ok so heres the deal.
i was set to do your average 1 tv installation with a 301. (yes, i'm a dns tech) I get there and the customer had a 508 that they own from a previous account and ask if i could hook that up instead. Why not. So i make sure all the cables and connections are good, blah blah blah. Run a checkswitch and i get 119 and no 110. no problem. change lnb, same deal. come to realize that its the software. so i start downloading, finish that, it then programs the memory and then restarts like usual.
Now, here comes the problem. after the restart, all i get is a blinking power light. i wait and wait and after about ten minutes i go to restart. FPR doesn't do anything. so i unplug it for a few minutes and plug it back in.. The blinking stops, it's solid. still i never get a picture. i try CH3, CH4. both the rca outs and the s-vid out. i never get a thing and i end up installing the 301 instead of the 508 onsite.
what happened to the 508??
