "NOT USED".
- Q: I cant get anything in the EPG to show, the programming guide is basically blank. How do I get the EPG to work?
- A: For Dish Network goto channel 239 and let it stay there for about two minutes. This works if you have the settings for 7-day EPG and Stand-By EPG set to ON. For Bell Satellite use channel 410. Another method is to turn the EPG Auto Update ON in the menu and then turn receiver off with the remote for 5 minutes and it will show full epg.
- Q: My audio is fading out or gone, how do I get it back?
- A: Go into the settings and turn off Dolby Sound.
