Lost channels & stuck on data update

[lynden]

sorry again...... after starview scan on ntl it says 142 channels and i can only watch 3 setanta, city,epg ........ there is money sign beside every other station and says (naigra vision)

[satsmo]

And key emu is on right? There was four code changes on N** in Ireland today, just press menu, type 1570 and press default key. Then put it on Sly sports and let it update.

Key emu is on did exactly wat u said...... cant find any stations now not even the 3 i had.....

[satsmo]

Right try this from the direct feed. Press menu and do a factory reset, scan again and turn key emu back on. Put on Sly sports to update.

BTW is this a second hand box?

Satsmo you are the best............ i did exactly what u said i turned on my emu pressed default key... then waited for it to do full scan of 33 freq .... after the scan i had 142 stations... put it on sky sports and it updated so now i have 90 stations as is about right for my area............Thanks so much for putting up with me...... i know wat i was doing wrong i had no patience to wait for the full scan of 33 freq the first 10 failled so i thought it was no good...............

[satsmo]

No problem the TP scan is more suited to the UK and as Ireland has far less you see failed on a lot. Glad to see youre sorted.

90 TV stations is about right for MMDS, some places get less although you may have one or two duplicates.

Hi Satsmo, I have the Box-T in Louth Area in Ireland, I scanned all the channels on and it was working fine. Lately it was freezing on me and the "Updating of Data" was occuring. I decided to delete all channels and update them again, when it updated, no names of channells where on, all numbers, I changed that, but now their are a few channels missing, E!, Nick Jr, sky two, some music channells and Dave, Virgin too.

Can you inform me of how I could get these channels back, Would it be the time of day I downloaded the channels?

Cheers in advance.

[satsmo]

Should have left it, the glitches were purely key changes and the box updating. Turn the box off and on from the back switch. Do a factory reset and rescan again. Make sure to turn your key emu back on also.

I presume your aerial hasn't gone out of alignment and that your power inserter is fine.

Yeah, the aerial is grand, will try the resetting alright, I'll let you know how I get on. So if it does work OK, will the glitches eventually go away or even calm down?

Cheers
