But shouldn't I still get the freeview channels?

You will get nothing. When vermin started rolling out new encryption (Leeds area 1st)it stopped non vermin boxes from decoding channel data. If you paid a sub you would get the free to air channels but only with a genuine vermin box and new card in Leeds.

Thanx for responding.

Its no longer a happy christmas for me.

I guess I'll have to stick to the s*ite ITV air, i.e Mary bloody Poppins (for a change).

To install the firmware correctly you need to put it on the pen drive with the box switched off and then switch it on so it boots up into the installation mode. On the display on the front of the box it should show some sort of progress meter then when the cable box loads you can remove the pendrive.
If you have already done that make sure all your channels are freshly scanned to ensure there's no problems. Once you've done that, load up a premium channel such as Sky sports 1 and it will say scrambled channel for about a minute or so and then it will load up. It is just obtaining the keydata.
I have exactly the same box and what I said works like a charm everytime. If you are still having trouble with it then i'm not sure what else you can try.
I've tried to be as exact as I can without actually using my box so I hope that can help you.

You can try selling it on via fleabay. One went today for ?143.00 and it was 5 months old. Some people are thinking if they get more than 3 months out of it they are in front.

If you want Sly HD you will have to subscribe. I cannot believe how many people believe this box gives them Sly HD. Furthermore you will find that a lot of channels broadcast on HD channels on cable and sly are not HD. on channel 4 hollyoaks is but a lot of other stuff is not. Same with ESPN not all footie matches are HD on ESPN, on Sly they are.. If you look at some of my early posts I was saying I could not tell differance between pic on ex7000hd I had and max v displayed on split screen. Reason is simples there was no differance.

You will not get any Sly HD channels on ex7000hd. When virmin start transmitting sly HD next year it will be after nagra3 is in place and there will be no channels never mind HD ones.
