Mercury II & Transponder 12152 on G25

Sorry. It's 1.53

After not being able to receive new frequencies on my Merc II when I did a blind scan, I decided to just trash all of my saved data and start over....

I performed a factory reset and rescanned in all of the satellites that I enjoy receiving programming from, (Galaxy 10, Hisp@30, Galaxy 25, AMC 3, etc.).

It was a timely process that took a half of a day (walking away and coming back) but it solved all of my weirdness problems, until...

I scanned in Galaxy 25. Like it was reported above, the offending Freq is 12152/H !

I deleted Frequency 12152/H and haven't had a bit of a problem in over 12 hours. (I deleted it last evening).

If I do a factory reset again and re-scan in all of my favorite satellites, next time I will write down all of the ones that I want to re-save. That may make it a little easier to put everything back where it was.

I am having a problem retrieving a certain channel on Gal 11 that I had entered in manually, but I am going to keep trying on that one, because I may not have entered it in correctly (4 or 5 times).

In summary, Factory Reset, GOOD! Re-Scan everything to restore to original condition! The Mercury II responds to the remote and does what it is supposed to do now.

Thanks!!

This is off topic but I'm new to this, I wanted to post a question not a reply.
I've had a BUD for the past 25 years and still using it with a 4DTV. 3 years ago I purchased a Pansat and slaved it of my 4DTV but was not impressed with the quantity of free channels and the awkwardness of moving my big 3 meter dish.
I'm in the process of installing a motorized 1 meter dish and trying it again with a Mercury II.
In my surfing of the net I've come across sites talking about quick fixes for the price of a membership. Is this legit?
It reminds me of the days when people got their VCII boards chipped to pirate scrambled C band channels 15 year ago.
I would like more variety, any thoughts out there?
