Hello I need some advice?

[model3500]

Ok I am very new to all this so go easy on me lol. I did a factory re-set on my box and I read that it only erases certain things, I thought it erases it all. I set up the receiver the same way a friend has it so I know the settings are somewhat correct on that part but my channles are all over, I cannot go from 2,3,4 like that I cannot see local channels and I lost a lot of them. I get some liek 9388 then it jumps to 323 and so on. I have done everthing I have read and still it won't go back to the original way it was. I will like to know if anyone can help me. thanks

Hello and welcome. Have you set it to sort by sid?

[model3500]

I really don't know how to do that can u tell me please?

[boboisno1]

It's an option in the menu system somewhere.

While setting it to sort by SID, make sure that you also check your settings for your local city. When this is set properly, you can use your local channel numbers to access the local channels instead of the SID number.

I don't have the sid option on my box, and i have tried everything I need someone who has or knows the 3500 very well. the same thing happen to a friend of mine and he told he the guy that fixed it told him that his channels were screwed up. that is what I am looking for to fix.

If you have a sat button on your remote just hit that , in the menu choose Dishnet or Echostar package and that puts all your channels in order..Hope this helps..
