Default Some channels "vanished"

They're still in the guide, but just display a black screen rather than "No Signal" in VMC.

Have they been shuffling stuff around in the E Mids?

They could have done, provided its deffinately not your cabling, and in turn a signal issue, try re-scanning.

Also check to see you have the most up to date fix, as this will solve ALOT of problems.

Don't ask me difficult questions, you know it's not that easy to find out

What's weird is the blank screen, rather than "No Signal".

Tried two different bruteforce scans, and Virgin 1 comes up blank on both of them - both with a black screen rather than "No Signal".

Wonder if it's a codec thing? Wonder if they've changed something about that channel. Wonder if I'm clutching at straws.

i have had the same problem for a while on G.O.L.D. +1 just a blank screen. All other channels on that transponder work, as does G.O.L.D. therefore don't think my issue is codec, only this 1 channel. really strange.

couldn't find a recent service file for notts

I might service boot the Pace box... it works on there...

Or, try MediaPortal again.

Service menu says it's on 395000, that's in my transponder list.

Flicking backwards and forwards, I've come to the conclusion that it's there, just not displaying for some reason...
