    lost channels, no or bad signal

    For some reason i have lost the signals for some channels since yesterday. Channels like setanta1 now display a message saying no or bad signal. Noone has touched the receiver as i control them. Any ideas? Will a signal booster help? Anything else which would help wil be appreciated.

    I have had this problem on my Starview box, but i simply delete the channel and do a rescan and it comes back. Have you tried this mate?

        Will do. Thanks for the idea but then i will have to make a new channel list. My current channel list is very well sorted. Will i be able to keep it? Thanks for the fast response

          Cant you only delete the 2 channels on that Eurovox you are using? Once deleted do a scan, and i'm sure everything else will stay in place and then just shift the 2 new found channels along to where you want them. I've not used a Eurovox so not too sure how it works. I'm going off my Starview experience mate.

                yea I do the same thing delete the channel then rescan all channels make sure to delete the channel first otherwise you get stuck with loads of the same channels which you have to go through to find the one that works,good luck its easy

                  Is this a software bug?

                        A TP has changed in some areas. What is your general location? Press info button twice on any missing channel and post the frequency please.

                              can you not just delete the ones that are gone and instead of power scanning just go to update the channels instead
