re-boot Posted December 21, 2005 Posted December 21, 2005 I'm now just wondering. I've had problems with Channel 7 for the past couple of days - it would show no signal or scrambled. A re-scan didn't help. I've just tried a factory reset, and now there is no channel 7. I don't know about the mechanics of a STB, but could something in the box have died for this to happen, while leaving all the other channels fine and unaffected??
alanh Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 re-boot, There is two basic possibilties. A faulty STB or insufficient or excessive signal. Try another digital receiver on that antenna point.

clipper Posted December 22, 2005 Posted December 22, 2005 A friend has one of the earlier Topfield's, the model is 4000 something. It gives a constant sound glitch and complete picture breakup. Another stb on the same antenna, same AV connections gives faultless digital viewing. Is there a software upgrade for the Toppy?

I have a Topfield 4000 and i had the same problem a couple of months ago. Channel 7 said scrambled or Hd signal. I reset kicked swore and then lost channel nine as well. In the end i went to the bedroom set with my Zinwell box that was working fine off the same antenna{what happened to the great Zinwell boxes?] The next morning i switched on the Toppy and it was working fine.

The Topfield TF3000T was the predicessor to The TF4000T which is already a couple of years old.
