    Hello Guys, thanks ever so much, after a few factory re-set and a few scanning and making sure the key code is turned on my channels are back most of it anyway but will check if my discovery channels are up.

    Get the Eurovox, easy to work and good picture quality, get any model you like they are all good.

    Hi,

    In Dublin 2/6 region

    Came home this evening and my channels were all scrambled or bad channel. I did a factory reset, probably too soon, and now I cant find any channels. I recently upgraded to the 4.57 firmware and everything was fine, until now. When the box is searching frequencies the orange bar appears and say its "ok", however no channels appear. It is also only searched 24 frequencies. It used to search 37 if I'm right.

    Is there anything I'm doing wrong.? I thought I pretty handy at this lark, but I'm afraid I'm stumped again!


    My System info is

    The Box

    API Ver 450e_E
    Boot Ver 7.0
    5 july 2007

    Any help woulf be appreciated.

    Cheers

    Hi,

    Thanks for getting back so quick. I'm watching basic channel tv as we speak. There doesn't seem to be a problem.

    lol tell me about it. I am on API Ver 4.57e_E. Just checked. cant get it to update. think it might be a long night going through them all. Don't want to keep you, so this will be my last question. how long should I give each channel for the update before i give up and try another one?

    cheers

    Should be showing V4.57 in System Information, that's the latest for Starview 2 The Box as regards the AU. 22 DEC 2008.

    EDIT:-
    See you have the latest, it is a pain finding the best channel to AU on, have to go through them one by one, Discovery channels even the God channel I am afraid.

    Sorry nobby3ie - as you can see I did edit the post, was in between threads, as said it will update but you need a strong signal Channel, but why not try Setting The Default Key, it might give it a kickstart.
