Wrong software for the box, and you shouldnt be talking about stuff like that here.

did you run a blind scan on eurobird and astra 28.2 together or did you just run it on eurobird to find the last few channels.i did blind scan on 2 together on had no joy.what number did sky sports 2hd come up as on your all channel list and is it listed as sky sports 2hd or is it listed as sky 2hd. any help appreciated..

Hi

I just added Eurobird 28.5 to my Sats (put the heart beside it) but I didnt want to scan all the stations coz most of them are the same as Astra 28.2 - so I just scanned on one Transponder: 11719 and 29500 and H and it comes in with the name Sky Sports 2 HD.

hope that helps.

So has anyone got the internet apps to work again yet or will we have to wait 4 a new f/w update?

And does anyone know the reason why they used to work but dont work anymore?

Im using the 1.20 f/w

Also i noticed someone mention earlier that they got the homeplugs below:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/TP-Link-TL-PA211KIT-200Mbps-Powerline-Ethernet/dp/B004INVKP4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351087264&sr=8-1

I actually went 4 the 500Mbps ones (future proofing) as they were on sale last week in Amazon on Lightning Deals at under £30 - but anyway, the point is they work great with the Ariva 250 (and the Ariva 120)

Thanks 4 ur Feedback.

Just checked again now and YouTube and Daily Motion are working 4 me. Very strange, when I tried yesterday they didnt work at all.

The others are not working 4 me though

Astra 28.2 (I think it might be 2A) but I think they might also come in (duplicated) on Eurobird 28.5

i got a 250 lately aswell but not that impressed as it completely froze three times already and the only way to get it working again was to switch off the box at the back and allow it to reboot . seems to happen alot when i go into the entertainment section and try to download movie clips etc or it happened once when i was recording onto my mains powered hard drive....has anyone else had problems with their box freezing up completely or am i just jinxed?

Yes I have similar issues and more

I changed the video resolution down to 576p and the picture lagging/freezing no longer happens, want to have the HD res though. Dont know if this is a dodgy box.
I downloaded the firmware update v1.2 and reset factory settings, since then the youtube app, vimeo, RSS & google maps work, none of the rest work still which I can get over, but the freezing picture issue is a PAIN.

Hi,

Only youtube and grooveshack working 4 me today

I changed the resolution by goin to menu - TV System - and there is option to change the resolution there, I had it set to 1080p_60 since I got it until the recent freezing problems with DDT channels on this setting.

Hi,

Can anybody tell me why I am no longer getting the rte channels on my arriva 250? Was getting them last week and am getting the satellite channels now but no rte. Do I have to do something or is there some other reason for this? Any help appreciated as I am a bit slow on these things!!

With everything powered on press the "ok" button on the remote and make sure it's showing "all channels" in the top section of the menu window. If it's not just use the left or right arrow keys on the remote until it is. You should be sorted then.

Just got the box to search again for the channels and have found them so all is well. Thanks for your reply.
