changed frequencies?

purplestar1986

I've lost some channels, they just come up black. Can anyone tell me if the frequencies have been changed? I do have a pretty cheap box and it's a real pain to tune so I don't really fancy having to re tune it but sure anyway these are the channels:

CBS Reality
CBS Reality +1
Showcase
Food network
Food network +1
Beach body
BnanzaBnanza

Also 2 channels seem to have switched to different channels

CBS action is now a babestation
Heat is now Irish TV

samarillo

these labels 52510 52505 52500 can be found on 11427 v 27501

Food Network, Food Network +1 & CBS Reality 11426V (27500)

Angling tv (new) 11390V (27500)
Spike tv (new) 10964H (22000)
CBS Action, Horror Ch+1, Heat, Magic & Bonanza Bonanza 11389H (27500)

I better get those changed before the wrong eyes see Babestation while looking for MacGyver.

Thanks for that, just have to figure out the stupid box now.

swoofer

say make of box and someone may have a channel list to save you bother

Stillhouette

I've it done already. It's not a bother.

People really should get Freesat HD boxes, no retuning required ever. Every so often a retune is required on the generic boxes.

I use my box for FTA stuff all over Europe. If you are watching only UK stuff then absolutely its a no brainer but people were dazzled by cheap combo boxes.

Where do I even start to get my channels back? Ive never done this on a FTA box but only on the sky box. Thanks:o

EDIT: Box is Humax Foxsat HDR

greasepalm

sometimes just do an auto scan on your sat and will overwrite old non working list with a new working one.people should bookmark this link on pc to see whats moved tomorrow and the next day.

That made me laugh ...........I can see the look my mother gives my father because of the "new" channel that has just appeared.......she is calling him a pervert and he doesn't even have a clue as to what she is on about.

Whoohooo!! Channels back thanks to a new scan. Thanks greasepalm for the link. :-)

Dazzled, or people wanted Irish channels as well, in a single channel list?

It's not that often that channels change frequency, especially the mainstream ones. At worst, it's add a transponder, do a search and a channel re-organisation. It's a couple of minutes job on my Arivas and Edison combos.

Dazzled as in they saw cheap and bought cheap boxes off salesmen who haven't been seen since.

Not everybody bought knowing what exactly they were getting. How many would have known that they would need to retune every now and again? Granted it's not often that the main channels change but smaller channels more often.

all sorted, spent a few hours on it last night on it as i badly needed to tidy up the channel list on my triax for astra 19 and 28. All done and very straightforward added in spike and itv be as well

greasepalm

If the channels are on the Freesat EPG, you shouldn't need to rescan a Freesat box if they change frequency.

dont think astra 19 is classed as freesat?

Only 1 poster in this thread has mentioned 19 east, in passing. Certainly the poster I quoted didn't, & the OP is nothing to do with 19 east.

i mentioned 19 in passing as with doing my 28 rescan i decided to update bbc world HD on 19.2. Apologies for the confusion

greasepalm

Maybe these mysterious vendors sold them too cheap and went out of business, before getting back on their unicorns and returning to Tir na Nog.
