    i have read this forum for an hour and a half and cant find an answer to my problem. i have a starview 3 the box super with the latest firmware on. i am not a newbie to cable boxes. but i have not had this problem. im on telewest on merseyside. channels all come in from 0 to about 50% from 50% to 100% all channels fail. beging to think the box is broke has any1 got a solution.

    how many channels do you get in total, if its not picking them all up, goto factory setting and delete all then scan again

    the cable goes into the cable input on the box

    make sure there is NO SPLITTERS on your cable then scan if you do TW first and you get nothing do it on EXCW still nothing then NTL ok

    where are you based can you tell me

    also are you sure you have a live feed ??

    try plugging the cable direct to tv if you get channels your feed is live if you dont your cable feed is dead ok

    ok if you are getting no channels its either a tuner prob or could be a firmware prob

    try a reflash of the most up to date firmware and see does that work
