I'm an experienced FTA user, i know how to set up the receiver once its fixed. However, even when i do a hard reboot and load the latest factory file, it still gives me the same error message "noCH" and nothing works at all.. not the remote control nor the features on the receiver, such as CH or Volume.. it's frozen on a blue screen.. |

Jib you load factory from viewsat or not? If yes try unplug your box for 1 hour, that may reset function like remote and you supposed lost pass word if you have. |

if you did the fac reset and still no go, I guess you will have to do load the fac bin and default the box then load the latest bin is the last option. good luck. |

Okay never mind. I took it back upstairs and pressed the "menu" button. It's working. After i do a blind scan, it should work. If it still doesn't work, i'll be sure to let you guys know. Highly appreciate everyone's input and time. Cheers! |
