    I have several missing (eg FX and ITV + 1) and wanted to monitor how often channels go missing-It's part of the fun of having a box :)
    Is it best to wait till they return or should one always do a Factory Reset and new Scan every week as that is the only way to get them back? And why do channels go missing?Is it true that they least popular ones are more likely to disappear for a few days?
    Thanks again!

    why would you scan them, the krypt has auto scan, so just leave the box in standby and it will do it, chans come and go, regardless of which are popular

    Thanks for that,MICKAH. When you say standby, does that mean I should not turn off the box or the internet connection but it is okay to turn off the TV?

    leave it in standby for about 40 mins and it will scan the network for chans, will do this regardless of being connected to the net, you can turn the TV off

    is its the instalation page that your on.
    press instalation and either rescan the box or do a factory default.

    have been doing that all day but cant seem to get all my channels back only seem to be getting the crap channels . last time i went for a rescan it took me nearly a week of constant scanning till i got all my channels back it seems to be pot luck as to how many tp`s you get from scan to scan lowest is about 48 highest so far is 73 and we all know more tp`s more channels

    got all my channels back finally. took me nearly 2 weeks of rescanning just at random times.with varying results . i found the best way is not to wait for the network i.d.s to come up and just keep pressing enter repeatedly untill it starts to scan it doesnt seem to matter which network you use nearest or furthest but by doing it this way it seems to get the strongest.also if you have scanned and got nothing then factory reset, and turn the box off for a few seconds then turn back on and rescan. had my box over 18 months now not as good as eurovox was but what do you want for free

    justrick, when the network ids come up and you hit ok on the remote straight away,
    does your area network not come up like. glasgow .manchester .leeds.liverpool.
    my network id comes up as glasgow so i just press ok on the glasgow id and it
    scans no problem,

    i dont wait for the network i.d.s to come up as soon as ive pressed the green button to start the scan i start pressing the enter button repeatedly untill it says its continuing with the scan . so i never know which network its scanning . but it seems better when i switch off for a few seconds just after ive done my reset then switch back on and continue. if it come up with less than 55 tp.s then i reset straight away and start again.its the only way ive been able to get all my channels back.doing it the normal way has sometimes taken me months this way its pot luck but never takes me more than a few days .but thats doing it a couple of times a day as i couldnt be arsed keeping on at it all the time .if i get most channels i usually leave it that day and try again the next.hope this is of some use to you keep plugging away youl get there
