    Came home today to find that my starview box has the "no signal message" i've tried autoscan an factory reset a number of times but its only manaaged to pick up 7 channels. It wont even pick up BBC or ITV anyone any ideas? All leads are firmly plugged in aswell.

    Try this :
    menu > 1570
    Turn "key emu" on
    Go to set default key > press ok
    Exit out to s*y sports & let it update.

    Thanks, tried that already although i dont have sky sports at the minute since i deleted the channels doing the factory reset. Its strange that it keeps picking up between 3 and 7 channels each time i scan so there must be some life left!!I've tried everything though.

    Well then its either a cable company fault or a loose connection at your end.

    Both mine and my mates have both got the no signal message. If its a cable company fault what happens then? will they come back on, i was thinking now that the footy is back ntl have wiped the boxes.

    Then its a CC fault if not only has your VM box gone down but so has you neighbours. So it should come back when fault is resolved there have been a number of VM problems in recent days.
