    If its new then there should be no password so someone at some point has put one in there.

    danIrl I have the same problem pvr list is empty when the external usb hd drive is powered off through power cut or otherwise although recordings are still on the usb drive they will not show up.
    The only way I can find to restore the recordings and pvr list is to connect the drive to your pc and copy all the contents to a folder, can take a while, then reformat the usb drive (fat 32) using swissknife or similar and copy the folder contents back to usb drive.

    This may be the scenic route and there has to be an easier way.
    Would appreciate if any of you guys know fix for this
    Thanks

    Use windows error checking

    Hi Guys,
    firstly may I say I have enjoyed reading these forums for the past weeks and they have been an amazing source and help setting up my free to air Sat so thank you all.

    I have both a Ferguson Arriva 120 and 220 combo boxes setup, I am strongly considering buying the Cyfra+ Multipakiet + Canal+ HD Card. I was wondering if my Sky Sat Dish will be able to pick up the signals or would I need another Dish?

    Hi
    yes you can use the same dish, you still need to point the dish to hotboard13

    Thanks Rabii

    when you say point, do you mean just select the Hotbird satellite and scan on that frequency or do i physically have to point the dish from the present location?

    He means you would physically have to move the dish. But then you loose all on 28deg east.

    Get yourself a 80 cm dish. Have a look atthis thread. You will need 2 lnbs, one focused on 13deg east and 2nd offset at 28deg east. :

    Hi still having problems with BBC HD and Channel 4 HD. I do a scan they are not spotted on that, then if i enter the TP setup menu, all i get is a message saying "frequency exist" It sets the frequency back to 0 and i get nowhere.

    Any ideas. :confused::confused::confused::confused:

    Try doing a blind scan rather than a full scan when you search. Worked for me on my Ariva 120

    Make sure you change the dvb setting to dvbs2. I had the same problem you describe above and that was my issue.

    When doing a new scan rite from the start say, you have options to scan for FTA only, TV or Radio and to do a Full scan, Quick scan or a Blind Scan. Select Blind Scan along with your other preferences

    I noticed that the aerial input is a bit loose i.e. the piece in the middle (don't know the technical name sorry!). Anyway, I squeezed it togther a bit with a pliers and the signal is close to perfect now.

    I think I read that another poster (possibly willyb007) had the same issue and also fixed it in the same manner.

    Hope this helps resolve your issue.

    the channels can only be tuned in when they are broadcasting. RTE JR will tune in before 7PM and RTE +1 will tune in after 7PM. Confused the hell out of me for a while when I was trying to set them up.

    Thanks to Tonio and Tweaky for your ideas earlier in the week,sorted,eg,tunes in only when on air and manual scan is best.

    Hi,

    I have been trying to use the pvr function on the Ariva 200. When i set the timer to record a few programs it comes on and off like its recording but when its finished and i go to play them, there is only the first title present and none of the rest.

    Thanks in advance

    Is your dish aligned ok ? If not this video might help, just fast forward past the dish assembly part

    I'd try the box in the room you know is working ok to try and isolate what the problem is
