Sounds like a do-over, since they totally stuffed up the PR last time around.

Because the certified Zinwell / DSE 7500 units can't tune to the new service without applying a "hackish" fix.

oops!

Ah cool, some of my friends said they've lost Prime on their sat freeview receiver...

Any details of how to get Prime back? Don't think their one is a Freeview approved device unfortunately.

Need to tell the unit to scan transponder 12707 which has the Sky Prime feed on it, which is now unencrypted.




Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

The most sensible way is to go to 12483 H in your transponder add / edit menu set NIT on and CAS FTA only and set it searching

It should zap through all the transponders of freeview+SKY and add all fta's including Trackside and C4 you just need a cleanup at the end of the channel list once the scan has completed

This will work on pretty much ALL free to air satellite recievers
