Problem
Possible Causes Solution
When recording 1 channel
cannot go to some other
channels
Because the SAT101 only has 1 tuner this means you can only look at 1 channel
group at a time (there are two channel groups) so while you are recording 1
channel you can only watch other channels in the same group.
No Channels loaded.
Database is Empty
This means the unit did not have Signal
when a scan was done.
Dish Cable not plugged into LNB in
Faulty LNB or Dish.
After you have had your dish
checked then got to Main
Menu/Installation/Factory Default
and scan again.
How to check your signal and quality levels
Push the info button on your remote twice to display the
screen to the left. Down the bottom right you will see your
signal and quality levels. A normal signal strength is
around 75-100% and a normal signal quality level is
80-100%. If your levels are lower than normal and you are
having problems you will need to get your dish checked
by a satellite technician.
