DVR-1100c Bug: Freeze Blindscanning in TP Edit - Resolved

[meinename]

Well I finally am reporting this bug.

Bug is present in DVR-1100c firmware dated the 31st Jan 2009
Unit was updated via OTA update from 97W Ku after resetting unit to Glorystar mode.
Unit was then set in Advanced mode and had backed up channel list (SDB) reloaded.

Running advanced mode, enter TP Edit from Channel Search by pressing red button.
Set search options to "blind scan" and hit search.
Unit becomes unresponsive, requiring flipping the back power switch to recover.

BTW has anyone had OTA update work yet in Advanced mode?

I ran in to a simular problem when I added AMC 9 on port 4 of my switch. Using the unit as a meter to lock the signal when it found the signal it became unresponsive, requiring flipping the back power switch to recover.

This lock-up error occurs in both the DSR100c and the DVR1100c with both the Glorystar and the Advanced modes. We will address in a future firmware release. As a Blind Scan function is usually not performed in the TP edit screen, the fix for this issue has not been given a high priority.

Confimed: The OTA update works in the Advanced Mode by manual update (not automatic). This feature may have been defeated if the channel list that was reloaded after updating to the new firmware has a satellite other than Galaxy 19 in satellite position #1. You may need to modify your satellite list to have G19 in position # 1.

Unable to duplicate. What transponder was the receiver on during the alignment?

freq 11735 SR 4444 on AMC 9 RTN.

Did this lock-up occur once or is repeatable? Not able to duplicate on DVR1100c with V3.17 firmware.

It happened several times in TP Edit mode. It did it while peaking the Glorystar dish with the twin LNB's on AMC4 and G19 and again while tweaking another dish pointed at AMC 9.

It happened in advanced mode and Glorystar mode. It finds the signal. Then while tweaking the dish the receiver locks. Turning the switch off in the back fixes it. This is with V3.17 firmware. I have had no problems while blind scanning.

The problem for me seems to be only in TP Edit mode while peaking the dish, not blind scanning.

For Gary Z TP bug, I have problems using the NIT ID "Disney/ABC" encrypted TP on 121W.
Try 3980 V 27690. Sorry I'm not near my unit to look it up.

After a minute or so, (RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF PEAKING) Unit locks up requiring power switch toggling.
Very frustrating considering I'm usually outside looking in the window 30 FEET AWAY AND 8 FEET UP

And I suppose the Order of Satellites and Transponders has a lot to do with my automatic OTA update issue.
Thankfully it is so easy to backup settings, factory default, Glorystar, OTA update, and reload channels.
Or I could just edit a Factory list again.
I'll need a new remote as a backup. :up

I only have a KU band setup. I wish I also had a c-band dish.

The issue with OTA update was in fact because of my own changing what was in Satellite 1 position.

My bad.
