DP 7200 shows only 1,101,103,580 channel

[khichadi]

I just got an old DP7200 from my friend. I just connected it to check it out and it only shows channel 1, 101,103 and 580.

I have received yellow cards for rest of my receiver and this 7200 was inactive for a year with blue card.

I sould see all the channel in guide(in RED) eventhogh it's not active yet. Am I correct?
I can see 508, 101 on the TV without any problem.
Why I don't see any other channel in guide listing?

The blue cards are completly dead now, you will need to get a new yellow card before you cant get any channels.

As far as am aware, I dont think they are activating that old PVR model any longer. I could be wrong

They'll still activate it...I had a 5000 activated recently for about 3 days until I could get to another 301 to replace the one that fried.

If you only see those channels, the receiver has been deactivated by dish because whoever had it before you was hacking Goto the system diagnostics screen and check the Location ID of the box. If it is 00000001, then it has been hit and you are SOL...

The channels you are getting are commonly referred to as "Americas Top 3"

Also, check and make sure the EPG is showing "all channels", that could be a problem too. But I bet my first guess is correct.
