    F5 Installation menu options no longer available

    Hi

    First post on this forum so all help appreciated

    Got an F5 box a few weeks back and after reading various posts on this forum got it all up and running.

    Went to conduct a blind scan to refresh the frequencies today but the only options that are available to me from the Installation menu are Installation antenna , Satellite list and LNB power

    The following options are "greyed out" Antenna set up , single satellite search , multiple satellite search and TP list

    All functions and channels work

    Is there a code I can input on the remoter control that enable the 4 options currently disabled.

    IS there something I can do to enable the 4 missing options

    Thanks for reading

        Its probably due to the fact that you have it setup for a single satellite only which renders the other options useless

            if you check Satellite List you'll find the problem lies there, if there's nothing there this will 'grey out' the options you mention

              This happens if you don't have a "tick" next to the details in the Satellite list.

              In the Satellite list menu, press the "OK" button to place a tick next to the details. When you exit, the other options should be available.

                    I have found the same issues sometimes. Power off the f5 box via the remote control , turn back on via the remote control and in my experience the channels come back

                    Hope this helps
