thanks mate, it has been doing it for over an hour tried to power it off loads of times and re-boot with no joy.....

but now its working perfectly again...strange!

[sgerrard]

ok it has gone sour again, patchy picture and sound, and signal appears to drop after on channel for a few secs...

is there anything i can do, or is this just the nag3 switch over finally reaching bham?

[ManofScience]

ropey signal isn't N3. it's usually bad connection/faulty box/works in the area.

I live in Manchester and started having similar problems a couple of weeks ago,i still have problems on all the MTV stuff and Discovery but not Discovery + 1,there is also some pixelating on a few others as well as freezing,both Nag 1 and Nag 3 streams are present i think these third party boxes might be struggling a bit.

the end is very near mate.

not quite mate

i'm in north bham, and sly channels were working for me last time i checked (9pm)

don't think new cards have been sent out either, so we have a few weeks left at least

[sgerrard]

thanks, yea im in north birmingham too, any idea's why my "the box" has suddenly lost channels then?

i have done factory reset, re-scan, found sly channels, turned EMU on, but get the "scarmled or bad channel" messege on everything apart from bbc1, 2, itv, channel 4 & 5?...

also a freind of mine who has same box, and lives very local to me, says his channels are still working.....

Which box have you got?

[Meat-Head]

Don't Know if this is any help to you guys or shed the light on anything.

I was in Birmingham on Friday, as i walked into Sminoff_Rules office his computer just crashed, with no reason, he said it has never done that before.

A few hours later user Z786 turned on his computer and his touch screen stopped working, he said it had never done that before, so it's properbly due to my presense there, sorry guy's

Both usres can verify this claim.

[sgerrard]

Which box have you got?

i have a "the box"

API ver: 4.54e_E
boot ver: 7.0

can i try anything else?


EDIT: SORRY FORGIVE MY STUPIDITY, I SUDDENLY REALISED THAT I HAD DONE EVERYTHING APART FROM CHECKING THE LATEST KEYS! ALL IS WORKING AGAIN FOR NOW, THANKS FOR THE HELP...
