Default channel not available

its been noted that in the past vurgin or the gremlins have been able to turn off the cams on some dboxes... esp 1x boxes ive noticed.
turnign the cam back on fixes the channel not available message in these cases.

regards dave

Calm down folks, no need to get nasty.

If you put a D-Box onto an empty channel, the EMU will likely crash requiring either a re-boot or Cam restart. This is not an attack by VM but could easily be mistaken for one.

Thanks lincsat...........as you know we are all well aware of your point of fact..............however, to say gremlins are the cause of any particular issue is, quite frankly.............nonsense !!!!!
