    Just a quick one,

    I've had my starview box now 8 months with no problems

    Over last couple of weeks it's started dropping channels

    Channel 4, E4, E4+1, Sky 1, Sky 2, MTV no name a few

    They come up as "scrammbled channel/ bad channel"

    So I deleted them and then re-scanned for them but they aren't being found

    Any idea how I get them back?

    HI,

    You will need to do a "factory reset" and then scan the channels back again. Its the only way to get them back.

    I thought that but when I scan at the moment it keeps finding the same 34 channels.

    Could a setting be off when I search channels and thats why it wont find them?

    If I do have to reset back to factory settings, will I have to programme it again or will that just reset all channels?

    It just resets all the channels. You will loose any folders you made, but it has to be done.
