      your wrong as old coaxial cable loses signal strength and are the new installs using the sat cable which does not lose strength and have better shielding.if you have an old or bad install do you not think you will get problems?

        Box Nation
        Cartoonito
        CITV
        Yep. Apart from Nat Geo Wild, all of the above channels started working again last night without a rescan.

        Nat Geo Wild & all of the +1 channels listed in my earlier post are still not working, even after yet another rescan.

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.
        While that may be a problem for some, in my case it's not a transponder problem this time, as there are channels working perfectly well on the same transponders as the non-working channels listed in my earlier post.

              On large server systems, its common practice to dump repeated (+1) and less popular channels when the card pool comes under stress from circumstances like individual cards going down (which happens suprisingly often). Using this method of dumping and re-allocation helps reduce downtime for some of the more popular channels thus reducing overall fault impact.
