Have you got a splitter on your signal? Sounds like a weak signal. If you have try scanning directly from cable feed, and if you don't consider getting a signal booster.

Thanks Evastar. No my signal is direct (not split). I'll look at getting a signal booster (presume they're available in most electrical shops). A little surprised as everything worked fine up till about Dec 23rd :-)

Where are you based? They might be working on your cables? Have you got a proper cable co box, how is that working?

Box retrieves approx 120 channels most of them are unwatchable due to picture freezing/jumping and "Bad Signal" occasionally displayed. BTW, I've checked/changed all connections several times! Incidentally about 40 of the channels "retireved" are just listed as TV Channel 1, TV Channel 2 i.e. instead of BBC1, RTE1 etc. I think from postings a few others have same problem. Anyone know wnaything about this? Once again thanks to all the posters who've saved me up to now......
most channels are NOT named on the recent scans (from what I read) - you just have to take the time to go through them all and suss which is which, rename and then move, if you want. Most of the ones you want are just named TV CHANNEL - but are all there - not sure, but maybe abbreviated to TV Chan or similar.
Hey - what do you expect? If you want to go down this route, then you need to work lol or pay to have them properly
lol

Thanks Evastar/Tizler. I have NTL Broadband, Phone & Digital! 1 co-ax arrives goes to a "replay" and then scart to my TV.
Thanks Tizler re TV Channel names but the vast majority of my channels are unwatchable due to picture freezing etc.
A couple of other people i know outside the forum say similar things happening them but others I know have no problem so I'm guessing signal is being "modified" by region.
I'll try an get the signal booster as per Evastar's suggestion.....

codes can nolonger be given out on htis site, please do not ask again as we have had too many threads shut down because of code begging. if you google the same question adding your general area, you will get an answer, alternatively you could ask a friend with a box to go into their menu and find them for you.

Hi all, i know some have had issues similar to mine but was just wondering if anyone has managed to get their RL working A OK after the following problem??
I have updated my Replay with the latest firmware but have noticed that i am unable to view some of the premium channels since i did this.
Channels such as Sly 1, 2 & 3 are displaying a blue screen which is the background image of some sort.
I have gone through all the TV_CH but unable to find them unscrambled. Also the Sly Movie channels have the same issue.
I have re-scanned with the RL directly connected to the coax without a splitter but the same result.
Would using someone elses channel dump help??
Anyone else had this issue and managed to resolve it?
Hoping someone can help as i have 3 RL's to sort including my own for family and they are nagging me
Cheers

this sounds like it picked up the channels at the wrong frequency, if you have done a manual scan to no avail, then i would certainly try to use someones channel dump. if any of the other boxes are working properly, then you could download its channel dump to your computer, flash all three boxes, then reload the channel dump to the replays.

I scanned the box on 6887 as in pure empty heell south wales.
Is worth a try as my nans box has not yet been flashed and all channels i got probs with work on hers, could get channel dump off that and write it to my problem box as a test.
Do you have a channel dump by any chance?
Cheers mate

If your nan has the same provider and is the same general area, get the channel frequency from her, and try a manual scan on that frequency. Or else upload her channels to your pc and then download them on to the other boxes. There is a guide on how to do that here:
To backup your saved channels and favourites.
Connect the null modem lead to your PC and box and power up the box.
Open up the stb link.
Setup Comm.
Click Read User Data
The file will be called Factory_Data.txt
There will be 64 blocks to download from the box.
Save it to your desktop and rename it what you want.
_____________________________________________
You can reload the file you have saved on your desktop.
But when you have established a connection with the stb link
Click Write Factory Data and get the saved file from your desktop.
There will be 64 blocks to upload.
Make sure as always to wait for the rapidly flashing light.

You are using the 28122008 flash? And you have a replay lite not the replay pvr?

Unless your remote stopped working. Look at it through a digital camera and press a button on the remote, if you see a red light the remote is working.

Well it seems to be fine for most people, so check your remote and make sure that's working.

Cheers Evastar, nan lives up the road so all same area etc. Cant understand it have had no problems like this pre 28/12/08 was thinking may have been issue with FW but downloaded this again and still the same on 2 boxes. (Weird)
Will get the other box and do channel dump and see what happens.
Cheers
