Should funcards be working to show all all channels?

[Tezza1]

Hello all.
Should a funcard still show all channels on cable?
I did a MOSC and only got a few channels, like the free stuff, Sci-fi, some UK channels and some movie channels. I did some funcard 4 and stll exact same channels? Tried chaos and RST and the ones from bigmaq. I'm on TW pace 4000 di.
Left on overnight still not changed. Some versions I tried say smart card invalid, but still works on those channels.
Very odd that it is always same channels, the keys must be updating OK? Seems to be access rights. Found toxic hex gave error to load to programmer, so opened in nagraedit and resaved as bin and shows as correct 8k size and loads OK.
Anyone having same probs on TW. Im using correct TW files.

I can get sky premier and prem +1, SD1 and SD2, Sky modern, Sci-fi channel, Paramount +1, but not paramount 1 and some others. BOX key and IRD OK.
If other TW funs OK, then its odd????

Have you got a good signal, cable connection ?

[Tezza1]

HI.
Yes all OK an my subbed box and testing on same connection.
Got my files from bigmaqs. Using funprom fun programmer.
Funny that I had only same channels on my MOSC.

Sounds like a problem with the box, whats it say about card in eng menu ?

[Tezza1]

Possibly!
Message for the channels cannot receive is this channel is not available right now.

Eng menu,
Card status cannot decode. Connected, it shows cannot decode for 7 secs, then OK for 7 secs, then please wait 2 seconds, cannot decode 7 seconds, OK 7 seconds etc.
events show 170 - CM Broadcasting fail, but think thats the talk back trying.
Frequency and symbol rate set OK for my area.

Update.
Probably is the box. On my subbed box if I remove the card it says no card inserted and shortly goes blank, on this box it says no card if I remove it and stays on!!! Can turn it off on standby and back on and still gives the channels it can decode like they are the free ones!! Only loses it if I do full power off then needs a card again for a few seconds to decode then can be removed. Sky premiers and some other movie channels and other general channels working so not actually freeview chanels. Shame it doesnt decode all the channels. But an interesting fault, so during code changes etc it should not affect the viewing.
I'll get a new box soon to make sure the cards I used are OK.
