Regardless of what the manuals say.
The IPG should download any time of day or night if you aim the dish
at Galaxy 10 and power down. The only thing that the auto-update does
is move the dish to G0 between 2:00 and 6:00 PM if the receiver is powered
down. There is a routine that the receiver runs during power down that
takes care of things after that. This routine cycles.
If you move the dish to G0 and power down it does not matter what channel
the receiver is tuned to, the powered down routine will look for the IPG
info. If you have a 905/Analog combo and the analog receiver controls the
polarity you must tune the analog receiver to a channel using the correct
polarity. Other than that it does not matter what channel the 905 is tuned
to when you power down, the routine should be able to find the IPG.
The manual probably gives those instructions because most of us relate
better to specific instructions, and as a matter of convenience it is not
productive to go into a discussion of the power down routine.
I have no idea why his receiver is not powering down after the dish moves.
I do not remember anybody ever reporting this problem.
