When I turn off unit, I loose all programmed channels. Have to reboot &amp; reprogram. I keep unit powered all the time to keep channels. Is this normal?

It's not normal as far as I know. My turn mine off and on all the time and never lose my channels.

Turn the switch on the controller AND chopper off. Switch the channel on the remote and then turn both units back on. They should both seek and discover the new channel.

There is no reset. The only thing I can suggest is to do a hard reset,by unplugging unit from the wall and waitting for 30 seconds. and then plugging in back in. If no help call Channel Master.Channel Master 1(877)746-7261

This is Phillip, I really like the 2-- ways When you push and hold the lock key it will beep and from that point on it will not go from one channel to another, it stays on the channel you chose or had it on before you locked it. You can unlock it and change channels whenever you like. It kind of helps you to not have to keep going back to the channel you find works best for you. Hope this helps a little Have a good one Phillip E from Pauls Valley Ok

This all depends on what power source you hook it up to. If it's a constant source it will stay on the same channel. If it's a fuse that shuts off when the car shuts off it will default to ch19 when turned back on. But as long as the car is running and you turn it of and back on it should stay on the same channel. Hope that helps.

Hi, Steven. I Do have to reprogram it when I turn it off and then back on. I use batteries because it didn't come with an adapter.

Just verified with mine, that when I turned it off and then back on, it came back on on the channel that was turned off.

If it gets turned off by the volume knob and still has power going to it it will stay on what ever channel it was left on. If when the car turns off it loses power it will loose the channel

No reprogramming that I'm aware of. I've had 2 power failures since my purchase. Once power was restored everything functioned normally.

I've had the unit for several years with no problems. However, when you switch functions from TV/ Cable to DVD it automatically switches the audio source for you. But, when you switch back, you have to manually reset the Function to TV / Cable. Hope that's all your problem is.

Well, that's that. We received the replacement unit in the mail today. Fantastic reception and display, but no channel memory. You have to rescan all channels every time you turn on the power, whether you use the remote, or the switch on the side. The channel memory is simply defective. So, I am sending back the replacement unit as well. Too bad - if they fixed this design, they'd have the best little TV out there!

Sounds like the limit switch in the antenna motor is defective. You can unplug the power supply at the antenna motor and still be able to use the antenna. Make sure it's in the up position. Check the warranty on your purchased antenna. I personally gave up after 2 replacements did the same thing as yours. I just unplugged it.

Well if I remember correctly you must turn the TV off, then press the on and the mute button together until the tv turns back on, then the channels/volume should work. I sent mine back this week due to it not responding to resetting after several attempts (WITH the instructions that were located on the back of the package)

Not all the channels, although U don't recommand it any more. After a month of using it, it started to hang and delet channels. Then, it never worked back.

No, but mine, which is less than a year old, no longer will maintain time nor station memory. Shut the radio off, and goodbye settings. Aggravating. Boo, Porter Cable! Boo!!!!

I'm not sure if it's same problem I have. It drops off if on "mute" so I just turn the sound way down instead. I have to shut down the TV and the DishTV receiver for a few seconds then turn both back on. otherwise. The sound comes back on. I have been able to just power on the sound using the included remote.

Hi Steve. No, there is no programming available on this unit. I was going to suggest an appliance timer but I think that after the power to the unit was disconnected it would not come on by default when the timer restored power. Hope this helps
