Somebody posted the BICS problem in the last 36hrs! You SHOULD READ the forum before posting. These are test channels that VM is running in former NTHell areas...!

Scrambled - Basically because the channel is NORMALLY a scarmbled one and not a FREE one...! Because u have a box its not scrambled anymore!!

lost boy, don't be quick to shoot people down (we are all learning regardless of how experienced we think we are)
I think a vast majority of people on this forum don't know what the BICS channels are (eveybody doesn't read every post)
when he was referring to where it says scrambled he was saying this was on every channel meaning even the free to air channels.
please lets keep the posts constructive.

To be honest, I think your comments are SPOT ON, I know when I first came on this forum I did a lot of reading and as a NEWBIE I found it hard understanding what some of the Tech. stuf meant,(and still do).

I think it is hard to find some things you want to know, surelly its not to hard to give someone a link to the page they want, if you know where it is.

I was in two minds if I should post a question or not when I fist joined, I am sure that this forum was intended for people to ask questions and to help others, don't get me wrong, I have got help from lots on this site and find it very usefull, it just seems as though (sometimes) the only replies you read are "READ THE POSTS" which I am sure will be putting of some people from posting questions, its a bit like going into lets say B&Q and asking an assistant where can I find a Tap Spanner, and they say "Search the Store".

Any way thats my two pence worth, Thanks to all the guys and galls that have given me and others the help we need!!!!

A LITTLE HELP GOES A LONG WAY
