Hi, all channels saying no video or scrambled. I'm in the portsmouth area (just outside - Horndean).
Anyone else experiencing problems?

Try new keys or update the box to an AU image.

Your area could be the next area to go. Rescan first, then reflash. If none of these work, either you have a temporary problem(see if others legitimately in your area cant get TV) or your area is the next area to go down

Cheers, will check when i get in this evening - a legit vermin box was working earlier - did notice that box had an update a week or so ago, so fingers crossed our area hasn't been zapped!

will keep you updated! out of interest - how many other areas are down now? and anyone know of any work arounds/other boxes that can by pass?

there was another thread today with someone from saying their box had gone down, they were in the portsmouth area too.

I\'m not sure of the exact amount but i\'d have to guess at between 40% and 50% of cabled areas have been hit with the dreaded N3

.

newbie1981 · 20-01-10, 02:37 PM

Just an update - rescanned and all channels returned! So looks like N3 hasn't reached me yet!

You'll know when to sell your receiver off lol

Maybe 4% to 5% at a push.

No idea of the numbers of areas that are down. Wouldn't want to be a box retailer at this point in time!
