Possible Fun card corrupt? - Techwatch: Satellite TV forums, FTA, Cable, Hardware, & Tech forums

-jAk- · 06-10-07, 06:00 PM

Ok guys, i have to admit. Am a complete newbie and need some help.

When viewing locked channels, it shows me a blank page. Now i haven't programmed this card and as far i can tell its a Fun Card (4th Gen).

From the settings, Technical Stuff is showing the following
(306) LKG Frequency Updated
(266) NVRAM CA Bad CRC
(341) VEC fail
(16) Tuning parameters corrupt

I've contacted the seller and advises me to seek help from here, so anybody know why i can't view locked channels. BTW I can view BBC1, BBC2, ITV. Channel 4 and 5. Freebies channels

I was the seller back in April - IIRC, the A/U method changed in May or July, in which case it will need a different Flash in the card.

I thought you were getting some error messages on screen and no channels at all?

Yes, when i originally told you i had this problem, i followed your advice and was surprised the amount of information on this forum helped me solved these problems i had. (very handy search tool)

Unfortunately now i get blank screen when trying to view the locked channels and suspect that the card itself may have corrupt. Rather me buying a programmer , i thought it would be cheaper to get somebody who can do this for me without the hassle , as i have the keys needed because i was emailed with this information. I'll be happy to cover a small charge for the time spend programming the card.

So its the question of who's happy to re-programmed the fun card for me, only takes first class stamp to return the card or i could get a new replacement fun card. Which ever is better?

Thanks for reading....
