Hello all, got a problem with my MaxV which I can't seem to sort out.
Couple of days ago I lost a few sports channels, CelticTV, Setanta 1, Sky Sports2 & Extra, as you might have guessed it's Sports I watch mostly.

I did a channel update but to no avail, so I wiped the channels and did a full power scan and I went from 32 transponders to 26, with several more channels missing, down from about 224 to 156. Symbol Rate is 6.952.

I unplugged and then went through a Factory reset etc and got a few channels back but i've only been able to pick up more channels by doing a manual scan and am still missing Setanta 1 and CelticTV.

Still registering 26 transponders.

Where can I get a comprehensive list of Frequencies? I've downloaded one from August from a previous post but these may not be applicable for my area (North West England).

Suggestions please?

I've got the following on my System Info:

DVB-XC Box V TDA
1.0 STC4 Oct 15 2007
2.0t K5
v001
KURO

Hiya mate
yes it's strange as i've followed all what I think are the usual methods to obtain the maximum channels but i'm definately short of a good few and down on the typical numbers of transponders available.

Unless those transponders are off for some reason.

My next step was to refer back to the installed software my box came with (July 07 I think) but the Kuro Oct 15th version hasn't given me any problems up to now and I don't think it's the cause of what's happening now either.

Thanks for your reply, i'll keep watching in case one of our "techies" is able to shed any light on things, but it would be helpful if I could get the frequency for Setanta 1 for the weekend!!

reflash your box with the latest kuro w/s beta 2 firmware and try again...
