Locals not mapping

[waldonh]

Just had a new install with a 722 today. My locals are in the 4 digit numbers, but have not showed at the local mapped numbers (ie 4, 9, 11) like they use to be on my 522 at my old house....what's going on?

It's been about 3 years since I had a 722, but, there is a menu item that you can bring those channels into the 3 digit arena. I just don't remember where it is. Someone here will give you direction....

May take an overnight reboot

If I am not mistaken...Go Menu -6-1-8...Should be local channel setup or scan

Keeping my fingers crossed for the overnight reboot... Dishcomm, I tried your sequence but no luck-thanks for the suggestion. The only local channel setup I see is for an OTA module, but I'm getting my locals directly off dish

Does that have an option for a channel scan?
In any event, the system setup is the place to go for adjustments etc.
You can always try a hard reboot....Unplug the receiver for 30 seconds. Then reconnect the electricity. See if that works

There's no user option for local channel mapping. I don't know what some people are talking about.

I do believe I had a similar issue once when activating a new receiver/account, and it rectified itself by the next day.

A hard reboot certainly wouldn't hurt.

I agree, there is no user setting for Satellite locals to map them it is simply done like all other Satellite channels. You could do a reset/check switch or probably better in this case wait till the overnight updates take place.
Also try the all channel menu to be sure the menu you are using isn't for some reason why you are not seeing them.

Thanks all for your suggestions, overnight updates complete, hard reboot and issue still exists...

It sounds you are going to have to do what I did several years ago. I had to get past the first level of tech support to find a rep. who knew how to fix it.
It was an authorization problem where the signal wasn't sent through right. I only did this after trying all the other things suggested in this thread.

You should probably contact DIRT.

 

[Tampa8]

Yep, maybe just a rehit of your account, but a DIRT member here would be the one to contact.

DIRT to the rescue, problem fixed. I moved to a different Locals Market and the account had my old locals. When the new/correct locals were applied the channels mapped properly. Thanks all for your help.
