Anybody know a reference for Toppy 4000PVR Plus Error Codes? My 4000 refuses to respond to the remote control or to front panel button presses and will only display L4.46 on the front. It also produced E-03 and E-06 when I was trying to upgrade the firmware. Thanks in advance.

Yep, MCT has bidden farewell to 11785H on HotBird. The three channels it had on this freq - Dream, Free & Full, have moved to 12092H. Telefonica has taken over these feeds and the revised MCT line-up is now entirely on 12092H. Gosh, what next? Who knows, but Redlight has a new Logo! MCT’s...

Hi Rizwanrk One thing is sure - nothing is free in this life! It’s not so much a case of providers NOT being able to broadcast in clear, more a case of commercial reality. If you want to watch - you have to pay. There are several broadcasters on Hotbird offering adult material: Dorcel (3...

Now that's what I call a joke!!

The zone2 dish measures 72cm, left to right and 59cm, top to bottom - cost being an issue for Sky, it’s the smallest size that could be deployed north of the border to catch the Astra2 spot beam (and only does that properly if it’s correctly installed). So check that the dish is a zone2 dish...

And while you're at the top of the class, collect an 'A' Star!!

A bashful young man is in love with a beautiful girl - they both work in the same office, but she doesn’t know he exists. Without an inkling of how to make his presence known to her, he is walking along Bournemouth beach, pondering his dilemma and hoping for inspiration. As he trudges through...

Hey Channel Hopper! Everything down there counts. But if you see a change in shape, or an increase in size, you could be in trouble. Moles are trickey things. :confused:

You can't see the wire, but the marionette is on speed.

One Saturday afternoon, a young couple were sitting at the table in the kitchen diner discussing their mounting financial problems. They talked about loans, credit cards, family & friends - all no chance options and after a lot of soul searching, both agreed she would have to go out on the...

Hi, As Wurzel says, there are lots of channels out there and you should definitely look at Lyngsat for info. Astra does not broadcast from 13E (this is HotBird's position - HotBird 6/7A/8). Astra 1E/1F/1G/1H/1KR/2C are postioned at 19.2 E. Astra 1D/3A are positioned at 23.5 E Astra 2A/2B/2D...
