    Hi
    I have an Edision Optimuss 3 for a couple of years in holiday home. Had openATV 6.0 on it until recently. It regularly stalls, spinning icon in upper left corner, which I though I could get rid of by setting up daily reboot at 0600, but that didn't work. Anyhoo on a recent reboot, it would not pass 49% on boot, so I took it away and tried a couple of installs of OpenATV on it. v.6.3 and 6.2 didn't boot, so I then tried v6.1 which worked. I installed a few software plugins on it while it was connected to internet since we don't have broadband at holiday home.
    When I took it back down over weekend, connected to sat dish, the channels were completely different to previous time. For example, 101 was BBC One, 102 was BBC 2 HD. I think provider was BSkyB. I used to be able to get Dave, Quest, but these not showing up now.

    I'm not au fait with satellite TV but am reasonably conversant with tech, so I'm a little lost as to what is going on. When I want to browse the TV channels, There are options for "Providers", lots of 19.2E, but nothing I'm familiar with. I don't know what I've done wrong.
    I've tried to get Saorview channels on the Edision, but nothing showing. I think it's a dodgy converter from coax to sat connector. It did come apart, and coax working on a cheap box without a HDD, so no recording there, and this adds another box under the TV.

    Any advice from the experts here?
