Hey, i have a Eurovox Max 2006. As everyone knows the Movie channels have had their names changed to stuff like "Sky Action, etc since Virgin Media have took over NTL. Now when i try to watch any of them i get a screen saying i need to press the Red button and enter my PIN number. On Eurovox Max their is no way to enter a PIN number, so can anyone help me please???

Karen - do a re-scan - you are seeing the placeholder caption page telling users that the channels are now PIN protected. But, as you are using a Eurovox box, you do not need to even see those pages, ever.

If you do a re-scan - you will pick up the new channels.

Some will be obvious, e.g. Sky Family, Sky Action etc, and some will be listed as TVCh17 or Sky Moder Hid etc.

Any "new" channels found [if on different frequencies], will sutomatically be appended to your full channel list. Usually at the end of your list.

e.g. I have BBC1 on channel 0001, so if I press my down button I goto the "end" of my list. Try that and you may find most of your film channels shown there.

I'm afraid it's just a process of seek and ye shall find.

Hope this helps.

FYI my channels are on the following freqs. [VIRGIN MEDIA]

443.000MHz
Sky FAMILY (24 hours)
Sky COMEDY (24 hours)
Sky ACTION (24 hours)
Sky DRAMA (24 hours)
Sky CLASSICS (24 hours)
Sky SCI-FI/HORROR (16.00 to 04.00 - 12 hours)
Sky INDIE (16.00 to 04.00 -12 hours)

467.000MHz
Sky MODERN (24 hours)
Sky PREMIERE (16.00 to 02.00 - 10 hours)
Sky PREMIERE +1 (17.00 to 03.00 - 10 hours)

All these channels are currently broadcasting at the time of my reply (16:38pm) with the exception of PREMIERE +1 which starts in 20mins.
