No problem, for Seta**a 1 if it is still showing up in your channel list but you get no picture or sound, just delete it do an autoscan and it should appear at the end of your channel list. Also check all channels named TV***, (where *** indicates a number).

yes satsmo is correct check the more obscure like tv**** numbers may just need renamed.

lookinmg at your info you should update firware to 4.54

4.54 has proved to be quite buggy, 4.51 is quite stable, so if it aint broke dont try to fix it.
