    hi all,
    hope you are all well.
    i must admit to a big mistake.my old eurovox was working fine,until i had the bright! idea of conducting a powerscan.
    confidently set the box to powerscan and lost all the bloody channels!.the wife hasnt stopped laughing,the kids are looking at me with a "what a twat" face.

    any ideas why the box powerscanned and lost all channels?

    cheers lads

    depends where u are, in the UK a lot of places are down, some not mentioned on the the VM service page as being down. I take it that all the cables are in and not pulled out, factory reset, rescan on yer provider and see what comes in

    sorry just to add, guys ya need to start checking the VM service page for probs in yer areas, should be yer first port of call. The service in the UK the last few days has been up and down like a porn stars ass.

    Leeds is down again and so is surrounding areas.

    hi mickah,thanks for the reply.
    ive checked all leads and connections.it does list all the channels when its scanning,but the scan is over it just says"service unknown"

    it's an old blue eurovox,perhaps its had its day.i really wanted it to last until n3 took over though.
    any over thoughts?
    cheers
