    Do the +1 channels work?

    None of my +1 channels work.
    Does anyone else have this problem?

    Cheers

    Yep. Same here. Nearly all of the +1's plus lots of others. About 30 altogether.

    East London area.

            Yep. Just tried it again.

            17 of the +1 channels are scrambled, and 13 other channels scrambled (that's not including all of the Adult channels).

                  Quite a few of the +1 channels (ITV etc) are regional. That means they require different decryption information dependant on your location. As such its unlikely these will ever work properly in the cardshare environment.

                  Luckily the equivelent 'realtime' channels are mostly unencrypted, so dont have the same problem.

                  For the non regional channels, I imagine the +1's are the first things disabled when card traffic approaches a critical level

                  Personally, I reckon the +1 channels are a waste of bandwidth anyway. They are only there to increase the advertised channel count rather than for customer convenience.

                    I often find the +1 channels useful when flicking through the channels & find that you have just missed something you want to watch.

                    These are my missing +1 channels:-

                          I suggest you rescan your box as these channels are working.

                            You likely have a marginal signal level which borders on failing for a particular transponder frequency. Either the local transponder transmits with a lower signal level (its common for VM to mal-adjust transponder output levels) or you have a cabling problem that causes excessive loss at a particular frequency.

                            Its quite likely even the working transponders are also marginal so you may suffer further problems as temperature/humidity change.
