[SWEETPETE]

Thanks to theuduk for the Suggestion

This will work with all Standalone Fta's you should get around 111 Channels depends on your area no file is needed you will get area locals ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox Plus ION Tv Nasa and info channel There are No Channels on Bev Just Dn 110/119

1 - Write down your antenna settings for 110/119

2 - Do a factory default

3 - Reset antenna settings for 110/119

4 - Turn channel search from ALL to Fta

5 - Scan for channels

6 - After you scan delete any channels that have a $ sign

7 - Watch Tv

Enjoy it while it lasts , Its better then nothing

He means delete the channel i.e. menu>edit>hilight channel to delete> may be green button for you but check at bottom of screen.

I found it, Theuduk. But when i delete the sign, the channel will disappear too, right?

Good Find. I got all except the locals. Did get KCNC cbs but no NBC,ABC or FOX. I have a SV 360. Any help on getting locals ie do I need to turn local channel off or do I need to key in a certain city and town? My favorite person SWEETPETE.

Yes the idea is to remove scrambled channels so that every channel you have is active.

I found it a little bit easier, cause there a quite a few channels, to make the ones that don't have the dollar sign favourites, and put them all into favourites 1. This way I swap my guide to favourite 1 and its just the good channels.

[theuduk]

That is the way I used to do it with my PS2500 savyvt70, with my SVs just sort FTA although the SV4000 leaves some scrambled ones behind.

[savyvt70]

I tried it that way theuduk on my SV 360 but it won't show any info in the guide, so I'm channel surfing blind. Had to go back to the old way and favourite them all.

One thing I have not seen is how to update EPG if only are on STB, think CNN ch.200 should be on STB somewhere to load EPG, think there are other ch. that update as well but do not know which ones.
As long as you are comfortable with your method that is the way to go.

That is exactly how I did it. I put all the good ones into favourite1 and I got 42 channels in Toronto (excluding advertising ones).
