Default missing channels open pli

hi lads
just got my dm500s, got it up and running, but im missing channels (about 50) mainly bbc, itv, c4, and a few others like film 4, pick tv, history , bbc news 24, clubland tv , and theres a few others too. most are on 22000 transponder but theres some on the 27500 transponder witch other channels are on witch work fine. my SNR is around 94% my AGC is around 96% and my BER is 0. these figures are for all channels working or not (give or take 1 or 2%) for some diffrent channels. any1 know how i can get them on?
thanks

As I mentioned on your other thread, I think you have a signal problem with the lower frequencies.

Looking at some of the channels, you mention PickTV but not Sky2, they are on the same transponder, does Sky2 work? What about Sky1 Ireland and Sky Atlantic Ireland?

You mentioned in a PM that ITV Yorkshire East doesn't work, that is on a higher frequency, just above Sky Sports2, does that work?

It would be better if you could test the receiver direct to a dish rather than through a communal system. I have come across quite a few systems where the signals are not balanced well.

hi
sky 1 works but sky 2 does not work. Sky1 Ireland and Sky Atlantic Ireland do not work. sky sports 1,2,3,4 all work. if its a signal problem would a signal booster work?? i cant test box anywhere else atm as moved to new area and i dont know any1 round here with a dish atm
edit- itv Yorkshire east does work, thought you asked if itv Yorkshire worked witch does not.
thanks

11.700 would be the transition from low band to high band indicating a signal problem.

Have you got Dreamup configured to use the Network? If Yes, then you need to ensure all the IP's are in the correct range. By "Power-up" it means insert the mains power, not just come out of standby.
