        Same problem in Huddersfield. I now have sveral duplicates in all services? Think I will wait and see if they clear, if not I will rescan later. I hope it is just a glitch like in West Midlands, we will see.

            suspect issue is related to the Kirklees area (Huddersfield, Dewsbury, Batley, Mirfield)

                  When V introduced the 1841 (ie what's being called N3) stream alongside 1800 (ie N1) a few months ago in my area V1.7 stopped working for me on my SV4 and I had to switch to V1.12.

                  It might be an idea in the affected area (Kirklees bythe sounds of it) asking someone with a linux box if they would check to see what streams are running on encrypted channels in that area.

                  If 1841 has been introduced it may be messing with the working of firmware on some boxes.

                      I'm running DK1.1 and after several scans have got most channels back, however I do have lots of duplicates so something has changed ie channel numbers etc.
                      Still not got SS1 yet but working on it.

                        Are all pay channels over there just running 1800 in the stream and not 1841?

                            That's not the best news. I suspected it was this from the problems you've been having.

                            1841 is the N3 stream and your area could well be next I'm afraid. When they take away 1800 (N1) it's bye bye SS1 etc.

                            You may not get SS1 back with your current image and may have to investigate using another that works for you.
