aquiring channels

[gilunionhall]

hi guys -

i don't know if this is the correct location for this question or not - but if it isnt, i'm sure someone will direct me to the correct location.

since last night i have had trouble with both of my 622's when i change channels.

at the best - it is about 5 - 10 seconds before the new channel comes in.

at the worst the "acquiring satellite signal" message appears on the screen.

is anyone else having these problems?

thanks,

gil

Do a check switch check and let the guide load , followed by a power cord reboot and it should fix the problems.

hi mike -

thanks for the response.

not being real technically proficient, i wondered if the "power cord reboot" was as simple as unplugging and then replugging the power cord - so i did a search of this forum and found these directions on a previous thread --


1) Power off the 622
2) unplug the power inserter.
3) disconnect the cable from the power inserter at the, "to switch" end.
4) power on the 622 and run a check switch (It will do the legacy matrix which takes a long time)
5) power off the 622 when the check switch is complete
6) at the DPP44 disconnect all the satellite LNB connections
7) reconnect the cable from the switch end of the inserter
8) reconnect the A/C to power inserter
9) power on the 622 and run a check switch (It will read and clear the DPP44 satellite matrix)
10) power off the 622 when the check switch is complete
11) power off the power inserter
12) reconnect the satellite LNB cables to the DPP44
13) reconnect the A/C to the power inserter
14) power on the 622 and run a check switch

are thses 14 steps what i need to do?

thanks again,

gil

It is simple:

1) Power off the 622 by unplugging it
2) Wait at least a minutethe power inserter.
3)Power on the 622.
