"Folks there is no use everyone shouting and complaining about the boxes not working, If a fix becomes available then it will be posted here, but meantime please stop asking for codes, help, and advice, as it is just a waste of time!! Solutions are being sought as you read this, so please be patient!!!!
EDITED SATURDAY 15.55
Since Thursday there has been major upset in the UK, this happened in Ireland some time ago however in a short space of time a fix was produced and all was sorted ,as you read this a fix is being worked on and as soon as it becomes available it will be posted on this site
so far there have been over 5 pages of the same questions been asked, and what is going to happen is simply that the site is going to be closed down by the mods therefore i would suggest that you try the following:
Use Google for searching for Codes, YOU WONT GET THEM HERE
just highlight the desired box you are trying to get working!!
BUT PLEASE STOP ASKING THE SAME QUESTIONS OVER AND OVER
Thanks to Panasonic for this idiotproof explanation ->
You are here because your box no longer receives the channels it did last week and is unable to update.
This is no different to anybody else who is receiving cable TV using an unauthorised box in the UK. Making a new post that informs us that you are in the situation that we already know about is not helping the forum, either with bandwidth or the finding of actual, useful information in the few threads that contain it.
you posting asking for help to return these channels will get you no more help than the guy who has posted before you, or the one below that etc. If your question, query or reason for being here has been mention in a previous post that is currently open ( and it has, trust me ) then it would be polite and courteous to post any further information you might have that you think is not duplicating everything before as a reply to that thread and use that for further discussion.
This is just the polite way to use forums that other people pay for to enable you to read and post.
As for what is happening. VM have changed the way that they now send information to their boxes that allow the boxes to decrypt the signals. As a result of this the previous firmware on boxes that have been modifies to steal cable services is unable to automatically update itself to manage this decryption. Therefore you have lost channels. This will not change until you physically reprogram the box with a firmware change. As of yet the only firmware available is for the ArNet Kryptview box so any other box owners need to be patient.
Do not attempt to re-scan your boxes, you are wasting your time. AT the very best you will end up in exactly the situation you are in now and at worst back to factory default with no transponders or channels and needing more help. Do NOT replace your current firmware until a new one is available.
There is a short term manual fix for boxes that requires you to obtain the decryption hash codes yourself and input them into your box using the method needed for that box.
Afterdawn does not condone or facilitate the illegal obtaining of cable services and so insists that users do not post codes nor post links to sites offering codes. You have a responsibility to the owners of this site to not post material that they might be legally required to keep off the site. You signed terms and conditions in which you agreed you would not do this. Those terms are a legally binding contract and if you do anything to harm the operation of afterdawn you can be held responsible so my advice is to act responsible.
be patient. There will be a fix. It took about 4 days last time this happened. This is not to say it will be 4 days this time, just to say that you can expect a fix.
I hope this information has been of some use to you as some members appear confused.
