im a total newbie, just bought a 2nd hand Starvie the box and after doing several scans i keep getting lots of channels that are called TV1 TV2 TV3 etc

These channels seem to show things like itv shows but when the commercial breaks come there are none and they just run back into the show again.

Some seem to freeze after a few mins

There are also about 28 or so channels called DL1 DL2 DL3 etc but these just seem to be dead channels

can somone explain what these channles are?

enjoy them while you can. you can get boxing etc when its on, also if a neighbour pays for a ppv movie, it can come thro' your box, but if they pause etc, so will you.
i think some are bbci stuff, but not sure about that.
