Point your antenna at AMC-1/Ku (103W) and do a 'Smart Scan'. In the list of found channels you should find one called 'MS20'. Select that and tell me what you see.
 
I get a black screen. Was something there earlier? 11942V SR20,000
It crashed my receiver requiring a hard power cycle to recover. It would then boot up and immediately crash again. It finally occurred to me to disconnect the antenna, boot up, and move off the channel. I tried a dozen times at least with the same results. I've scanned most satellites visible to me and this is the first time I've seen this. No big deal, I was just curious of it was just my receiver, or 9200's in general.

Question: Do you have Pansat's DVB-S2 kit installed? I wonder if that has something to do with it. Also what firmware version are you running?
 
Sorry, didn't mean to blow your survey, don't have a 9200 at all, just curious what you had found. I haven't had that problem come up yet though with any of my receivers on any channel.
It's a curious event. That shows Nagravision encryption on that channel, maybe that had something to do with your crash.

I also have a 9200HD. I recently repointed my 1.2m dish to AMC5 @ 79 west, to see hurricane feeds, and during a blind scan, it caught several "TV480, TV 499, TV 101" etc, with very low quality levels. If I channeled past any of those the box would lock-up, and then suddenly jump ahead, all at once, as many channels as the # of times I hit the channel button to move! :eek: Turns out it was "bleedover" from Dish Network's 72.7 bird, (just over 1 degree away) so the Nagravision must have something to do with the strange behavior.

Can a Primestar dish go bad?
