I was using above standard analogue box, split before my digital box,
but now this box has stayed on News24 and nothing changes it.
Any info on resetting to get its original programs? Have 2 of these boxes, same fault. Thanks

Virgin were meant to be turning off analogue signals so that could it but sorry no ideas how to fix it if analogue is still on.

@liebert

m8 these went out with the ark, they aint worth nout these days, especially when analogue is being turned off in near future.

i was reading on another forum that these boxes can still be done.but extremely complicated. i fink u gotta lift a chip and program it with box details then solder back on. not worth it mate coz evry1s wil b goin off soon. i'd recommend either a pace box or samsung box with a rom11 does the job

i used to do these boxes back in the days of the jerrold, and are easy to do, you dont lift chips, they all differ, the ardest was the 550 where a track was cut and two wires soldered each side,
But easy to do in the end. Chip was based on the 12c509 for the hack.

They were days!!!
