Looks like the south has been hit most channels have gone,if i go to section marked all channels most are there but nothing working in entertainment,lifestyle,sports etc.This is on a SV5 on a sammy with rom 11 all seems fine strange why its not touched that box ?
Factory reset seems to cure it for now.

Hears what to do: Factory reset box will reboot select english do a scan then hit menu type in 1570 and waller back on

You will get a new card before the N1 stream is switched off.

so people who think they have been nag3'd either have not!or dont have a gen box!

If you don't have a card then the N1 stream is there and can be unencrypted by current software.

However, the cheapo closed source boxes (eg starviews) are affected by the intro of the 1841 N3 stream alongside N1 prior to N1 switch off. That's why so many people have problems at this stage.

For example, when the N3 stream was introduced my area V1.07 software became unusable and had to be switched to V1.12.

N3 has been introduced to quite a few areas but only in the Leeds area has N1 been withdrawn. When N1 is withdrawn it's game over of course. The withdrawal of N1 will be announced by arrival of a new card on the doormat.
