Many HD channels not working at all ie no signal being received ie Sky1HD, Sky F1HD

Latest Silverfox channel list installed, satellite .xml updated.

When I check the tune there is no signal being received on the correct frequency for Sky F1HD for example. However many channels do work-I can get the SD F1 channel no problem, so some channels are working fine.

I'm running VIX 2.2.1.

Any ideas what to try next?

You are running a rather old image, and hence old settings (if you installed them from the feeds).
The only sensible advise is to update your image.

try re-scanning the satelite 28.2e.
they must be the latest settings if slyf1hd is listed but isnt working. thats a new channel.

A scan should fix it.

It always makes me laugh when someone has an issue the immediate answer is you are on an old image and update!!

Do not update, simple as that, the latest Vix is much worse than previous incarnations and seems very problematic.

So I'm talking nonsense? That only means you haven't read what I said. And that's what makes me laugh!
Please read and think before talking nonsense like that!

you are partly correct. yes a scan should find the channels however that version image is no longer maintained nor updated and as such can be considered as obsolete. Which is why it is recommended to update to a more current image. after all why spend all that money on a enthusiasts receiver just to throw a old and no longer maintained image on it ?. my advice to the user would be to backup their current setup and try a newer image, it need not necessarily be ViX but a newer image from any team would suffice if just for the newer hardware drivers and support, if after this they wish to return to a older image again then so be it. but it costs nothing to experiment now does it ?.

Great advice from all- tried the new image, rescan all to no avail.

I then decided to go back to basics and look at the hardware- it seems something with sharp teeth has been eating my cable!

Replaced et viola all channels back!

thanks for all the help but it just goes to show -expect the unexpected!

A tin of .22 pellets costs around a fiver. empty a few pockets of cat food into the yard / garden etc then just find a nice perch on top of a shed or even lean out of a window with a air rifle and plink away.

So i've now got an infraction for this comment??? Please tell me exactly where I said you were talking nonsense?? Nowhere, it's just that you have interpreted it that way, you really must be the sensetive sort.

This forum is very quickly becoming a joke among satellite enthusiasts, on many other forums i've had conversations regarding the behaviour of some of the staff here, blatently breaking their own rules and profiteering etc.

There really was no need for your comment or for the infraction you gave me, maybe I hit a nerve? I dont know. What I do know is that the comment made by Pheonix is how it should be made, asking questions and not wielding the mod power at the first opportunity.

The infraction that was issued was reversed upon discussion with the staff , we are all human and as such are prone to human emotion and reaction so lets just leave it there please
