    Hi people,

    I've had problems getting my channels back eg Setanta 1/2/3, more recently 10 Movie channels disappeared.

    I've done reset, rescan, flashed with laptop from v7 back upto the latest 8.02 and i still get these missing??

    im really stuck and cant work out what i can do - i've been reading threads and things but nothing really works.

    Can anyone suggest a fix and i'll try it out as it's driving me barmy!!!
    oh, im in West London if that matters - also i used to have most the channels up until about xmas - they rolled the codes and after updating and scannin, channels went awol!!

    Thanks in advance.

    No splitters mate. Just straight feed from connection to box. Like I say, the channels used to be there??? Can I update firmware for my box or is that done already when I updated to v8.02e?

    Thanks

    When did that come out mate, any chance u got a link to download?? Is there a way of wiping the box and re-installing firmware, or is that what this is?? I'm getting a little confused!!

    Thanks for your help

    You don't need to wipe your box, when you re-flash with an updated Firmware you overwrite the pre-existing Firmware, and if it it Starview The Box Super, (if that is what it say's top left hand side front of box) then it is the 8.04 you require to update to. It was released 24 Dec 08, and it is in Eamo's FTA library, at the bottom of my post, but here is a direct link ti the Firmware you require >>>>>>

    Cool, I'll try that when I get home. Just really strange how channels slowly disappearing for no reason when they used to be fine. Hopefully this will work, any ideas if it doesn't??

    It will work, when you have updated to the 8.04, just do a Factory Re-Set okay, and a fresh Installation >>

    Press menu and go down to Factory Setting OK - Accept English OK and OK on Installation,
    Select correct provider i.e. NTL, C/W or TW (top right)
    Then automatic scan
    Once the channels are found, exit back to the main Menu
    Enter 1570,
    Go down to the bottom option and turn EMU to ON.
    Now exit 3 times and go to S*y Sports and let it update, or if in Ireland Sly 2 or any with a strong signal.

    Hi,

    I've downloaded and installed 8.04, done a factory reset and re-scanned - i still have the same amount of channels with the same missing channels (even the movie channels that vanished a couple of days ago!!!)

    Any ideas anyone......this thing is driving me potty as i can't work it out!!

    Thanks

    Tanx for the reply, Malci.To be honest, I only use the box for burning digital quality tv from the normal ntl channels. Don't watch movie channels at all really. Even if it's gone for good, Eye would never buy sky....nowt but rubbish 'n' any movie they show of interest Eye have seen already, months and sometimes a year b4. Eye got a good memory 'n' don't need to see something 2wice....Killin' the boxes ain'[t gonna get people to pay for that shit.Bye for now, Y'all, happy bunnies for next week......(",)**

    The basic Sky package is cheaper than the basic NTL and its much better quality and you cant beat sky plus
