    In all honesty you are losing me now? The file I have uploaded is the firmware bin file.

    OK make sure that your keycode is on. If it stays black for over two minutes. Switch off from the back switch for a minute, then switch back on and make sure keycode is on.

    Did all channels scan in?

    What does it say in system info please? Are you sure your powerinserter is plugged in? Where are you an approximate location will do just to double check your provider.

    ive put the beta on a few of my mates boxes wich are brand new and they were missing adult and 2 other chanells but on my box and my next door neighbour's we have our box since x.mass so we already had the adult ch so when i put the new firmware on mine i did not have to do a scan as the ch were already there
    if you have your box before they went off around x.mass you already had all the chanells
    but the new fix on a new box did'nt give the adult ch

    Thanks ;) Can you get RTE1 on the box as that is FTA?

    BTW totally off topic but Michael Jackson has just died. Thought I would tell you seeing as you cannot see the TV.

    I'm still lost on the power inserter part, sorry? Is it part of the tv? Or the box?!

    There was a PID change on the adult channels as well as a shift from the 1800 stream to 1801. The Beta firmware has sorted all this for now. If you do a factory reset and rescan with the Beta firmware you will get all channels. It even works without a rescan but is not recommended to do so.

    Just heard about Wacko Jacko, I can still watch the 'normal' channels through the n*l box.

    Just went to check it RTE is coming in and it's not actually on the list of channels. We lost the RTEs months ago when all the other channels were working fine, were never too bothered cos it was only RTE!

    If you are on MMDS you will have a black box beside the TV plugged into a socket as said earlier. Can you get RTE1?

    This is my set up: I have a wire coming from the wall into the back of my n*l DVR box, ordinarily that is connected straight to my tv but I have the Starview box in between those two now. No black box?

    Just replace the cable going into the DVR into the cable in socket on the back of the SV4. What makes you say you are on MMDS, do you have a mesh type dish/aerial on your roof?

    I will ask again do you get RTE1 :)

    Yeah have the aerial on the roof, its a new house and only MMDS available here. I'll tell you again (lol!) the RTE's aren't coming in. They're not on the list of channels. Sometimes they come in, sometimes they don't, that's been the way for months before the boxes finished.

    Thanks for all your help. I'm going to have to leave it for tonight, passed my bed time an' all that! I'll give it another go tommorow. Thanks again ;-)

    No problem. All I can say is recheck all your cabling as everything else you have done is spot on ;)

    If you cannot get RTE its a cabling problem. But you should have a powerinsertor, it may be elsewhere in the house take a look you will find it. Also check for any splitters as the may be faulty or disconnected.

    Goodnight :)
