invalid program, search again

[freakazoid789]

All of a sudden every channel says invalid program, search again or No Signal

I have been using sattv5 for months! It used to work wonders, same happens with AJs list, but works if I manually scan the channels

All the antenna settings are normal, checked with someone elses box

How do i fix this problem?

Not sure if I understand the problem correctly.

Are you saying that you get "no signal" on all channels when using a channel list, but the box works OK when you do a scan?

[freakazoid789]

Yeah... it has puzzled me.. :/

[sexysam]

Sorted mine out following instructions as per above

Weird one only thing I can think of is Image is corrupted try doing a Dump of Image, Factory Reset and reload Image see if that cures after that haven't a clue.

[freakazoid789]

factory reset done, reloaded channel lists, still same problem :/

So, I wonder what the difference is between using a preset channel list & scanning yourself?

Using AJ's latest list (28/2/14), the parameters for GOLD are:-

Transponder:- 11817/V/27500
PID:- SID=1968, PID=0106, VPID=0917

If you compare the parameters for GOLD when using a channel list, to when you do your own scan, are they the same?

[freakazoid789]

I dont have gold do you have another channel to compare?

[Nutsandbolts]

Hi. Why dont you ignore other people's channel lists and try and do a blind scan(if your box has this facility) and see what results you get. If you still get problems then your box/firmware may be corrupt. I have seen similar problems on TM5400 boxes.

Regards.

So when you do a blind scan, you are obviously not receiving all the channels.

How about Universal HD:-

TP = 12382/H/29500
PID:- SID=0F28, PID=0103, VPID=0203

If you don't pick up this channel either, then perhaps you could suggest one.

@Nutsandbolts...freakazoid789 confirmed earlier that he gets channels when he does a scan, although it now seems as though he is not picking up all channels, as he said that he's not got GOLD.

I just wanted to compare the info from a channel that does work when he does a scan, compared to the info from AJ's channel list. It might give us a clue as to what the problem is.

[freakazoid789]

Universal HD

12383/v/29498

PID - SID=0F28, PID=0103, VPID=0203

This is so weird!!

[freakazoid789]

yours is 12382 and mine is 12383

[Hadron]

yours is 12382 and mine is 12383

I'ts not unusual for the frequency to be out by +/- 1MHz, but what is unusual is that yours shows as vertical polarisation when it should be horizontal!

I know you said earlier that you checked the antenna setup, but can you confirm it is set to Universal (9750-10600)? Although I don't know why this should change the polarity???

Do you have any other boxes connected at the same time to the same dish?

Its called Frequency drift all Receiver/LNB combinations will or could give a different reading nothing to worry about

confused as to why it suddenly stopped working on the regular frequencies and all my channel lists unreadable

all i did to get my channels back on was to
1.use null modem cable
2.go to skybox.cc
3.download firmware for skybox f3
hey presto all channels came back on
i then deleted channels dun a factory reset then
4.using null modem cable downlloaded skybox f5s firmware and loaded everthing else as well worked a treat for me
hope this works mate as it took me a week to suss it out
