Default Invalid smartcard..?

Hi

Just reprogrammed my fc with the latest fix (AU Fix 28/11 by uk rules ok). I appear to have all channels again although I now get the 'invalid smartcard' message whenever I change channels.

The channel appears straight away and if I press ok the message disappears so not a major problem but just a little annoying.

Anyone else had the same problem or can have advise on how to stop the message appearing?

Cheers.

Then it's not that as that's what I did. Could it be a problem with the fix for c*w or should it not make a difference where I am?

red-d can only certain letters be used in the cam id along with 0 to 9. If so maybe they are using letters that arnt allowed may be?
