Echostar T-101 FTA
 

We have a 3 year old Echostar T-101 FTA which works perfectly.

However, I've just dug another Echostar T-101 FTA out of a drawer and
carried out a re-tune as it was last used elsewhere and it has found all the
channels, but allocated nothing to positions 1-4.
Five is on position 5 and BBC4 is at 9.

BBC1 is up on 8XX, likewise BBC2, BBC3, ITV1 and CH4. They are not in any
kind of logical sequence. There appears to be no option for manually
allocating positions back to 1,2,3,4.

Is this as a result of the current NIT shenanigans, and if I have to re-tune
the other Echostar will this happen there too?

Cheers.

I think so, see Graham's post in the '1% of freeview...' thread, Aug 13

Looks as if you need to contact Trading Stds Doctor ;-)

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the pointer. I'd not seen any reference to Echostar being
affected. I think I'll email them.
As for Trading Standards, hum.............consumer rights is a bit off topic
for me, but I know several points of reference :-)

I bought it from Tesco, so first port of call there I think after
ascertaining from Echostar that they are the problem.

Cheers
