Got the firmware updated and everything working fine..
Ive been flicking through the channels and have noticied that Men and Motors has gone..(just getting a black screen on 151)
Its been a while since I watched this channel so Im not sure how long its not been working..
So has it gone or has the freq changed?

I still have it in liverpool, freq. 435.00

OK, can you tell me an easy way to manually input the channel freq?

Tried the channel update function and it found M&M but then the auto sort kicked in and wiped my fav list..

Sorry mate haven't got a clue, Have you tried a search for "manual AND frequency". I found this in one of the posts

Menu > Installation > User Installation > Default Pin 0000 > Press Green (CH Edit) > Select a channel Number > Press Blue (Modify) > Enter Frequency > Save

If you find you have a black screen on a channel all u need to do is go to that channel and press info until u get a blue bar across the top which tells u which freq the channel is on. If for example it is on 435.00 as above just go to the menu and on user installation u can see all the TPs you have. So go down the list til u get to 435.00 then click the "ok" button on your remote to put a tick next to that TP and then press the "blue" button to do a manual scan just on that frequency. This will then scan all the channels on that frequency and should hopefully sort the problem out.
