Channel not authorized

[TheKrell]

I'm getting this popup on my 722 over the last few days on a number of channels. After the message pops up briefly, it goes away on it's own and all is normal. My 612 does not do this. What's going on here? I believe the channels involved are all coming off 72.7.

Edited to add: I see no problem with signal strength, and the receiver reports all is well, other than the annoying popup.

IT WORKED!
My plan ( for world domination )to assimilate you into the Hopper kingdom through increasing your frustrations with your current setup is WORKING!

I used to see that, occasionally, on my 722 years back. It would go away after a day or two...

Navy knows I'm a lost cause and he doesn't bother with me anymore.

Do you know what the message says or the error number?

Just pay your bill.


Kidding, just kidding............

"Programming not authorized" error 005. It comes and goes very quickly, so it's sometimes difficult to read. When it's up, the channel can be a little pixellated as though the signal strength is inadequate.

Will you send me a PM with your phone number?

Yes, he wants your number so he can upgrade you to a new HOPPER WITH SLING /Joey system!

I'm pretty sure that code means your left threaded signal straightener is dying. As you no doubt know, they aren't available any more, having been replaced by the interrupted screw waveform polisher in the Hopper, which is much faster to replace but isn't backward compatible.

Beverage?

"signal straightener", "screw waveform polisher"

someone's been reading Penthouse Letters again...

 

[Templeton0543]

And all this leads to you dropping the 722 and getting the HWS

 

[navychop]

Great! I'll bet it took a long time before he learned to get it all out without laughing.


And I need that Hopper TurboScope!

The other possibility is that the flux capacitor is out of alignment.
