    Hi, I have a Strong brand box that gets UK FTA and Irish DTT Channels. The past few days I haven't had any Irish channels coming in, it says "Scrambled Channel" onscreen. I have done a rescan and it still brings them in but they say "Scrambled Channel". Anybody know what's wrong? Thanks

    Sounds like your box is picking them up from satellite rather than terrestrial. You need to do a terrestrial rescan.

    Do you get RTÉ News Now, RTÉ1+1?
    Where are you located and do you know which transmitter you receive the terrestrial signal from?
    What type of aerial do you use outdoor or indoor?

    It's okay now, thanks Karsini was right they were coming in from ASTRA 19 satellite and the terrestrial were at the bottom. Thanks for all your help :-)
