It's a good idea to delete any previous channel lists, favorites, sats and then redo your setup from scratch including scan


If still no channels:

- make sure correct sat, switch settings are selected
- do a channel scan
- make sure your signal/quality levels are good (60+)
- try loading a channel list
- try a "factory default" reset
- read, read, read.....
