    Virmin Media TV sevices went off this morning throughout the UK, they have all been coming back on slowly today, where abouts are you? also have you tried plugging in your contract/sub box to see if thats working?

    do a Factory Default by pressing ,(Menu) pull right to (Config) pull down then (OK) on (Clear Data) enter 0000 for your pin then highlight (factory default) and press-(OK) then (OK) on your symbol rate.
    Now that you have completed the Factory default you can scan for your channels, go back to the (Menu) screen then (installation) and (OK) on (User Installation) again enter 0000 as your pin, Now press the yellow button for (Power Scan) then a box will load,

    Start at 100.000MHz
    Stop at 800.000MHz
    Sym Rate 6952
    Sym rate 0000
    Sym rate 0000
    Step 8

    then ok to scan.

    sounds like your area is still down, is your friend close to you with the working box?

    One last suggestion otherwise its down to your provider try emulation,

    Press menu ok on language settings, type 1968 then emulation will show, make sure this is set to enable then save and exit (the blue button), if that does'nt work just wait for your services to come back on.

    Make sure you have pressed OK on the language settings, aim your remote right at your box then type 1968, it will work, if its already on just try the channels later, they should come back on, best of luck :)

    Have you tried to contact your provider to see if there is any problems in your area, if you cant contact them ask a neighbour to see if their sevices are still working, you have the correct firmware and you are picking up all your channels so its either down to a provider fault or your emulation is turned off, if you follow the instructions above correctly when you press 1968 in language settings emulation will show.
