    Hi
    I have a box which is "the box" I am new to all of this so I don't know whether I have it scrambled etc.
    Anyway it had stopped working and it now just says no signal or scrambled channel whenever I try to use it. I currently have Dublins N*L.

    Anyone know what codes etc I need to fix it. Thanks

    menu > 1570
    Turn "key emu" On
    Go to set default key > press ok
    Exit to s*y sports & let it update.

    When you set the default key, exit to s*y sports & wait for it to start updating, This can take a few mins.
    Dont worry about the "wait for saving" msg when you press ok on the default key.

    Turn the b0x off at the back for a minute, then turn back on & try the set default key & s*y sports again.

    As it turns out my little brother admitted to rearranging wires to get his xbox working, thanks very much for your help though.

    one more question though, some of the channels like s*y one have always said scrambled channel and have never worked on the box. do you know how I could programme them in?

    thanks

    Note the freq that the scrambled channels are on, Delete them & do a manual scan on the freqs. You`ll find them at the end of your chann3l list.
    And keep the little brother away from the b0x LOL.
