I have a Technomate 1500CI+.
With the patch I'm using I can't go into standby so the receiver is on all day but at night I pull out the mains plug and plug it back in next morning.
If I scan say 19E I might get 900 tv channels.
Next morning when I plug back in I have maybe 200 so I have to rescan 19E to get the channels back.

Why an I losing the channels ?


I also notice that when I am flicking thru the channels I might come across a channel and then the tv screen goes blank and the front of the receiver window shows FFFF and then the receiver switches back on and once again I've lost most channels on 19E and have to rescan.

Has the patch anything to do with this ????


Thanks.

most likely memory problem: download your channel list to computer
remove all non used satellites
if not used remove radio channels
remove empty and dvb-s2 transponders
check if you have C-band transponders and remove these if no C-band LNB on your system
don't use blindscan if this is on your box
use channel editor (https://www.satpimps.co.uk/showthread.php?t=110802) <= click here to clean the channellist
