Latest Channel Lists - Missing Sky1HD,SS1HD,SS2HD

[saratoga48]

This really has me scratching my head so i'm hoping someone can help.

I have the latest firmware, and have tried the latest version of AJsat's list & SatTv5's list. I have deleted all channels, factory reset etc, I have loaded channel lists many times and am conpletely competent in doing so.

The strangest thing is happening however, regardless of which list I am using, I am unable to receive the following channels;

Sky 1 HD
Comedy Central HD
Sky Sports 1 HD
Sky Sports 2 HD
At The Races
Racing UK

Heres where it gets stranger, if I use the listed Sky Sports 1 or 2 (Alternatives) listed at the bottom of both AJsat & SatTv5's lists they clear fine, also if I remove any list and do a blind scan, I can find versions of the channels that work - with the exception of Racing UK which appears to only have one option, which won't clear.

It 'appears' that all the channels have adequete signal strength 76%+, and 85%+ on a few - so all normal there.

I'm getting all the movies fine, all the sports etc etc, it doesn't appear to be an entitlment issue with the servers card as surely I wouldn't be able to clear the channels using alternate frequencies... and although it seems like a frequency change issue, surely others would be complaining if the latest versions of the lists were not pointing at the right freq for Sky 1 HD & Sky Sports etc...

I'm using a Skybox F5s if it's of any help (anticipating many "it doesnt work because it's crap" comments - but its worked fine for me for months and does everything I want it to... Until now.

Help please, I am well & truly stumped.

Hi thanks, I have already tried the original and your updated version yesterday, but to no avail.

that's weird as i have just tested them both on my f5s and all working fine,which way did you flash the new firmware

[saratoga48]

Using latest firmware direct from skybox.cc, have been using for months with no issues - updated via USB.

Still the same problem - this is really strange!

r u hard wired or wifi

[saratoga48]

Hard wired, and networking is my job - I'm cisco CCNA certified... It's not a connectivity issue

I had similar issues but mark9271 updated list helped me... There seems to be something very odd happening at the moment

I think the F3s,F5s seem to have issues with certain channels don't know if its hardware related or firmware notably babytv, geo tv, sony max coul this be related to that.

[mark9271]

ok i just reverted back to old software on the f5s and put 2 channel list back on to test and all r working 100% and as i never dump or do backups onto my usb, i think when you do this files get corrupt as it dumps them onto ur usb but that's just my opinion,if when i do revert back or do upgrades i delete all manually and flash box

Thank you for your suggestions.

I have now resolved the issue myself. Incase anybody else should be experiencing the same problem, what I found in the end was that the Mgcamd plugin in the latest version of the firmware seems to have issues with the Newcamd protocol.

If like me you are an N line user (newcamd), simply remove your line from Mgcamd, and use the Cccam plug, switching the protocol selection to newcamd.

Problem solved.
