    SV8K Modified TP Jan 2015

    USE WITH CARE!! BACKUP ANY FILES!! READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE USE!! IT WORKS!! IF YOUR SV8000HD IS SHOWING NO SIGNAL ON EVERY SAT, USE THIS AND RESCAN!!

    SV8K TP Update Jan 2015
    C/P Thanks to People that care

    West arc Conus TP update for SV8K accurate as of Jan 22 2015
    Only these sats have been updated 82 91 110 118.7 119 & 129


    There are now 3 transponders on western arc sats that will no longer scan correctly with SV8K
    The channels that can no longer scan on the 3 problem transponders are built into this TP update file


    Follow these instructions & warning notes for this TP update file or it will not work correctly for you.


    Step 1
    A. First make an unscanned channel bin file, you will need it for future rescans. BEFORE YOU LOAD THIS FILE BACK UP YOUR EXISTING CHANNEL FILE. GENERALLY YOU WILL HAVE THE OPTION TO CREATE THIS FILE USING THE RED BUTTON ONCE YOU LOAD YOUR USB DRIVE (IT SHOULD SAY "UPLOAD CHANNEL"). PRESS THE RED BUTTON IT OPENS A BOX THEN SAVE ANY NAME FOR THE FILE. A SECOND FILE IS SAVED TO YOUR FLASH DRIVE.

    B. Load this tp update file onto your SV8K USING A USB FLASH DRIVE (not the second file you created), LIKE YOU WOULD ANY OTHER BIN FILE. GO TO STEP 2.


    Step 2
    UNDER USER OPTIONS(Under the Settings Column):
    1.Turn OFF Auto Roll (Line 1)
    2.Turn OFF Auto TP Update (Line 2)
    3.Turn ON Standby EPG (Line 7)
    4.Set all SID sort options to ON (Lines 3-5 in that same column)

    BEFORE YOU SCAN ANY SATS, MAKE SURE THE Network Search Option is set to OFF UNDER DISH SETTINGS

    NEXT select each individual Sat to scan (110,118,119,129 order doesn't matter)

    First Scan click no to save on each, then scan again & save. (in other words Scan Each Sat Twice)!!!


    If ever you need to reload your old channel to rescan, load the saved file you made in Step 1 on your box, it will delete all channels except for the built in channels that cant be scanned & it will retain all your dish settings ready for your fresh scan.


    Important warning notes :
    (1) DO NOT import your scanned channel list into channel master for post editing, that would cause the built channels on the 3 problem tp's to stop working
    (2) NEVER factory reset your box at any time or delete any sat to rescan as doing that would also cause the built in channels to stop working
    (3) NEVER turn on auto tp update .... it will corrupt this file
    (4) IF YOU DID NOT FOLLOW THE SCAN PROCEDURE AND SCANNED with NETWORK SEARCH ON by mistake you will have to start all over again from step 1
    its easy to tell if you did make that mistake, 119 & 129 have 16 tp's, 110 has 19 tp's
    if you have more after scanning you have scanned with network search ON!! IF your tp's match mine you had success.

    Good Luck!!
