Rocket not turning on channels

[cat977k]

Hi everyone Hope someone can help. I'm not to hep on IPTV but here goes. I just purchased a rocket & got my mag 254 finally to load it brings up all the channel list HBO's, Showtimes, ect. but there's never a picture to come on. Now I can go to the Adult channels, and they turn on. Also all of the VOD'S get listed, but it wont let you download and watch any of them. Does anyone have this problem. Is there something I'm missing? Looks like if you get all the darn porno's, to come in the rest should also?????? Thanks ahead for any advise.

Have you linked your MAC address?

I thought That my MAC address was linked with my Donation. I had to submit it when I ordered my Rocket. Right? or is there something I'm not doing? Thanks Rccm112

your MAC is linked, otherwise you would not get any channels or even a program guide.
You would never get connected to the server to see a guide or see any amount of channels, without a linked MAC.
So no worries there

Thanks crazed 2.0 Thats what I thought. So all the Dish Channels are not watchable yet Right? Is there any channels the EPG listed working? I ordered another Mag Box, just in case mine was Def. Probably will order a second Rocket for it, as I have a second T5 for the IKS., If it turns out the same, then I'll know I did everything right. Thanks again.

cat977k best always use no first person when using providers names, but The channels are shifting a little, and they seem to be working on the lineups so it is just as it always is with ANY type of server related tv when you have a high load, when you have a stream problem, when you have a programming change, when you have any of a myriad of minor problems there will be service interruptions. If you have a rainstorm with a sat provider in an area where you use a sat link to collect the data stream for some channels there will be a service interruption on those channels, I you use a particular ground line node to collect some channels and the power is cut, or the load on that node is high you will have channel interruptions. When everyone has problems with some channels there are lots of reasons why groups of channels go down that are no fault whatsoever of the service provider.
