PLEASE HELP ME FOR I AM HOPELESSLY LOST.
i HAVE DOWLOADED AND FLASHED THE LATEST BIN FILE, SCANNED THE TWO SATTELITES (110 & 119). DID A BLIND SCAN, CHANGED THE SETTING ON THE DISQ SWITCHES, AND STILL I KEEP GETTING THE SAME MESSAGE.
i GET THE CHANNEL GUIDE BUT I CANNOT WATCH ANY OF THE CHANNELS.

First make sure that you have your disecq switch set to match your antenna setup in your STB. IE 119 position 1, 110 position 2. 22khz off lnb power on freq 11.250 You should be good to go then. If having a problem scanning, you might want to DL a channel list for your area. Just make sure it is current with all the TP changes last week. Good luck.

This did not fix the problem. I just don't know what else to do.
I have read and read and read but I can't seem to find the solution to this problem.:(

This is What I did with remote control:
Press Menu, then
Press Installation, the password is "0 0 0 0" four ceroes.
Press Antenna Setup.
Then on Satellite list I pick the one that have better "Level" and "Quality"
The one I selected are: Echo 4/KU, and ECHO 1.2Ku

For ECHO 4/KU "LNB Type" = Standar, "LNB Local-Freq." = 11250
and DisCeqc #2.

For ECHO 1.2 LNB Standar, freq same, and DiSEqC# 1,

Then do a Blind Scan.
I did this and I am watching tv.
good luck

guys thanks for the help. the problem was in my bin file. I had inadavertently loaded the 114 file instead of the 118 bin file.::no: Then i had a hard time finding how to access the "cass" menu. The directions to get to the menu were not clearly outlined.:wacko:
Anyway, it is all fixed now.
I am watching tv.:wow:

It might still working, but you should load it with 118 bin file, it has N2 keys ready feature.

Select your satelites in setup and blind scan them than the parental control will be able to be selected it should anyways.
