Just to let you know my EPG seems to be back to normal this morning. Date and times are correct for the 2nd \0/

Yep I have the same problems, I turned on to watch the news and at the end flipped over to the EPG and it was empty, strange, then it filled with Saturdays programs :-rofl2. Will keep an eye on this thread and see if you get a reply.

Just for info Channel 5 has moved transponder today it seems. I found it here along with the other Channel 5 new channels, you will have to do a manual scan to find it. Astra 2A 28.2E 10964 H 22000 V-PID 2305 A-PID 2306 P-PID 2305 Note; If you scan without the PID's you will get a list of...

Just downloaded the file this evening and it looks identical to the one the tech support department sent me to test. I told them it did not work and even included a complete list of all the new channels with channel number, PID’s, VID’s, transponder numbers the lot so they should have no excuse...

Hi Bbigfoot, the channel list depends on which version of firmware you have installed on your Passion+ HD system. The latest version so far is version 1.2.8 (pn2_av128fs_20100617) downloaded from the Fortec Star website. I have trialled version 1.3.0 for Fortec, but this does not as yet list...

Thanks, briangw I was aware of this and tried it, but (there is always a but), I have this ingrained channel number sequence in my head that channels beginning 101 equals entertainment, beginning 200 for news and 300 for films and turning that off messes up the whole damn thing. I could still...

Sorry for the long post but just thought I would pop by and update everyone on the state of play with Passion+ firmware and the BBC 1 HD upgrade. A couple of weeks ago I contacted Fortec Star tech support about the changes to Freesat listings and very quickly got a reply with a new (version...

Yes this is now normal behaviour when switching on the unit. Older versions of the firmware didn’t do this, I think it was introduced with version 203 but I’ve updated so many version I can remember exactly LOL. I did complain on the forums about this problem as using the old versions if you...

I have had a Passion+ HD STB for about 2 years now and must say the most disappointing thing is the EPG. My unit when purchased came with an old version of firmware and over time I have tried all the versions up to and including the latest version 127. All versions have had some problems with...

If as you say you upgraded version by version then you should still have the Jan version saved. Just load this on to your flash drive as you did above and reload it exactly as you did before. Pleased my instructions helped :). Regards, W

I upgraded my Passion+ to the Jan 8th 2009 version from their website. I must say it worked a lot better then the original firmware it came with. I now had a working 7 day EPG and other useful updates. Last week I updated to the latest version Sept 10th 2009 again from their website. After...

Hope you all don’t mind as I’m new to this forum but this is an update to the Maplin Fortec package deal (sorry about a ‘Wall of Text’). I bought this package from Maplin 4 days ago as a complete installation with a Fortec Star Passion+ receiver and dish for £159.99 (well the store manager also...
