Turn off from the back for 10 seconds and turn back on. Have you done a channel scan lately?

which locals are you referring to.?? Ch241-248.?/ East and West Network Locals..???

they have been re-established with San Francisco and Atlanta locals... you need to do some deleting and re-scanning....

east coast locals 9217/9218/ect on 12268.i now fixed it. the way i did it was to delete the echo*** and ehco***.when i set up new sat i made my own like user 3 and user 4 for 119/110,this way i picked up a lot more channles got locals back,the only problem now is no info on epg i tried all the tricks to populat but it did not work,funny thing is i went in and put echo_8_10 andthe signal is in the red ,scroll thru to user 1 and signal is 95 and 87 green,wierd ah.is this possible glitch in bin138

If you have an extra lnb, replace it and see if that is your problem. The other thing may be you are not tunned into the right sat, also check and see if you've selected the sat in the sat set up, it should list all of them which you have selected. Make sure when doing anything with Maggie that you don't leave it turned on

I am getting the same thing: great signal and quality but in the red !!
Could that mean my lnb is dead ?

manteca is correct check every thing.all of your sat settings.when i had the problem i could not fix it,tried every setting i could,changed all the lnbs ect.the only thing that fixed it was a new bin,my problem happened between bin 138 and 140. 140 fixed it.i think it was a glitch in bin for me.
