·I am having some problems and was hoping someone could explain what's going on. I have a very basic system and do not know much about the tech of it (spotbeams, transponders, switches, etc...). I have a single dish with service from e* and a receiver that's one of the old ones, 2700 I think. It's been used a few years with no problems. Lately (for awhile) the program guide has become frustrating (VERY slow with alot of "no info available"). When it would do that I would just advance the guide a few hours in then back track and the info would show up.
Here's my current problem which just started today. ALL channels on the guide are listed as "no info available". If I try to advance the guide it stays on "retreiving program info" until it tries to go back to the last channel it was on. Now as for the channels, they seem to be on ok as far as I can tell except for 241 and 247 nbc/fox) which does say transponder 3. Oh also I just noticed that ALL my pay-per-view channels are now listed in red. Normally the ones in red I can't get so I guess they are all gone.
This crap is pissing me off. The guide was difficult before but now it is acting weird and is unreadable. Also, at this moment, I do not know how reliable those two channels which are gone will be and I normally watch them all the time.
Sorry to go on but it is frustrating. I know my receiver is old but it has been completely reliable until now, today. Any advice would be great.
Thanks for your time!
