Hello,

I have the old starview 1 box and recently its been taking ages to load on to some channels so i have had to keep going back and forth to certain channels to get the frequency signal thing up for some channels to work!

so today i took drastic actions and factory settings my box clean start...so i thought.. well now i have managed to do 16 scans and got back most channels but still some missing...

im with N** and in hertfordshire just outside london

channel 4
at the races
racing uk

and thats it for the time being..

any help would be great and im sure i can donate somthing to the site!
