    My recording is still working but live viewing via the blue button is a frustrating affair. I usually watch live using the other channels. If I see than fu**ing young one on about the bloody rainforests again I'll scream!! It all went pear shaped since the latest epg was released. Your box probably got updated to the latest epg which wiped the trick channels. Try re-doing the card trick and see how it performs then.

    This is my procedure.
    1) Make sure you have all the channels you want stored in other channels.
    2) Tune to 501, Sky news.
    3) Unplug the box and swap to the UK card.
    4) Plug the box back in and wait until the UK epg loads completely.
    5) Go to options, favourites. Scroll down through the epg and tick all the UK channels you want using the yellow button.
    6) Save the ticked favourites by pressing the green button.
    7) Confirm that they are saved by exiting all menus and while viewing a channel press the blue button. The channels should be there in rotation.
    8) Go into standby (amber light).
    9) Swap back to the Irish card, power the box back on and the UK channels should be on the favourites(blue button).
    Live viewing is all but gone for me at this stage. Recording still works by searching for the program or if its within a day, by moving forward through the epg that pops up by pressing select while viewing.
