Channel 5 no longer on my UK card?

KingdomYid

Has anybody else noticed this,its a pain because the spurs game is only on five tommorrow night.

I did a search and found out how to get five back on the FTV card.

KingdomYid

Cool how would I go about doing this if you dont mind me asking.any help would be appreciated.

The magic word was "SEARCH", you should try it some day for yourself. It actually works

DigiDec

Just leave the card in the box overnight and it should re-appear in the next 24 hours.

No need to be so smart,I thought the idea of this forum was to discuss problems and get solutions next time i wont bother!

Little knowledge is a dangerous thing :mad:

The fact that this question gets asked almost on a weekly basis now in this forum proves that people dont bother using the search facility on here. By just typing "five missing from my ftv card" into google, throws up boards.ie as the very first find

He was not being smart, the forum is here to help people but you need to help yourself too. The forum is full of threads asking the same questions over and over by people who do not bother to search first, this is annoying and frustrating for regular contributors who do like to help.

Fair enough i will take that advice on board and search in future,by the way thanks to all for their help as the channel is back.

the search facility on boards has been up and down like a yoyo over the years.

DigiDec's useful reply took no longer to type than Aquos' sarky one - its no wonder Boards has a reputation for being full of pompous assholes.

Tony

I agree the search facility has been a problem but insulting people who post here is not exactly helpful now is it? I'm guessing the replies are born out of annoyance and frustation at seeing the same questions over and over.

While I am on the issue, I have some questions:
What fta english channels are there?
Can I paint a sky dish?
What does "no signal" mean
What satellite cable do i use?
And more and more......................................

Tony

Or the classic "My picture has gone, has everyones else's gone too"

It does?

TheDriver

Ahhhhhhhhh, so thats why so many people come here asking new interesting questions, people just love pompous assholes!

Mossy Monk

Perhaps those who don't like the pompous assholes should look elsewhere. It will make everyone happy.

To be fair, I think it was the tone of the reply which came accross as a bit smart arsed. The guy seemed to have a legitimate concern over channel 5. A simple 'why not search for yourself' or even just ignore the post if they felt that strongly.
The time it took to post the smart comment he could have told the guy.

True but as I wrote earlier the comments were most likely coming from annoyance/frustration after a series of this type of post.

Aquos76

I apologise if I came across as been a smart arse, but as has previously been mentioned, there are numerous threads appearing here on a daily basis regarding topics which have been discussed to death, The fact that this is probably the most common fault regarding FTV cards that occurs, I was a bit pissed off to see yet another thread on the topic.

If I was looking for info regarding a particular topic, I would normally ask google first and failing that I would venture on to forums like this one and try my luck there. However it was obvious that the OP decided just to post here without trying to find the answer for himself.

Hmm, seems most of this thread has little to do with the topic, even if has been done to death.
