Default losing channels as I change channels

For some reason some of my cannels on 7 lose signal as soon as I change the channel. I have to turn the box off in the back and turn it back on to get it back any ideas what this is?

It's probably just a glitch in the last fix, wait and see if the new file fixes the issue and if you still have the same problem there is few things you can do to fix the problem.

It could be that your dish moved and you have week signal. Can you give us some more info and we can go from there.

Did this problem start on it own or after you changed some settings?

What is your signal quality?

Default Last fix did not work?

I have the VS Pro

I'm having the same problem. Some channels are blocked or frozen. I checked my dish and it hasn't moved. The signal for both sats (Echostar 7 and 8) is perfect.

Any ideas?

When was the last time you did a channel scan. Some channels have moved from 119 to 110. Delete all channels and rescan. Ran into same problem but once I deleted the channel and resaned everything was good.

Default some channels with no audio or video

It is not the LNB because it is getting other channels without problems from both sats Echo 7 and Echo 8.

I have deleted all my channels and rescanned but the problem still there. Anybody knows if there will be another fix?

I know that some people are having the same problem, missing channels on 119W and doing factory default and rescanning fixed the issue for most of them. There is no new fix as of yet hopefully next fix will resolve this problem.
