I took a quick look around the menu and didn't see any place to look at what tiles I have available. What button do you push to get to that screen?
I checked and the id that is on the back is the same as where you pointed me within the menus. It looks like someone has already had the battery treatment done, because it has stickers from the electronics company that does the service. I'll probably still pull it apart and check it with my meter (I forget the name and can't check the sticker right now). What I think is bad news is that I see something like 5018 channels in that menu where I checked the id. From what I've read if you have over 5000 you can get some kind of corruption right?
Also, I'd like to get this thing running with both 4dtv and C-band FTA. Sounds like I need to get a Gbox or a Vbox. Saw the thread on the Vbox vs Gbox, I'm leaning towards the Vbox X because I can get one for 1/2 the price of a Gbox. Any reason I should consider something different? I've got a Pansat 2500 and a Coolsat 5000 to use for FTA. I know a lot of stuff is going S2, but I was able to get the Coolsat for $30 and the Pansat for free, so I'd like to see what I can get with this dish before I go after the S2 feeds. Also still need to figure out where exactly in the back yard to put this monster. I've got too many trees!
