UK Users - Nagra 3 - Where we stand - Are you missing chans, A Rescan is all you can DO? and Updated with N3 areas in UK

Only technical interest from me.. I like to follow what is going on so I can tell people who mither me not to waste their time and money on boxes locally..

Cheers for keeping us all updated Mick

 

hi it seems switched on this morning
tried 3 starview boxes from starview 1 ,2 ,5,
all gone of in differant houses in newark notts
all i can say is im sure nag 3 is now here in newark notts
as all free to air channels have all gone well we cant moan
it was good while it lasted but save your boxes
a fix might come u never know

 

Did you try doing a factory reset on your box and do a new scan on your box with NO splitters on your incoming cable that includes your BB as well.

 

when you do a factory reset do you have to reflash the firmware or does it stay the same?
cheers

 

Firmware never changes unless you change it the only thing you are doing is deleting your channels nothing more

 

sorry mate not got back to you but yeh factory reset done channel back on did a factory reset this morning and nothing but at 4 30 toady all back working fine thanks a lot for your assistance and lets hope it stays on just wondering if ntl are changing things so people think all channels have gone off so we dont try and use them
anyway cheers mate bye 4 now very grate fulll cheers

 

dalso any update as to starview 3 did factory reset all channels back but are all over the place just wonderd what to do did a factory reset but still all up and down with the channels nice to see them back though lol any advice much appreciated thaks +

 

i would not bother doing anything with them as they are testing the system now for the intergration of their new N3 encryption which will soon render the boxes usless anyway so i would say that they are going to keep moving the channels around so tomorrow you could be in the same boat again with no channels

 

hi there i am new to this forum, i have a eurovox 5000 and a 7000hd.

both of my boxs now say either no video cable/signal or scrambled channels.

i am new to what is going on with all this n3 thing could someone explain a little on what i am to expext or need to do next as it would be greatly appreciated!!

regards ian reilly

 

sorry i forgot to say i am in leicestershire the boxs went off today around 12am, also what is the card i should get?

 

Im in leic too and all is back to normal (for now) just do factory reset and rescan!

i was gutted when mine went off,i was just gettin into "the first 48" on crime and investigation channel.

Everyone round here is on a major panic now...sly desks will be busy today.lol

 

guys,

this thread is for N3 and to add areas that are being switched, not about whos box is working or what chans are missing, if you have an issue with chans read existing or create a post on it,

 

i am sorry but i did think that it was an n3 problem and as i said i am not very clued up on how or what is to be done.

my appologies

 

Im only repeating what many has said in pages 1 and 2 about factory rescan.
Maybe I shouldnt have added the last couple of sentences then....

 

If you are missing chans and read this thread you will see what is happening, you have a approx till Easter and the boxs will be redundant, some of the older boxs like the replay lite wont work now due to the changes made (thanks to Hi-Teck for the info)some more older boxs may go like this also, there is no fix for these boxs or updates, chans will be moving about and then you will see chans blanking out and wont come back, usually the prime chans like sports, movies, adult etc. Leeds / Harrogate / Yorkshire is a prime example of what happens,

Thanks to Hiteck for updates

 

Ok many thanks so I will expect a new card from virgin soon then my otherboxes will be redundant from Easter? Where will I keep an eye on for the firmware fixes when they appear?

Thanks in advance

 

Received new smartcard this morning Ilford/London area.

 

there wont be any firmware for the boxes

 

What is it that will fix the boxs then? Sorry if I sound dumb but I am quite new to all this

 

nothing can fix the boxes it will either be a sub from your provider or get sky in.

There is no fix for the new encryption and not likely one to be had either.
