[QUOTE="rolfw, post: 2797, member: 175057"] Hi Thraxes, sounds very frustrating. Several points are worth checking, first that the viewing card is chip face down (the opposite to some other boxes), try flicking it with your finger a couple of times to ensure good contact. Second, check the signal strength in the manual tuning mode of the frequencies you are trying to receive. If the box has been inactive for a while try a forced software update, by switching off at the mains and pressing the backup button on the unit while reconnecting, keep pressed until all of the lights flash on. Do the update without the card in. Bear in mind that the initialisation of the card can take 24 hrs in some circumstances and the box needs to be switched on for as long as it takes. The information that you have provided to Sky must also be spot on with regard to the serial number of the box etc. Rolf [/QUOTE]
