Can't list them off the top of me head. But Disney is gone. Some of the other cartoon channels are gone. Basically all (from what I can see) of the kids channels are gone.

try a manual scan on 291mhz for disney or if you like you could try a factory reset and then go through the set up again.

As Karl says do a factory reset,
you should get back the ones you lost!

Hmmmmm. Granted, I have the "manual" that came with the Box when I bought it. Now, I've used those steps on a couple of occasions and it has worked. The last time i did a rediscover, the brother gave me a quicker, 'secret' code that bypassed the lengthy steps in the manual....and it was after doing THAT, that I found the channels were missing. I'm wondering if using the secret code doesn't do a full scan ?

1570 gets you into the"secret menu" but has nothing to do with scanning,as i previously asked what box have you it will say it on the front of the box.

Morning - it's simply called "The Box", no version or model number or anything on the chassis or in the manual.
The other thing I noticed scanning thru the channels manually is that for some of them, mainly the kids channels, the scan didn't pick up the "name" of the channel e.g. Dinsey, or Dinsey+1....but it has a meaningless string of alphanumerics. Presumably I can rename these ?

the channels should all come up with the correct names. Not sure but the the alpanumeric channels are ones that change and on those there is no data of now and next.

7.09 is supposed to stop the rebooting issue with the sv3`s.
Its for the newer boxes, although all the sv3 firmw@re is safe, the 7.09 will be more stable. (if its a new b0x).

ok guys your gonna hate me (soooooooooowwy)but ive saidsomething similar on 2 other threads, but cant remember if any of you guys are on those threads. but my supr box keeps rebootin i was given a download GTRom_Superbox_8.00e.zip - ZIP archive, unpacked size 626,688 bytes from my suppliers dated 20-6-08 is that the newest. ive also checked my box ( thanks to info on other thread) and its running API 6.000 e_E boot ver 8.0 and dated 4-2-08
ao ia the info i have bene given correct - do i need to download that to my box. sorry but ive looked for updated one and they seme to be 7.09 ok so 8.00is higher but is it the one i need to stop it reebooting. tonightits doen it about 4 times in the last hr so seems to be gettingworse and about time i sorted it. i have 2 boxes but the other one does not do it so much.
so sorry if im being a bit of a pain. cheers
