Starview 6 working!!

I have recently bought a SV6 and am missing channel 4 +1 and a few others. The channels appear to be all over the place as well not in order like the SV5. I live in South Wales on VM.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Thanks

 

they still can not tell you are using a dodgy box
as far as i can tell

In actual fact Hooter it wouldn't be difficult for the ISP (of both cable & TV) to identify the IP address of the servers & do some simple throttling etc... They may go after the server IP itself rather than the individual customer but it wouldn't be difficult for them.
For complete peace of mind better to have seperate ISP & cable TV provider. Just my tuppenceworth.

 

yip and rumours abound of upc throttling

 

Why wouldn't they?
Makes perfect sense to me.
Doesn't mean I like them tho!

 

they cant go after what they cant find you dont honestly think they use a server within the uk or irelands jurastication give them some credit also they cannot come after the customer either as how would that look i court with the privacy laws they cannot just bring you to court because you are connected to an ip address

 

thats why throttling the server of choice would be a way to go

 

ya they can do that then a 10 second change of ip will sort that

 

Yeah - exactly, a less expensive & method of disrupting service without needing legal representation.

 

if that is the way you are looking at it you are all best off taking a sub out and forget about buying boxes that way you wont have that worry

There has been C/s going thru with satalite for god knows how many years and that has not been a problem so why should this be any different buy airing all this on here you are actually giving them ammunition to use do you not think ??

 

Ah I don't think from my comment re: throttling that any ISP can take anything from it that they didn't already know. They're already doing it according to other sources so I would be careful what I divulge on an open forum but don't think above comment can reveal anything new...

I've no concerns re: c/s - my post was simply to clarify a previous poster.

No foul as far as I can see.
Maybe a warning but deffinately not a yellow ref!!!

 

I seem to have it set-up okay, the channels are scanned, however when I leave it on a non FTA channel it just says 'scramble' and it stays like that.

I have started the procedure from the beginning and it occassionally comes on, then it goes off.

Please help if you can, this is what I have.

Internet cable from n*l wall box (screwable)into splitter and 1 to back of modem, the other screwable cable from splitter to st6 box, internet cable from modem to the back of the st6 box and usb in back of machine.

do you have your cable split for any other tv's in your house?

 

No only main cable is into splitter no other tv's.

 

does it come up with scrambled or not connected or both when it goes off

 

No only main cable is into splitter no other tv's.

 

No Hooter its just a black screen with the word 'scramble' on it.

I really appreciate the time and effort you have taken trying to help me.
