    Guys, Im pulling my hair out right now with my 1080, I want to "Factory reset" it back to a blank plate, and start fresh, but doing it from the EZ-scan software doesnt do it, and resetting the scanlists only affect the scanlists themselves, I have tried simply deleting everything on the SD card...

    And what thickness of doubler would you recommend for the dual band VHF/UHF antenna? I think the monobanders would probably be ok on their own. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    12 Explorer Install

    I wholeheartedly agree on the "Take your time and do it right" part, i have been planning this install for over a year, and since the console is still 2-3 weeks out from Havis, i have plenty of time to work out the details, and i also wholeheartedly agree on the "not using the cheap junk" i have...
