    Hi guys, I'm still experienceing the same problem with Setanta, have these channels come back on for anyone?

    With the premiership rapidly approaching I need to have Setanta 1 up and running to see the matches![/quote]
    The 2 channels are where sky movies 9 & 10 used to be. Any service file I have ever posted will have them. I have renamed them on my own and will have the new ones posted shortly, with a lot of extra inactive channels. Some may have wondered why I left all these on, and now you can see why. I reckon they might start doing this more to mess people around, but it also messes paying customers too.

    A new version of sportster was released with gbox, I will give that a try too but it is only 2x at the moment.

    Ok my BER is really high so I need an adjustable attenuator. I tried Maplin at the weekend but they didn't have any.

    Anyone know of any websites where I can get one?

    It depends if your signal is too strong or too weak.
    If the signal is too strong you need an attenuator and if too weak an booster.
    A variable attenuator is also good to fine-tune one of the cheaper boosters. The gain control is mostly not so good at such devices.

    If you got a image without installed emus and keys there is nothing.
    Flash a UK modded image.

    The theme is cable not satellite.
    Sky via satellite is not hacked. If you speak about a sky box I guess you are using a dish.

    if your gona buy one read and read and read agin,because theres everything you need to know on the forums here or you could head to www.techno-source.co.uk

    theres nothing worse then someone who just buys one thinking they wont have to do anything computer involved to the box soo please read

    you are best buying either a starview or a eurovox,both can be bought from ebay.you need to be an ntl customer you dont need ntl digital just regular 16 channel ntl,the boxes wont work with sky digital and no box will decrypt ssky digital.the boxes need to be connected to your computer to upload images to them that update the boxes once in a while you may have to do this ofton or never,depends

    if you have ntl digital cancel your ntl digital and just get the 16 channel ntl,just makes everything easier(and cheaper)

    I did a few scans last night and only UK 6887 worked for me. Got back all the channels (golf, setanta, jetix) and all channels appearred to be perfect. Jetix has got a new frequency, the old golf, setanta and jetix are now called "unused".

    I downloaded the new service file and compared it to my standard one. Some of the frequencies have changed. While before they might be 363500000, now it could be 363000000. All the channels came in at XXX000000, while previously it was 50/50 XXX000000/XXX500000. I had noticed differing frequencies in scans before and usually it resulted in a very jumpy unwatchable picture.

    I only watched for about an hour or so at the new frequencies but had no "blackout pauses" on blade running gbox on my sagem 2x. I am going to try this on my 1x tonight and watch a bit longer. Many have reported blade running perfectly on dodgy sagems so maybe all that was wrong was my frequencies were off a little.

    The downloads are not working on digitalworldz so I cannot get blade trinity V2 yet, nor the sporster with gbox.

    EDIT, downloads are working there now.

    Your cables.xml doesn't has the xxx500000 parts.
    363000000 is the nearest for 363500000 for instance.

    Just checked and you are right, none of my current cables.xml seem to have the 5.
    I think my services file is pretty old, I think it was sadams. Instead of generating new ones, I usually scan and just cut and paste new channels into it, so it still has the old frequencies. Perhaps sadam scanned with a cables containing the 5. here is an example of my services file.

    Sadams file was the only one that worked well for me, people say it is best to scan in your own house, and if that fails try another persons. My scan now seems OK now though so maybe they adjusted something slightly. Is there any way to find out the correct ones via some service mode on a pace box?
