[QUOTE="ersc, post: 2604"] Hi Guys, first of all thanks for all your helpfull comments. I spent a good half an hour fiddling with the card /reader and believe it or not there it was, the card number on my setup menu. I'm not sure if its the contacts on the card (they do show some signs of wear and tear) or the card reader. It is currently stuck in there with a credit card wedged in half way. Not pretty but effective. I don't think the shipping of the receiver in a padded envelope by mail with inserted card did the connection any good at all..... Anyway, I did a new setup which now found all missing channels. Not decoded yet but I had already read on this forum that that can take some time after a unit has been switched off for sometime (b.t.w. after what 'off' time do the BBC channels switch off?) I left the machine on overnight on BBC 1 and YES, this morning BBC1,2 CH4,5 were working. No ITV yet. Maybe tonight. Or can it be that the ITV region (London) that was found during setup is not the one enabled on my card? If so can anybody tell me how I change to the enabled region (don't know which one it is). Thanks again for your all your help (and visiting an Irish Pub is always a good idea, even if I don't need a card anymore :-) Bye for now Erwin [/QUOTE]
