These channels plus BBC 3 and BBC 4 moved satellite frequency earlier this week.

thanks MarkK. Have you made these changes? Where exactly do you do it? It seems to be in setup, transponder list - but the details given in that thread for CBBC/BBc News are already in my transponder list and I still don't have the channel....

BBC Three / CBBC and BBC News will move to
10.818 V 22000 5/6

Attached pic is where I see it in my setup..

thanks

You'll need to tell the box to scan for satellite channels.

I can't really say, I'm not familiar with that box.
Didn't have any success myself when trying to retune my crappy FTA box on the transponders for the moved BBC channels, ended up having to do a blind scan (about 45 minutes :rolleyes: ) followed by even more time wasted deleting duplicate, crap, and non-working channels.
Of course with our Freesat box on the main TV we didn't have to do a thing. Have an out of sub Sky box feeding a bedroom TV and we didn't have to do anything with that either.

I wouldn't buy an FTA satellite box again if you paid me. Unfortunately all the Saorview combo boxes are just FTA boxes on the satellite side of things, no automatic adding of new sat channels, no auto retuning of moved sat channels, no 7 day EPG on sat, no red button on sat. IMHO you're way better off with a proper Freesat+HD box and a Saorview box or TV.

You have to select the transponder and then press the blue button to rescan in order to pick up the channels you're missing.

Thanks cyberhog, that picked up the channels for me. Unfortunately it does add them as new channels to the bottom of the channel list, so you have to move them around again.
Ninja900, I know this is a bit of an inconvenience - but the convenience of having all channels in one list so that you don't have to be hitting your TV's input selector all the time is worth it - never mind the added convenience of one central PVR system with one hard drive for recording. And one less remote I personally wouldn't go back to a 2 box system

Just to update you I got a replacement box today which seems fine but better still it pulled in the BBC terrestrial channels with text,seven day epg and red button, her indoors very happy now.:)

7 days EPG on satellite, thought that was a definite non feature.

One other thing that worked unexpectedly for me is that I was recording RTE1 last night, and I was still able to watch RTE2. I thought that if you were recording Saorview you could only then watch Satellite, and vice versa.

7 day EPG on UK Terrestrial is available for those within reach of the transmitters .... not Satellite .

yeah, didn't cop that he meant terrestrial I Had a pretty good analog reception of BBC & ITV off my aerial before I moved to the Triax - might see if it can detect the digital signal from the north;)

edit......

I just did a full channel scan again, but setting the country as UK this time - and I pulled in all the UK channels from the norths terrestrial signal - so I have those extra features Xeroid mentioned - still got the Saorview channels of course. I'm in North County Dublin, so might be a possibility for plenty out there.

Had an unexpected surprise over the week-end when I discovered that my Triax TSC 114 Saorview box will receive DTT from the North. I'm in Drogheda & most viewers here have received BBC/ITV from the North for years. I'm receiving from Kilkeel in Co Down on Ch 45, & getting: BBC 1 to 4, BBC News 24, CBBC, Cbeebies, BBC Parliment, & some others (300, 301 ...). The Red Button even works! The analogue signal previously received from Kilkeel was poor enough & I used FTA satellite for all BBC/ITV/CH4 & 5 channels. On the 24th I expect to receive ITV/CH4/CH5, & others as well.

Is it commonly known that (some at least) Saorview boxes will receive UK DTT services given the appropriate aerial setup?

Ah - I see! So I havn't wasted my time or money in going for the TSC 114. I can get the HD via satellite.

How do I save a channel list/settings to a usb key ?

From the manual...............

Please Note
This can now be saved to a USB device so that the channel list can be copied to a new receiver.
1. Insert USB memory stick
2. To save the channel list press “Menu”, go to “Setting” upgrade “USB/Card upgrade” and then select required folder by pressing “Enter”.
3. Press “Blue” button to save.

I'm having the very same problem. My Tevion one4all remote from Aldi will not work. The Triax codes given (4 of them) will not work. There must be a code out there somehow?

I have set pvr file format to "ps" in the PREFERENCES-PVR Config menu. Most recordings are saved as mpg files..good.

I presume these mpg files are encoded so that they'll only work on your box - and can't be played anywhere else? Must give it a go just in case they aren't

Does anyone have the code for any OneForAll remotes for this Triax, tried all the codes on the manual but no dice, doing my head in.

I bought this remote: http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/9357493/c_1/1|category_root|Home+entertainment+and+sat+nav|14419512/Trail/searchtext%3EREMOTE.htm for my mother because the buttons on the original remote were too small. You can scan the box with the remote which takes 10 - 15 mins or you can program each button separately by pointing the remotes at eachother.

i recorded a program on a usb and i want to play it on my computer but comes up as tsv file . how can i get it to play

Doubt it. There's no encryption on TR112 recordings (which is what I have) so probably not on this box either. It's not required by the Saorview standards.

VLC will play just about anything. www.videolan.org

Re: USB external harddrives powered by USB . I have a WD My passport 1Tb which works fine .. but when it is not recording/playing back it still whirrs away in the background doing nothing...maybe firmware upgrades will address this?

Try turning off the 'pause live TV' function if you don't need it. Or try another drive, the Seagate drive attached to my TR112 spins down when not in use but the drive light stays on. This causes a few seconds delay if I do try to pause live TV, but otherwise isn't a problem.

Now the tv comes on OK but when we press 1 on the Triax remote control it just keeps going through 1111 over and over again. If we then press 3, it runs through 3333 until we press FAV and then it'll stay on channel 3.

Take the batteries out of the remote, wait a minute, then put them back in. If that doesn't work then try plugging the box out of the mains for a minute. If you still have the problem then the box or remote is probably faulty

Would anybody know where software and firmware updates can be downloaded from?
I'm finding weird bugs with recordings. Programs are being recorded even when not configured in the timers list.
