Hi all, having consumed a bottle of rouge after coming back from the pub I did something really stupid. My satellite box had been showing some 'locked' channels and I had tried everything to try and un-lock them, all to no avail, so in my drunken stupor (wife had gone to bed) I decided that I would have another go eventually opting for a 'factory reset' which resulted in me loosing all the channels. For whatever reason I then decided to unplug it (as every solution seems to involve this at some stage), unfortunately all the other cables fell out and I couldn't see where they were supposed to go so went to bed. In the morning I was awoken by a very irate wife from a scene I can only describe as resembling something from the Simpson's, clearly I was Homer!! Anyway I managed to get all the wires back in but can't get English Channels. I have gone through the set up process and while I can get English as the chosen language for the box I am not able to choose UK as the Country (I can choose Germany, France etc) and whilst I can choose Astra 2 from the list of satellites it always goes back to the other European channels, Is it possible that i need an update to the receiver which may have been the case when Astra 2 was launched but I lost when I stupidly pressed the reset button? I did read the manual next morning and it clearly states not to do a factory reset under ANY circumstances!!!! Any advice would be appreciated as June is fed up with the German porn channels!

I am pretty sure it is the sat box receiver that I have screwed up, the sat system is a Roadpro Dome, I will have to have a look at the receiver box and get back to you with the model this evening.

Some road pro's can be reprogrammed via usb. I think the software can be downloaded. Are you able to contact rodapro from where you are?

Some of the women I glance at these days look like they deserve a special category in Antiques Road Show. Look at this corker....

I bet if you check your google search history at about the time you scrambled your satellite receiver it will say something like ‘Fiona Bruce,stockings’
