Traxis 4550 Locking up during scan?

[Optical Serenity]

I have a new traxis dbs-4550, and during the scan (either preset or auto) it has started to lock up on some satellites? Its strange, it'll lock up as soon as it gets a signal and shows the channels on that TP.

I've done a full factory reset of the box and tried even deleting all TP's...no help.

As soon as it gets a strong signal, it just sits there and tries to scan that TP for channels, and hangs... :-(

Possibly data streams. The Pansats often lock up when they hit data transponders. What satellites are you having the trouble on?

Around IA8...

I'm having the same problem on IA8 (TELSTAR 8).

Like Optical Serenity, I also have the Traxis DBS-4550.
While it's doing a blind scan it gets locked up on 11945,V,SR7950
receiver was 56% done scanning and would go no further.

Tryed my Pansat 2500A. Same result. It locked up almost on the same frequency
11944,V,SR7957 receiver was 66% done scanning and would go no futher.

These frequencys appear to be ABC news Feeds according to Lyngsat.

Both receivers got 2 channels.(nothing to view on these channels)
1 channel 304
2 Travertine

Manually I put ABC News Now 11960,V,3979 in the Traxis DBS-4550, good picture and signal.

Is anybody having problems scanning IA8? What did you do to get passed the lockup?

Same here, my Traxis 3500 locks everytime scanning I8 at Freq 11944 at 56%

Odd.... I use 3500sd and just scanned IA8 last night...no lock up...i'll try today and see if something has changed on one of the TP's.

:

I just did a scan 4:14 est got 4 video channels ( one's a new feed..hehe) and no lock up..Wierd

I now have a Fortec Mercury II (I love this receiver) and it doesn't lock up, but I do get the Travertine channel...no video though. It takes about three times as long to scan IA8 than anything else!

Got to be a manufacturer or bin issue..takes me about 7 min.

Wonder if it's a 4:2:2 channel...

That might be what's confusing the receivers.

A lot of FTA receivers lock up when they scan over HD channels.

Same for me,Traxis 3500 hangs while scanning I8 at Freq 11944 at 56% complete. The receiver does not lock up as in requiring a power off, I can hit exit to cancel the scan and go back to the menu screen.

Too bad there isn't and option to exclude a tp in the scan. It would be interesting to hear from others that are not having this problem and what receiver and firmware revision they are using.

As previously mentioned mine does not hang...I've been trying to see it hang since this thread started.
