<\/p>\nBefore starting a scan, verify that the signal meter shows good quality on a known transponder. No scan will succeed without a stable signal. If the signal meter shows zero, work through the physical connection checklist before proceeding.<\/p>\n

If using multiple LNBs or a DiSEqC switch, confirm that the software port assignment matches the physical wiring. An incorrect port causes the scan to look at the wrong satellite, resulting in zero channels found.<\/p>\n
The LNB requires 13V or 18V power from the tuner through the coax cable. If the software reports low power or the LNB appears inactive, the tuner port may be disabled in the software settings. Enable LNB power on the relevant tuner port.<\/p>\n
An old transponder database can cause scans to fail on channels that have moved or changed frequencies. Download a current transponder list for your target satellite and import it before scanning. Some applications update the transponder database automatically.<\/p>\n
If the tuned scan returns no channels, try a blind scan. A blind scan searches the entire frequency range, which takes longer but finds all active transponders regardless of the database accuracy.<\/p>\n
Most satellite TV applications write scan results to a log file. If a scan fails, check the log for specific error codes or the number of transponders found before failure. This information points to the likely cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
