Problems with MPEG-4 Tp channels

[ftanut]

Why are MPEG-4 channels so hard to obtain, is there a receiver that is able to show them without a problem?.

I am using the X2 premium as well as the microhd, and both of the receivers do not let the channels show. Have tried to blind scan, single Tp, everything possible with no good results.

Any information or advice is welcomed.

What satellites and what size dish are you using?

[ftanut]

Using a three foot dish for Ku, and trying to obtain 124.9W (AMC 21), Tp 12180 V 30000.

I'm having no issues scanning this tp in, what's your location:

9750

[ftanut]

North of New Orleans, Louisiana. Also came across Tp 11800 H 3000 of 89W...Tp 12080 H 25635 of 113W. This only applies to the foremention classified MPEG-4 channels, or half of some of the Tp with different channel classification. That seems strange than in the same Tp, only the MPEG-4 channels are not coming in.

That's odd because there are many ku mpeg-4 tp on our arc. Have you tried the NBC tp on Amc 1?

11760
11840
11880 H 30000
1080i
mpeg-4

I have had some trouble with the 12180 transponder on 125w. The dish has to be absolutely dead on for me to get it. Double check your skew and depth.

Which X2 are you suing?? II or III?? Are you using the latest firmware??

X2 premium is the receiver.

[cpr43]

There are 3 different X2 Premium models. All 3 models have gone thru several firmwares updates. Some updates were released toward the help of scanning TPs including combinations of SD & Mpeg4 mixed. The very original X2 premium One has numerous bugs, followed by the second released with blue lights which most of the bugs were taken care and now III. We worked to fix the original firmware release for the III which was having problems scanning SD/Mpeg4 combinations in the PR/VI mux on 99W.

I am using a X2 Premium that is about a year old, using the January 25,2014, don't know what specific model of the X2 Premium this one is. I was not aware that there were 3 different models of the X2 Premium. Is there a later software issued for the X2 Premium?.

Did more scanning not much progress. Maybe need to readjust the dish.

once v3 came out they stopped supporting the older two

If yours with Amber (yellow) led light in front is Premium I. If yours with aqua or blue lights on the led in front then is Premium II. Here is the files section for the I and II. They both share same firmware. Channel Editor are diferent. If you have Premium I you need to use older channel editors. I have read some people roll over to older firmware to solve some specific bugs within their system. So you could try going back and see if is better for you.

I am confused. Which transponder gives you half of the channels?

[ftanut]

my X2 front LEDs are blue, which makes it a Premium II. Trying to find the two TPs that have the dual designation, or codes, will keep on searching.

It is a shame that there is no more support for the first two model of the X2...As mentioned earlier on this thread, might have to rework or realign the dish in order to view the MPEG-4 Tp, because after doing some more scanning, there are also some Tp that are missing as well.

[el bandido]

More support for the Premium 2? What do you need? I have not seen a feature request for the Premium 2 in a very long time.

The Premium 2 and the Micro HD should receive the MPEG-4 video format.
Let me know if you find a transponder that only gets the other channels besides the MPEG-4 channels using the Premium 2.

[dr.zin]

it loses the time/date when shut off,making timer recordings impossible.
I believe it started with the 1st firmware that had the 12/24 option for the clock.
I don't use the ethernet port so the receiver must keep good time via gmt usage.
