fewer channels today than yesterday

[coops666]

I got my 2nd hand starview the box yesterday and having follewed the advice in this forum did a scan and got over 200 channels (most of them watchable too) so thanks for the advice i got from this forum.

This morning a lot of the channels were dead so I scanned again and having scanned over and over im only getting about 110 or so

The box is connected without splitter or anything

What has happened and how do i get the total channel count back up?

you might also try on different provider.

i tried that but got even fewer on N*L

i left the box on last night and this morning none of the $ channels are working so i scanned again and now after several scans im down to 104 channels intotal

it seems like the box is forgetting something over a period of time

ive cheked that EMU is on and that the provider keys are the right ones too

do you switch off at mains or via r/c? i always use r/c

it was not switched off, i forgot and left it on just turned the tv off the box was left on the channel we were watching before we went to bed. this morning every channel was saying scrambled or bad channel. i then rescanned it and thats were we ened up with only 104 channels this morning. From that point the rst is detailed above.

happens fairly regular on my sv3, says scambled/bad channel. just do menu,1570, press default,then exit, exit. works every time or me. hope this helps in future.
