Interestingly I now have a similar problem with TPS. Early January all my TPS cleared after 7 months of darkness as the June 07 patch from AL7bar killed some of the Platinum boxes, so I didn't install it.
But TPS mysteriously cleared January this year with the previous patch, but without using the AU system of going to France4 and entering 8888 daily.
A few days ago all Multivision, Canale Film, SCIFI,TPS star etc went dark. I have still certain TPS such as cartoons, AB moteurs, Motors, Chasse n Peche etc.
Any advice would be helpful. And yes I know a TPS subscription is the right way, but I cannot afford it, and anyway they are going HD and my box will not support HD. New box? Can't afford at present, lads!
