Sky Sports 1 & all 491 channels scrambled - Techwatch Support Forums: Digital & Satellite TV, FTA, Cable, Computers, Mobile Phones, Apple and General Tech Forums

Is anybody else having this problem on the ex1100usb. Sky Sport 1, Sky Sports 2 and the other channels on the 491 frequency are scrambled. A re-scan isn't recovering them.

Does anybody know a fix, or can tell me what the exact frequency is for sky sports 1 & 2 so I can manually change it.

Maybe the 491 frequency has been nagra'd already in the London area?

Cheers for any help.

You got latest firmware?

I'm using the 25th Sept Beta firmware for ex1100usb (I upgraded from the sept 01 firmware fro ex1100usb thinking that it might solve it).

I presume the 25th Sept Beta for ex1100usb is the latest.

Ok, for reference purposes, a 'power scan' cleared the scambled channel and everything is unscrambled. Not sure how long it will last before they scramble again.

Does anyone know how to power scan individual channels?

The problem with a general powers scan is you go back to the start and lose all your previous settings and get back all of those naff channels.

do a manual scan of the tp that you want to scan.. menu/setup/user installation
