    Hi,

    I'm in Ireland on C****s and have been having this problem since I got my Eurovox.

    Every channel works fine except for Setanta Sports 1, Setanta Sport 2, and Celtic TV.

    In the case of Setanta Sports 1 and Setanta Sport 2.....I just get a constant 'PLEASE WAIT, CODE BEING UPDATED'

    For Celtic TV, I get a 'PLEASE INSERT SMART CARD'

    This has been happening on/off with all of these channels, and from time to time with Rangers TV also.

    I've noticed that these are all on one transponder, but the other channels on this transponder are working well.

    I've tried almost everything - clearing channel data, factory reset, reflashing, power scan, auto scan, manual scan etc.

    My friend lives a few kilometres away and he's having the exact same problem.

    I'm hoping the fault lies on the other side.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Cheers

    are you sure its not just that the channels are off air sometimes, because the please wait message appears if they are

    No, because when I scan I find two Setanta Sports 1 channels. One of them works, but it's in widescreen, so looks terrible, with black lines down the sides, whereas the other one (proper 4:3) only works from time to time.

    Setanta Sports 2, thankfully, is back today, but it wouldn't work last week, so I guess I just have to hope for the best.

    I'm in Cork if that helps.....

    When I scan:

    I get two Setanta Ireland channels - both work (haven't had a problem with this channel thus far)

    I get two Setanta Sports~1 channels - one works (for now, in a widescreen format) and the other doesn't.

    I get one Setanta Sports 2 channel - it works (at the moment)

    370 MHZ - Setanta Irel.......WORKS
    (I get a duplicate channel with the exact same properties, which also works.)

    282 MHZ - Setanta Sp~1.......ON/OFF (Works at the moment in widescreen)
    386 MHZ - Setanta Sp~1.......ON/OFF (Not working)

    386 MHZ - Setanta Sp~2.......ON/OFF (Works at the moment)

    386 MHZ - Celtic TV.......ON/OFF (Updating code, probably because it's off air?)
    386 MHZ - Rangers TV .......ON/OFF(Updating code, probably because it's off air?)
