Works fine on my Merc II. Try changing channels and then come back to it, sometimes it thinks its encrypted if you select it before the motor locks into place(shows encrypt icon in channel list) but really isn't...
Well I'm not motorized but I done a factory reset and I do have Russia Today back. The only thing that I might have done wrong is I need to delete transponder 12152 due to the freezing and locking up going on with the Merc II. Would somebody kindly tell me how to correctly delete that transponder. The manual is not too good on this.
Nevermind everything seems to be working ok after the factory reset. Im sure it was operator
error. I now understand why they recommend a fixed dish first to get used to the receiver.
