Echostar HDs 600rs Channel Change by Itself
Hi im on the 123r firmware i have only had the box for just over a week and all of a sudden it has just started to change channels all by itself say im watching bbc 1 it can be ok for say 25 mins then itll jump to more 4 or four 7 then come to a stop on a completely diferent channel say itv2 and just stay there ?
very annoying i have tried a factory reset also i have tried disable the sling settings i disabled evrything still the same i want to try a down grade via usb to 122r but i cant find the file its only 123r on the echosrat website ? Please can some 1 help Cheers also forgot to mention im on a single lnb so im using it in single tuner mode , i also took the batteries out of the remote to see if it was the remote but it still changed over the channel by itself Last edited by ricky006 : 03-10-2012 at 14:09.

Yeah I had this happen to me too, and among a couple of other issues including lock ups while recording and using iplayer I decided enough was enough and took mine back for a refund and am going to get a G2 spec Freesat box instead.

When its happened to me I reset the remote and then switch off and back on and that does cure it for a week or so. Sometimes these designers try to be too clever by half. Here is a simple solution { although it should not be necessary in the first place } that may or may not work on your unit. Re-pairing the remote & HDS-600RS: WITHOUT re-setting everything - Point the remote at the unit - Press & hold down the “right” and “OK” key for Five seconds - LED { on remote control } will flash twice - Unit should now respond to the remote. 123R has made series recordings a lot better although its not 100% accurate so with any luck at some later date they may bring out a new version that irons out some of the bugs. |

Waste of time trying to step back to 122R as you will encounter the same problem.

Your sat there happily watching your favourite program, then all of a sudden it changes to a completely different channel all by itself.

I cannot see how re-pairing the remote & unit is going to solve the OP'a problem as It's not a remote issue that the OP is talking about, it's the random changing of channels that the box does by itself without even touching the remote.
