I had this receiver a few months ago and commenced doing blind search on about 15 sats. It went fine, but just trying a sixteenth sat it will no longer work. It comes up with 'TP memory full' or something. I have a grand total of about 6500 channels so there must be memory left. I tried deleting some obsolete TP's but no way will it delete them. Pressing the blue function button whne the delete option is available does nothing at all. Just recently I have tried doing a new blind scan on one of the existing satellites to update the channel list. But it just crashes back to a reboot when I press the OK button to start the blind scan. Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong? Or is it a faulty receiver? Thanks. Barry. | ||

My System: 75e-75w C & KU, 36v h-h /36v & diseqc actuators / diseqc -USALS motors / Anlg to HD Channel Masters C120s dishes, stb's inc echo3000, lnbs, meters, custom polar mounts & elevation/incline actuator conversions... | heard this before ... you can have 10,000 channels but not enough tps... Can you back up what you have now so you can experiment ... (to USB if possible) | ||

Satlook nit colour + Horizon hdsm. wii  | I had a similar problem on a visionet receiver which would act sluggish after 3000 channels. One cure was to erase all the radio channels,but leave one behind. | ||

I could experiment anyway without saving because I would prefer to rescan all again I think as there may be some TP' s that have come along since anyway. Fire away if you have any suggestions. Cheers. Barry. ps. Drove past your big dish today actually :-) | ||

If you can't delete TPs.. or some channels (or Radio) then try deleting TPs then... I don't like doing a factory reset without saving but if you are using USALs it's quick to get it all back ... then avoid going too near the maximum number of TPs by a good margin... and do regular back ups too ... Try Jodrell Bank in dishpointer.com or Google Earth... and for all it's size.. they can still only get radio...  | ||

I hate USALs, both unreliable and spoils all the fun. So doing a factory reset would mess this up a bit as I didn't want to have to tune them in again at this point in time. I was thinking of maybe deleting all channels on each sat and doing a blind re-scan on say 80% of the sats? Or are TP's stored forever once blind-scanned? If so, it seems a reset is the only option. Another alternative is to maybe delete a full satellite or two completely? Would this free up some TP's? Cheers. Barry ps. Am on latest firmware by the way. | ||

I thought you had problems deleting TPs... if you can delete them they should release the memory log jam... You can delete a full satellite you're not bothered about.. etc.. it should also release the log jam.. ( I say should because you are dealing with a bug so nothing is 100%... like MS stuff etc.) then edit out unwanted & especially ..duplicated tps which is probably the main problem- that is blind scans find TPs twice or three times giving them a slightly different frequency but they are time consuming to find using alphabetical listing and see the duplicates with similar frequencies- identify the middle freq'and delete the others .... ...have fun.... | ||

And as I said in my first posting, for some weird reason the TM won't let me delete any TP's. If it would I am sure all my problems would be solved as you say there are a few dupes and I am sure I could get rid of even more TP's - if only it would allow me to! When I have the edit screen up and the blue function button says 'delete TP'. I can press it forever but it won't! :-) Anyway, I will have another go at it later in the week and see if can delete sats etc. I'll report back on here in case you are interested. Thanks again. Barry. | ||

Downloaded Clark-tech. I've modified channel list to delete all TP's on two Sats I would never get, then re-inserted the channal data in the Techno and yes, I can now do a blind scan again! I will remove a lot more TPs this way to make room for future blind scans. Many thanks for the tip. Barry. | ||
