lost anik F1

[lawless]

I have just setup DSR315 with a with a 75cm dish. Everything was working fine until I had to unplug the receiver for a minute. Now I cant get a signal from anik f1. Any help would be appreciated.

Are you getting signal from F2 (channel 298)?

I do not get a signal on 298,but I get video on 563(cbc Montreal) and 614(ctv Montreal).

CBC Montreal is 302; CTV Montreal is 312 - so you indeed have a problem. There are 2 types of 75cm dishes out there - stacked and nonstacked.

The nonstacked dish has builtin LNBF/multiswitch. It has connections for 4 receivers.

The stacked version has external multiswitch. There are 2 wires (1 from each LNBF) running to the multiswitch. If you have this unit, you may have the F1 LNBF hooked up to the F2 (22khz) input on the multiswitch. It should be hooked up to the 0 khz input.

MY LNBF nonstack with 4 outputs. Any more help would be appreciated.

sounds like the channelmap is screwed up.. I would try unplugging the receiver for 10-15 minutes, and plug it back in, do not change channels, just leave the receiver on either 284, or 299, whichever it lets you tune to.

if it does not fix itself after about 15-20 minutes, you may need to do a factory reset, and then a rehit from starchoice.

Press Option 6-7-7-8.
Wait 30 seconds.
Turn on your receiver and set it to channel 284 for 1 minute.
Set your receiver to channel 299 and call Star Choice for a rehit.

I reset the receiver to factory defaults but cant get a signal on 284 or 299.

When you said in your intial post that "everything was working fine"; I assume that you were receiving all the channels that you are subscribed to.

Did you pull the power cord from the receiver before disconnecting the RF cable to it?

I think its time I have a technician look at it.Thanks to everybody who tried to help.
