hi guys, for some reason my SKY2 channel has gone down. would this be fixed by updating the firmware.. looked at the download page and the latest update (december) has a few problems with EPG. so gonna try september update if its a update issue.. any clue's peeps??

Just do a channel update,the odds are you will get it back ...

cheers m8, having a go now. but tried to flash the december firmware on the box and it didnt pick up the flash file. used a usb harddrive.. also is it worth updating to december?.. cheers bud..

Well if its working ok with the one you have and you are happy with it why bother ?

RORYSON · 05-02-10, 01:27 AM

if i read it right, with the latest update u can get channel info by pressing the exit button twice. at the moment it just says no info. think it would be a great feature. got my 2 channels back that i was missing. s-k-y2 and m-t-v-base.. cheers for that..

Glad you got the channels back

you must have a different box to me (MaxV 2008) as there is a specitic info button on that ..that you need to press twice ...have no knowledge of any other boxes

RORYSON · 05-02-10, 01:47 AM

i had a MaxV 2008 but now upgraded to EX7000 HD+ nice boxes, when i had my MaxV 2008 the epg was set to be 1 hour ahead or sumthing like that to sync the epg, dont know if it has been fixed now. but cheers for your reply bud.. another topic, do u know when nagra3 is getting rolled out in pure area m8. and how are they getting on with a fix for it....!!

My opinion is that no~one and I mean no~one knows just when Nagra will be showered upon us ...or if indeed it ever will ....everything that has been written about it here or anywhere else is just all supposition and scaremongering ....sure they did it in the Leeds area,and who knows what it cost them to do that, but there was a reason Virgin did it there as it was the seat of a lot of problems for them...a lot of the ways to get these boxes was sourced from that area,so they taught them a lesson

....they may or may not apply it over the whole country,who knows, we just have to wait and see, you can read a lot about Nagra getting cracked and as far as I know it has never been up to yet anyway,but just how hard has anyone tried ? history has shown that everything under the sun is eventually crackable if someone wants it hard enough ....as for me I just go with the flow as it were,its no good worrying about it as it hasn't yet happened ...

My thoughts about it are that if/when it happens there may well be a different generation of boxes that come out to get round it,but thats just my thoughts ....like I say we have to wait and see ...it might never happen

good stuff then i guess. i think anythig is up for hacking all it takes is time.. they said that the xbox 360 was un hackable.. like u said, just wait and see.. cya bud..
