Since I started getting my HD locals from E* a few weeks ago, I noticed that channels I receive off of 110 sometimes give me the "check switch" message. These channels include my HD locals, UNIHD, ESPNHD, ESPN2HD, HDNET, HDNET movies, NFLHD, TNTHD, DSCHD. All of these channels I receive from 110. Now, here is the interesting part. When I change to one of these channels, I sometimes get the check switch message. The picture and audio start to clip. But, if I hit the guide button, I can see and here the channel in the little box in the upper right hand corner. As soon as I hit "view live TV", I get the check switch message. I usually hit "ok" or "cancel". Sometimes it fixes itself, while at other times I need to go to another channel and then use the guide to get back to the channel I had problems with before it fixes itself. Could someone explain this to me. Oh, and by the way, I'm all the way in Hawaii.

Try unplugging the sat cables from your receiver. Then run a check switch with them unplugged. This will clear the matrix. Then plug them back in and re run a check switch and let it down load the guide. You might also unplug the receiver and do a hard reset. This should clear up the problem.

How do I run a check switch with the sat cables unplugged. How will I be able to see what I am doing? Not stupid, just a little slow. Thanks

Leave the cables to the TV plugged in. Just disconnect the two sat input cables. You will still be able to see the 622 menus and screens when the TV cables are still connected.

Also check satellite signal strengths, mine was having the same prolems, but my signal strengths of 118 and 129 were in low 40s, and once the technician realigned the dish, I have not had any problems,
