Well known sports channels all disappeared

I have tried several different channel lists and also have vhannibal updater running but for some reason all channels on this transponder appear to have gone??
All other transponders appear to be un affected

Any help and ideas would be welcome.

Change FEC from 2/3 to 5/6

I have ABM running on all my boxes and all sky sports channels are working perfectly fine. Its been well documented on this forum that sky has changed transponders on various different channels and a rescan of ABM soon corrected n picked them up again. I have ABM scheduled to run each morning.

Then either disable the free sat scan in ABM or update the .xml for free sat that Huevos posted yesterday.

That did the trick. Thank You

If you don't mind me asking Pheonix, what does the xml file do and why does this have to be done in order to get the free sat channels scanning correctly?

The provider xml files are used to tell ABM what transponder/frequency to tune to so that the data can be acquired.

If you don't change the file, ABM will not lock on to the frequency and the ABM process will fail.

Hello Me again,
I have updated to the latest Hayes and now have the same issue.
Do I need to load the xml file again? I am using Vhannibals auto updater motor

How weird, moved the dish to 19.2 to watch the game in Spanish, then just moved back to 28.2 and everything is ok???
