Hi,

I haven't been able to get back up since all the trouble started Dec/Jan. I thought we were just in the great draught and there were no fixes, but it sounds like everybody is able to at least get up for a while.

Testing is awesome, cause basic cable is brutal!

Troubleshooting

I've got a Viewsat Platinum
Live Eastern Standard Time
Have been up before with full channels and gone through a number of new bins. Don't think I'm doing anything wrong here?
Just in case I have gone step by step through Thread - HOW TO AIM

Have Factory defaulted and tried at least 10 new bins all with the same nil result
Have noticed there is a new operating display system since last was up
Now displays signal and quality, etc. - Was this something new or is this my issue? How do I go back to the old one?

Most recently tried process in How to Aim with Dbpsw-080222p

After Antenna set up and channel scan with multitude of different satellites (notice there are now more options than previous display system- Have mainly tried Echostar 6, 8

LNB type Standard
LNB Freq 11250
TP freq 12251
Port 1
At bottom S 77 Q 94
Auto DiSEqc - successful
Channel scan - no problem
Wait 15 minutes

Channels stuck in searching signal, autoroll processing or no audio video

Have gone to Options to check autoroll
Auto TP is on - don't really know what this does?
Auto Roll All
Also when I try to download the guide get - Guide not found

Help - don't know what else to do???

No worries. When you went to Ant setup, did the SID of the sat. display on the top? When aiming to echo 8/10 in your antena setup it should say echostar 8/10 on the top if you are aiming to it. The SID should match the bird you are aiming at. If you have no guide then that means 2 things

1. Your reciever is aimed to the wrong bird in the sky, in that case it will just autoroll and nothing will ever come up, no guide and no epg

2. your tansponders are messed up. (not likely)

FYI it is possible to get quality and signal and be aimed to the wrong bird in the sky.
