    If your in Keighley its odds on that it is telewest.

    Have you got the cable feed in the top socket as the bottom one is just a through slot?

    The alternative is to scan on the one that gets most channels and leave the box in standby overnight.

      Thanks for all the suggestions guys I am trying everyone.
      I get other channels so I know its working. Sports 1, 3 and 4 now I'm missing 2 and sports news. Movies have come back but says bad signal it no signal..

      It's a weird one coz I had movies before, and sports 1, 2,3 and 4. was missing news... I get lots of hd channels, just got sports 1 and 2 in hd. Never had those on the list before. I'm using Leeds Id at the mo. Have been since I got it. It brings up different channels all the time.

        Its a straight connection from the router, so connection is ok. Not sure its the feed as I get the channels its just tempremental, think I got a female box if there was such a thing . And its on its time of the month.

          Press INFO when on working channel & see what signal levels
          are. Remove any splitters while scanning. When you are using
          correct NET-ID channs. will be in correct order;bbc1,bbc2,itv,etc.
          Make sure all TV cable connections are tightened

            Funny enough you get the channels through the out side and it solves strong signal problems.

                I'm inclined to agree.

                    If your getting all the channels, first check if BBC1, 2 are working. If they are then all thats wrong is your not getting the internet connection through.

                    If you did a software update and let it complete you will have the latest software on the box.

                            Are they all clearing the encryption?

                                maybe having a cleaner tighter connection has done some good then. great news you got it up and running,no harm dropping back and reading other posts to see more info and might be able to help someone else also.

                                just use the thanks button.
