What channels are working? Are they your free to air channels only, i.e. BBC1, BBC2, ITV, Channel 4 etc.?

Were your sports channels ever working? Do you have a line/gift/subscription on the box? Was it due to expire?

Is your box connected to the internet properly?

I would imagine your subscription has either expired or the servers your subscription uses are down, but it could be a number of things.

Thank you for the quick reply @kevyn87. yes I use to have all sport channel working and they were disappearing one after the other. I am getting the BBC1 etc and some kids channel too. I am guessing its the subscription as it has last over 12 months now since i got it installed. If am to get a subscription how can I do it?
 
I had a problem like that this morning on my skybox F5, I put a test line on & it worked perfect with not freezes. I then deleted the line then put a regular line on & was great for few mins went channel hoping in the entertainment section then decided to goto Sports section...... non worked all scrambled, tried movies again the same. Checked everything, know it's not the server cos I have it on my Zgemma box n all working as it should. So deleted the line, rebooted & reinstalled............. same thing happened.

I know these boxes are very temperamental & problematic

Worked for me, I also rechecked my CCCam.cfg was all entered correctly.:p

Hi mate, I have just checked in the Cccam config setup and its showed offline
 
That's the first thing i did m8 & it still did it. I put a cheap crappy server test tine on & perfect.

I bought an Nline off of ebay and it worked for about 3 days. Can anyone help me with something a bit more long lasting or is this just another urban myth?
