Default Movies gone in pure area

Woke up this morning to see Branson has been messing during the night in the Notts area.
Looking at other groups it seems that he has been messing all over the country.

I checked channel 401 that simply didn't exsist when I was doing a search but I had some wierd new channels and the PIN function was totally different, I was even given some new porn channels but never tried them or any of he new movie channels.

Foolishly tried a reboot and the format seems to be identical to how I remember it yesterday, pressing the red buttons in the movie channels brings up the please wait while loading but then nothing else happens.

Some people are reporting that they have the channels back even though they never did the nonet mac so I am thinking it might be connected to the mac change we did.

Anyone else having these issues?
I will check with the smaay box that has not been done yet and also speed up the trials of this new enhanced 2100 mac file I have to see if this helps.

I've not been home yet to mess with my box but been at a mates playing with different options to see what works or not.

Tried the following without sucess

1) Made new card on previously unmodified 2100
2) Tried the Dalmation MAC


I might try putting the NONET MAC on a previously modified box to see what happens but suspect they have got round the MAC modification somehow.

Incidentally the Dalmation MAC did everything I was told to expect so recon it probaly did work until the early hours when Mr Branson had a play around!

Ho Hum I'll download the modified MAC files to the download section when I get home in a bit for others to mess with. We will only sort this out with some form of combined effort. Oh make sure you read the wordpad file attached to each MAC since it alters certain things when you run the MAC.

Hope this helps

Just got home to find they are back on which is cool........but even coolerrrrrr is the Dalmation MAC works and took 2 mins to load using OCD.

RESULT!!!!!!!!!!!

Give me half an hour to take me boots off and have a coffee and I'll upload the MACs to the dowload site.

Nothing has changed on the D-box, so not a channel re-arrange.

Perhaps a conspiracy theory here but I was thinking they might have tried to kill the PIN fix and cut off too many normal customers so had to reverse things. It can't have been related to a power outage since this happened in a time phase manner all over the country.

Anyway just a thought
