Morning, a couple of weeks ago I had my 80cm dish motorised. Everything was ok up to this morning. I was trying out a channel search on Eutelsat W3. I got a few channels which I then saved. I went back to the sat list using the yellow button to find that there was nothing else on the box. ALL...

I had a reply from ITV a couple of days ago on this problem. I left a voice mail with them on Saturday afternoon when the audio problem was present. She told me the engineers were aware of this and were working on it... Nothing new there I suppose but they would appreciate a call if it happens...

Thanks for the info. I've just had a look at D. Spy. I see what you mean about the sound dropouts. I've only had the freesat for 2 weeks and this is the first time I 've had that. At least the Fulham-Man Utd is ok. Sound ok and good picture

Is anybody watching Coventry vs Chelsea on Freesat ITV hd? Since the start of the program I have had a short (1-2sec) break in the sound. At one stage it was regular at 10 second intervals, other times the interval was larger. Anybody else with this? SD transmission ok. Have tried to reload ITV...

I tried to do a search today on my Humax 2000 but came up with 2 problems: Very slow search and then freezing up when saving channels. I have Hotbird and Astra 1 on a monoblock, and Astra 2 on a seperate dish. All searches have the same result. The box freezes up completely, the only thing...

Thanks Llew. I hope it lasts for a while. I've got a very good picture from this station.

I left it alone for a couple of days. I then re-installed Cas 8.5a, cleaned the contacts etc again and loaded the latest file successfully! When I first used the Cas3 last year I had a problem with Vista which resolved itself. Do you think there was a conflict in Vista this time? I use an...

Having no luck with this at all. Problem started when trying to load file for first time with 8.5a The message displayed in the the software window is: 'Please insert dragon cam with dummy into the receiver' I have checked ribbon cable, etc, all seems ok there, no damaged pins. Cleaned...

Tried what you suggested Mickha, still no luck. The 2 green lights come on when the Cas3 is first connected but when I start the update they go off, only the red is on and the software window 'jumps' after a few seconds and the Vista loading icon is displayed. This loading icon (the rotating...

Hi there, I'm having problems with the Cas3, using Dragon Cam. In software window I am instucted to ' insert dummy card into receiver'. 0% is shown in the small loading panel, this soon disappears. This is shortly followed by a small window telling me 'USB read communication problem 20000015...

I got fed up with it and got in touch with Wizard Satellte, the retailer. I spoke to Paul, returned the receiver, they put in the software and returned it next day. Good service there. They told me in Maplins that I was buying the correct cable to do the data transfer. I should have checked...

Maybe you're right. They can have it back next week if I can get a box for it. I'll give the PC World chap a go if I can get hold of him

There were a choice of 4, tried them all. No go. Got same message whichever port I tried.

I have just got back from trying to download the update. I used a RS232 cable between the PC and Rec'r and still no joy. Carried out the procedure as above. The message 'waiting for Humax conection' was still displayed. On a couple of occassions a small window came up with a comms port error...

I didn't turn off at mains, had it on standby when pressing download button. That must be it. I'll try to give it a go this a.m. Cheers, Llew. What about this baudrates setting, any preference there?
