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!
 
Which were precisely the channels you were trying to find after coming back from the pub................
 
You can get porn on the internet nowadays :xThumb:

So I am told :xblush:

Being serious what make and model of satellite system do you have and what digi box are you using?
 
So just to clarify, all i have to do to get the German porn is hit the factory reset?

Is it the dish tuner or the sat box receiver?
 
I would claim to have been gassed then burgled, then claim for the £2000 cash laying on top of your Rolex and the sat box to be reset by a dealer who knows what they are doing.

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.
 
To be honest I am more interested in antiques roadshow and Time team these days lol
 
So I buy some of them
Do a factory reset
Then put them on ebay as an ‘unlocked german porn receiver ‘
Excellent

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....

Still someone still loves her I don't doubt :xeek:
 
From the look on her face she fancies you too !
 
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’
