Problems With Setanta Sports for the Calzaghe / Hopkins Fight?

Question

Hello Everyone, brought a sony tv with a cam slot last week... then brought a setanta cam + one months free sports package yesterday. Activated the card by ringing setanta which was well easy and thus had channel 34 broadcasting setanta as of yesterday and most of today. Turned on around five today to watch the football, and just as it was about to kick off the screen just went blank and at the top of the screen my sony tv tells me that the selected channel program is not tuned !!!

Have tried rescanning, turned off at the wall then rebooted and also took the cam out and placed it back in...made no difference and the signal strength in my area (Kidderminster, Worcestershire) is at the highest point. Can anyone help me on this or if they've had this problem ?

I really need to watch the boxing later and this is just turning out to be a right pain in the you know where....

The cam contained one tutv card btw...

Thanks.

Watching the pre-fight match between Audley overrated Harrison and Jason club fighter Barnett in a total miss-match the only good thing about this fight is the fact touch wood that Setanta is not crackling jumping or freezing like it seems to do when I’m watching the footy, I’m in a really poor reception area in Liverpool so bad sometimes even my booster aerial plug in device doesn't even help, watching through my Sony HD TV with Cam Slot it will do sometimes exactly what you say, they boost the signal strength sometimes right before main sporting events which miraculously turns the channel not tuned into a watchable picture sometimes.  (God this Harrison fight is poor, but great picture at the moment) anyway all I suggest which works sometimes for me is, first turn of at the tv switch make you green power light turn to red wait 1 minute then switch off at the mains wait 30 seconds then switch mains then wait another 30seconds then turn on at the tv switch press 1 on your remote wait till BBC1 comes on then turn to 34 hopefully it will work for u as it has worked for me 90% of the time, re-scan also works sometimes say 80% of the time, (also what helps if your aerial is plugged directly into the TV and not into a your hard drive / dvd or VCR)

Ps word of warning if it is working and you have plugged into a recording device to record the fight because you can’t be bothered staying up like I did for a fight after the David Haye Maccranelli fight staying up all night for a fight that doesn’t live up to expectation being over in a round or two really pi***s me off, anyway not realizing that on freeview Setanta at 3:00am I had to switch manually over to channel 38 so all I recorded was a blank screen while I slept.

Hope u get to see the fight, if it doesn’t work tonight, it might be little consolation but its re-run on at 12:00pm on Setanta normal channel 34 and it might work then.

Good luck Wayne from Lpool & Canada
