              just rebooted within software i will try a cut power reboot now. but no joy, i have just looked at the signal stength and its at around 42000, the FTA's are around 62000 though.

                your snr should be over 55000 to get a channel...may be worth a reflash if u got a copy of ur modded img

                    right rescan has got me channels back...well some of them i no have loads missing with virtual all sport and movies gone but least it rules out that anythings broken or not working.

                    Are certain channles stronger than others when it comes to the signal, im pressuming they are. Hence why i have now lost a few

                      certain transponders are which means u can struggle to get groups of channels....strange how it was ok though

                        really wierd thing is i havesly movies screen 1 and have a signal of 62,000 . I dont think the signal is anything to do with it as when i unplug the cable for the signal all channels goto 42,000.

                        Really weird
