Cablevision Opensky receiver not working

Hello,

Anybody knows how to rescan the Open Sky receiver?

Cablevision seem to have documentation on select receivers only, despite the fact that their resellers provide a bunch of digital receivers that CV's Tech support don't know about.

I have been a subscriber of Cablevision for some time now, as I wanted to get good quality TV while being a legal subsriber paying my dues on time to a licenced distributor.

I was wondering if I'm the only one out there to suffer from their service and customer service.

Every now and then, all or some channels disappear and then it's long waiting hours to get the channels back, and sometimes for a fee. They say, we're enhacing the service hence need to rescan and reprogram the decoder. Sometimes it's days before I could enjoy my CV again, joggling betweem the CV customer service and the reseller.

Don't know why actually I have to call the reseller although my contract is with Cablevision directly!

Venting it all out, :mad sorry :(

TKX.

Re: Cablevision Opensky receiver not working

Does your receiver support HD? Make sure to have all frequencies scanned, my dish required re-calibration so network search did not work.

Frequencies range:
11720
11760
11800
11840
11880
11920
11960
12000
12040
12080

Well I re-scanned my receiver no new channels found neither HD...same channels as before the scan !
I asked them about when they will add the HD channels .... they as usual said soon ( same answer since February 2011 )

They even don't know what are the upcoming HD channels !! weird !

I added the frequencies and got the channels (same old channels) but the signal quality is half now!! i usually get between 98% and 75% but now the range is between 50% and 70% and the quality is suffering! (blocks, disconnections etc..)

Re: Cablevision Opensky receiver not working

I have faced the same problem, it was solved by changing the LNB (hd) & calibration, and now it's better than before.

Re: Cablevision Opensky receiver not working

So you change the Dish (el 3yn) LNB on the roof? Also, what do you mean by calibration, can it be simply done or do i need to contact support or the dealer?

Btw my receiver is strong 4622X (not HD ready). what model did you get?

Thanks
