    Try a factory reset & see if that does the trick.
    Menu > Factory setting
    pin > 0000
    ok to delete

    TURN THE BOX OFF AT THE BACK FOR A MINUTE THEN TURN BACK ON

    English > installation
    choose provider
    auto scan
    press ok
    channels found
    exit
    menu > 1570
    turn emu on
    exit exit exit.

    sorry, you already did this (the oul eyes arent what they used to be) lol. Try a manual scan from 290.000 & see if that picks them up.

    thanks noelyf,

    i have already done the factory reset and this brough back the channels but i lost them after 1 - 2 weeks again after the factory reset. After flashing the box which included a factory reset, the same thing happened. So i believe it will solve the problem but it is only a short-term fix and don't want to be doing factory resets every 1 - 2 weeks.

    There was a freq change a few weeks back, thats why you lost them, so another factory reset will get them back. Hopefully there will be no freq change fo a while :)

    thanks noelyf, if there was a freq change, would the manual / automatic scan not pick them up? Really appreciate the help and advice.

    sometimes it wont, you can do one & see, & if not just do the factory reset & you should be sorted.

    hi, did the factory reset and re-scan. The channels on freq 323000 are not lost and will not come up on the re-scan. Guess they are gone and lost. The one i am missing big time is Sky News on this frequency

    If the channels are there & blank, delete them & do an autoscan.
    They should come up at the end of your ch@nnel list.

    hi noelyf, the thing is that that the channels are not there at all. Did the factory rest and the channels did not appear and then did a re-scan. It does detect the freq 322000 but on the re-scan it says failed.

    Make sure you are scanning from the direct feed (b0x on the wall) & not using any splitters.

    Hi. I have the box and the box super. The box is working no problem. I got the box super for a friend also but now all the supplier codes have changed to FFFFFFFFFFFFFF on everything. Both mine and my friends. Took them back to the shop and he rebooted them and said they would now work. Not the case initially anway. Had to go to nagravision on the box and reprogramme all supplier codes and key codes. Is now working so just check that all your codes are still set. Still don't know why or how this happened but fingers crossed I have now sorted it. If anyone has a quicker way of fixing this problem if it does happen again it would be much appreciated. Thanks

    Debbie
