No Programme Information on one box

I'm hoping one of you VM experts can help here.

I got a second V+ box a couple of weeks ago and since then I keep getting the no programme information on most channels on the original TV Drive box. Both boxes are SA.

Could this be a signal issue or would a reformat make a difference?

Re: No Programme Information one one box

This is affecting a lot of people at the moment. The cause is under investigation. Rebooting the box should make the problem go away temporarily.

Out of interest, which region are you in?

Re: No Programme Information one one box

I've rebooted it a few times, sometimes some of the channels come back but it doesn't last.

I'm in Uddingston.

So you reckon it's just a coincidence that it started happening on the old box just as I got the new one installed?

Yes. Unless you are taking responsibility for it happening right across the country.

The 2nd box is in the playroom so it must be their fault - they're always tinkering.

I'll ground them both and see if that solves the problem for everybody
