Hi all, can anyone confirm that something has happened today with the images as all channels appear to have gone except FTA ones. I have tried unplugging and powering up again no joy. I have got epg ok. It would appear that there was some sort of update this afternoon which has caused the problem. By the way talking about Dbox in ex C&W area, Sporster image. I have not had chance to look any further thought I would ask in case it is just my system at fault.:ermm:

Thanks for that, you were right about the issue. Things righted themselves later in the night. Not sure what it was but seems it may have had an effect on others. Let me know if you can expand on it.

i think thr cable companies are up to something, i know that they were experimenting with 20mb broadband, maybe this had some effect on the TV signal as it comes down the same lines, or maybe they were just messing around with signal strengths

Could just have been an outage - we had one here for several hours just a couple of months ago

It could be the signal strength but sub box was ok. I know Dbox can act strange with weaker signals. Thanks for the responses anyway.
