S7070

Just got a second hand unit that was going from previous owning and when I plug it in it tells me to check Ariel/cable. But when I plug in my old unit it receives channels well, why would this be happening

Try a Factory Reset, this will wipe any settings from the old owner as it looks like he used a slightly different setup than you do, so a factory reset will correct this issue and will scan for channels.

Let me know if you any further help or assistance.

Rescan on Dish TV S7070

The following instructions are supplied by the manufacturer and extracted from the Dish TV website.

With some channels being transmitted from a Sky transponder, the device may need a factory reset to locate the transmission.

The steps to do this are as follows:

Press the menu button on the remote to bring up the main menu.

Select Installation and Press Ok

Select Factory Default and Press Ok

Enter the pin code for the receiver (The default is 0000)

Select Yes and press OK

After the factory reset process has completed you will be prompted to select your region and press OK.

Once the scan process has completed you should have access to all channels again.

If after the factory reset process you have no channels loaded you may need to manually set the LNB frequency

S7070 LNB Drift

To correct for an LNB that has drifted in frequency the steps are as follows

Press the menu button on the remote to bring up the main menu.

Select Installation and Press Ok

Select Satellite Setup and press OK

Select LNB No and press the right arrow until 8 is displayed

Select LNB Low Frequency and using the number keys enter 10745

Select LNB High Frequency and using the number keys enter 10745

Select 22Khz and press the right arrow to select Off

Press OK to start scanning

Select "Yes" and press OK

Once the scan process is completed you will be returned to the Installation menu. Press the Exit button twice to return to normal viewing.

In some cases this process will not correctly add the channel you're scanning for.

In this case you will need to manually enter the transponder details for that channel.

The steps to do this are as follows:

Press the Menu button to bring up the main menu

Select Installation and press OK

Select Transponder Setup and press OK

Select Add Transponder and press OK

Enter 12519 in Frequency

Select Symbol rate and enter 22500

Check that Polarity is set to Horizontal

Check that network search is set to Off

Press OK to start the Scan process

The scan process will take approximately 1 minute to complete.

Once the scan process is completed you will be returned to the Satellite Scan menu.

Press the Exit button to return to normal viewing.
