If you getting channels at all i doubt its a re-flow job as box is logging onto the network. I would check the details you have written to the card , recheck the bk and ird and then check the rights dates on the pink tiers:

use:

Mod date: 1C 21
Begin date: 19 29
Expire: 39 9F
Rights :39 9f

These will last to 2019

Surely he'd still get fta channels regardless of dates etc.

Have you tried to see what you get with the card out mate.

I see what you're saying now ive read it again. Thought he was meaning he was getting none at all.

Had a similar prob myself and it turned out to be the card i was using. I knew that I was doing everything the right way but was not working.

Have you checked that the bk is correct? Could be that.

If you’ve checked the dates like g80878 and they are fine then check the “Rights Identifier, Max Channels” and double check your expire date m8, otherwise use a different image m8, or you can post an image of tier 8 (31) and will have a look at it.
