StarChoice does not carry the 4DTV datastream. I think HITS only carried it on one transponder. I'm not sure which one, but it was the one with channel 401 on it. Perhaps someone near their 4DTV can provide details on the transponder and frequency. If you get the frequncy, you can manually move the dish to XB, use Options-6-778-1 to manually tune in the frequency and get a DC lock. If the datastream is there, you will download the maps. You can perform this same procedure for any DC signal on C or Ku-band as long as you know the frequency. BTW, don't expect to get any video using this manual tune screen.

Ok I got my satellites back, this is what I did...I searched the frequency for channel 401 on X4 and on the net and it was 1150 then I checked which channel had that frequency on the A2 channel map and 501 matched it, so I parked my 30" dish on X4 tuned channel 501 on the A2 map I had, hit guide and enter left "ON" there for the rest of the night....This morning I have channel count 4543 and all satellites maps.
Thank you Mark for your valuable help.
