    Angry loss of channels on sf8008

    Need advise on loss of all channels apart from f/a.
    Originally lost ch4 hd and a few others so decided to do re scan but stupidly pressed blind scan by mistake.
    Since then I have lost all channels, I have checked network and its ok, checked oscams and they are ok, checked config files there ok.
    Checked tuner config and its correct for my area on cable and and scan picking up 632 channels, but getting blank screen.
    Is there any fix before I need to look at re flash.
    I have openvix image installed, could it be a turner problem??
    Any advise will be helpful.

    Try using ABM. If only the free channels work, then you need to look at the card in your system.

    Menu > Setup > Network> Choose the adapter, ensure you disable Ethernet first. Are you sure you haven't disabled ethernet?

    Restart/Reset your Router/Hub. Also for info, if you have a genuine viewing card you don’t need internet to access your channels, so another issue, maybe you need to look at your config files etc.

    Have you tried a different network cable?

    If that does not work, I suggest you try flashing 5.2 034. Do not restore settings after. Do not install anything. Check if it has an IP and address and that you can connect to it.
