Hi all,

A friend of mine who lives in Wood Green and is a Starview 2 Super user says that when Nagra 3 was rolled out he was on holiday and his unit was unplugged.

When he plugged his unit in it worked etc as normal , the following morning it was scrambled.

He called me 2 ask what was wrong and i explained that it was the end for free loaders like us, he called me back 2 days later (last tuesday evening) and said ALL his channels were back after having the unit unplugged and doing a manual scan. All his channels are scrambled the next morning

ive no reason not to belive this but wonder how he did it?

if your channels are still scrambled have a look @
Areas hit by 3.7 and/or N3

and if your one of the areas mentioned its wave g-bye

Checked with my friend today....
He informs me that his box is blocked overnight and the cure is to unpug from the mains power supply for 24 hrs or more.
He then does a auto scan
checks the emu key is on and hey presto all channels back

I'll ask him what firmware hes using soon but I'm sure it was the latest for a Starview 2

Give this a try users see what results u get

Regards all

He normally plugs his box back in just before a football match on sly sports.
He says that in the morning when he wakes up all channells will be scramblled again and he has to unplug again etc.
