Skipping channels Normally my 500 dish goes straight through the channels. It skip 4 or 5 channels between each one

call dish

it simply means that channel3 has been set to skip/go to the tuning menu and select manual search.select channel position3 and cancel channel skip function.

Below are some places where you can purchase a symphonic remote control. But if you don't fancy buying one why not tune channel 8 and upwards to the station's that your are after and just forget about the 3,4,5,6,7. My quess is that the tv system is set to skip these channels. If you go to Menu > tv settings, check out the channels that you are skipping, it should be in the installation part of the tv setting's menu. Make sure that where it say's SKIP > OFF on all of the missing channel's.

Hope this is of some help. Bit long winded but hey! :-)

Hughie.

Turn the power off to the receiver and let it run its course. It should download a new program guide at this time. Another thing is to make sure you are on ALL SUB on the guide as opposed to a favorite self created guide.Thanks for using Fix Ya.

Go to the Menu setting, and do a auto channel scan, it will automatically program it to NOT skip 3.

I had that problem 2 my channels disapeared one by one and some will skip yes...

I always use on my remote controll :

1 menu
2 Ch tuning
3 auto

and then wait untill it has found all the channels

I have the EWF2004 emerson TV. I tried a ONE For all universal remote and programmed it for a FUNAI TV code 0179 and it worked!!!!!!

You are right about the auto-programming, but Magnavox no longer has the original remote.

For my answer to be right, you must have posted this question to the EXACT CORRECT model # of your Magnavox TV - 27ms343s:

Press TV on your Verizon remote, and then press "0" and "3"

If that fails:
Press MENU to see the TV’s on-screen
menu. In the menu, use VOL.+/_ and
CH.+/_ to make adjustments or selections.
You can press MENU on either the
remote control or the front of the TV to
access or remove the menu.

try some wd40 spray around timer shaft.but yot may have to replace the timer hope this helps.

Open main menu and select manual program. In this option check skip on/off option is there. Otherwise select autoprogram the channels are automatically stored, after completing autoprogram TV displays program edit option. In that you can choose your needs.
