N3 to start in Yorkshire on Monday.

ive not been on here for a while and its the same old panic setting in,if they go off its no big deal as we have certainly had our money`s worth out of it,theres some clever people out there and one day there will be another fix to start the ball rolling again.

 

Hi all Leeds starting as of 16th november got a letter eariler this week stating if I hadn't got a new card by the 16th then ring them and new smart card arrived yesterday.... also heard from a good source that leeds are changing first but not sure to what .....

 

Oh good. Another one.

 

Gets better and better on here...better than watching me Eurovox

 

hmm....
im in leeds and havnt got anything from them letters or new smart card,

 

I got a letter this week saying that a card is on its way.

 

I wonder how long it will be when we start to see people offloading the new boxs at cheap rates lol

 

Hi guys sorry for my earlier rant but just need to explain that i neither buy or sell boxes, it was only meant as a word of warning, didn't want to cause any mass hysteria, but glad to see you got your letter Tony i, just call it an early christmas CARD. Maybe you can come back to apologise, little man!

 

You wrote that on October 30. You're full of shit.

I have said nothing about the future of cable and have certainly never said anything about cards, only about bullshitters and liars.[/quote]

 

Jesus, what a bum hole.

I bet you go to pink with the other queens after you've finished talking down to customers on the phone.

PHONE JOCKEY

 

guys I posted a excerpt stating the cards will start to roll out in the areas, some peeps got them, some havent, there is no way that anything will change in a matter of days or even weeks until everyone has got them.

Now why would anyone do a revamped N1 card? doesnt make one lick of sense, when N1 is as open as the north sea, they want to plug holes in their service, not leave them open

Like I said above, read into statements being made and why....

 

even when my new card comes i wouldnt be using it. il kept saying i havent got it. ive been told this new card once its been put in the box it resets all your settings and signals so who ever has a chipped box or starview will lose all channels.

 

regardless if you dont use it, you will start losing chans from the box as you would with the SV, the only thing the card does, it will allow the box to view the chans that have moved, by you not putting the card in wont stop it. it wont delay it, if that were the case the population of Ireland would have slung their cards in the bin and still have their chans

 

Could this N3 thing be why all my channels disappeared on Monday last week? the 2nd November. Although I am in South West Hertfordshire (Watford), my brother in North London can still get all his channels.

It's annoying I have only had a months viweing out of my The box super USB n now the only channels are all BBC and ITV1, none of the freeview channels are working either.

EMU is on, have rescanned and entered key codes, still nothing but BBC and ITV1.

North West London and Watford, were Videotron, then C&W bought them out then NTL bought out C&W, has anyone else had any problems, or is my box not working?

 

factory reset, scan without any splitters, try not to multipost.

What version firmware you got running on the box? In the CAS menu, hit the default key to see if this helps

Have you checked to see if there is a issue with the service in your area on the virmin service webpage?

 

Thanks, have checked no problems reported on the Virmin site.

Ive done the default key thing and the firmware is 1.07, is there a newer one than tis?

Will do the splitter thing tonight, but why would it have worked for a month first with a splitter, then suddenly all gone, all gone. I'll have to go to Paul's house. LOL

 

the latest file for the box is

here http://www.4shared.com/dir/3042613/f6e3421c/sharing.html its V1.12

If a splitter is crap or damaged it will interfere with your signal quality, if you have done a factory reset and scan on

Watford - Herts NTL/C&W, 41051 666750 6952 - Cable and Wireless is the one to choose from the provider list,

See how ya get on

 

Sorry guys I have to admit I watch Emmerdale and that postie who is the son of Bob hasn't delivered any smartcards there. I think thats filmed in the Harrogate area. I think Alan Turner may be Trouble i'm sure I saw he had a starview 2 under his TV he must be panicking now. BTW how come that postie worked through the strike? ;-)

 

Well took splitter out of equation, last night, no joy, still no premium channels or even DAVE.

I haven't put any new software on there yet, but I have a question, why would my bother with a much older box not have to put new firmware on there? But i buy a new box which worked for a month then suddenly no channels at all, rescan finds them all, even tells me what's on all of them in the EPG and info but will only display a pic on the BBC ones and ITV1.

I am begining to think i have a faulty box. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

 

did you press the defualt key in the EMU and then exit it out?? i wouldnt be comparing areas in case there is an issue, with your area.

try the above and if you still have the same problem, flash the box with the firmware and factory reset and try again, if it is then the same issue, I would contact your supplier as the tuner may be goosed.
