Try scanning for channels a few times. Use "Scan for more channels" you don't have to go through setup again. It usually finds a few more. I think if there is nothing being broadcast, it doesn't "see" the channel.

The boxing channel was in use about 48hours before hand, only showing the ad for the fight, ProgDVB registered the channel name as "TV Service 1700" this time.

I've never been able to find pay per view stuff (aka naked lady channels) in VMC, although you're right, they shows up perfectly on FireDTV as "Service" channels. Slightly annoying having to move to another program to see if anything good is on late night, but I suppose it stops the kids asking why their "favourite" channel gets some strange entries in the morning!

lol, I get the adult channels - they seem to be listed twice, once with the PIN entry channel that just shows a splash screen, and once with the actual channel.

I get some channel listed as ETVS10 - 16, just flicked through and one a few of them are showing golf, one rugby and the other MotoGP, then one is showing some menu system. Looks like BBC Sport interactive?

I get PPV Sub, and PPV Events.

Non of the buttons on the VMC remote do anything, though. DE did say they were looking at making them work.

when you say adult channels are you refering to adult channel/ playboy and television x or do you get all of them including the 40+ ones with the pay per view splash screens?

Within Media Centre I get three - Television X, Playboy and Adult Channel. If I do a channel search in FireDTV Viewer, I get these 3 and 6-10 others listed as "Service" and a number. There's a few blank "Service" channels and one or two are PPV movies in progress, but there's always about half a dozen ladies channels in there too.
