Switched on this morning and was met with the Installation menu, was all fine when put into standby last evening.
Went through with scanning but it can only find Mux on ch. 41, I've tried several times to scan via manual scans and Channel Organiser but no joy.

Andy replaced the Caps around a year ago.

How can I get back to my normal state please?

Thanks All.

Start by unplugging from the mains, and leaving it for a few minutes, to give it a cold reboot.

Unfortunately it hasn't worked Julie.

Thanks for trying to help.

Have you tried a factory reset?

Could it be an aerial fault? Do you have any other device connected to the aerial and if so, is it working on all channels.

Try a manual scan on 41, 42, 44, 45, 47 (Hannington).

Other Toppy's and various tuners on my PC all working fine from the single roof aerial.

I tried manual scan before I posted Andy but it won't scroll beyond 41 so I'm stuck, not many channels I watch on 41, LOL.

Thank You.

Factory reset, reboot, Factory reset again, and then try a scan.

Julie

P.S. You might like to edit your first post to give a more descriptive subject (e.g. Scan only finds channels on Mux 41). "Problem with my Toppy" won't really help anybody else searching the forum for the same problem - they won't know what the problem is.

If you have previously used FastScanGUI, you will only be able to manually scan the channels that it previously selected. In this case, it could be that you are restricted to 41 if you used it to scan one channel.

Doing Resets as indicated above should allow access to the other channels.

Alternatively, if you have a windows pc, you can use TopManager to do the scan for you (no need to factory reset):
1) Install TopManager
2) Connection | Settings - set up a USB (probably) connection
3) Connection| Open
4) Tools| Install files| PcControl
5) Reboot toppy
6) PcControl| Channel Management
7) Select "Identify my Transmitter" in the top combo box and click on the Hannington transmitter
8 ) Perform Scan
9) Right Click; Select "all pay, porn, shopping... channels" and "Delete Selected Channels"
10) Finalize

You should also move PcControl to the start of the tap load order ; see here

Thank you Geoff, I now have all my required channels.

This place is amazing as are the knowledgeable members who help us all out, thank you.

I tried as Julie suggested leaving it on Auto but all I got were channels on Mux 45, BBC channels.

Tried your suggested Geoff and it worked but not sure that the PC Control TAP is at the top now though, I followed your directions, hit Apply, it shows first on the PC list within Top Manager but it doesn't show at the top on the Toppy, have I done something wrong?

Thanks All.

@Ginger

Glad that worked.

PCControl won't show as the first tap until after the toppy has been rebooted. This will happen automatically tomorrow (assuming you are using the MyStuff options to put it into standby overnight - and, if not, you should be!)

Alternatively, you can reboot the toppy, wait 2 minutes and use "Display| MyInfo Log" (PcControl should be in Slot 0).

If you want to paste the MyInfo Log into this thread then
1) Ctrl A (select all)
2) Ctrl C (copy)
3) Reply to this thread and Ctrl V (to paste)
(You can also do the first 2 steps by right clicking in the display and selecting from the popup menu).

Well it is showing in Slot 0 so it is in the correct place.

How are you displaying the order of taps on the toppy? Using the TapCommander tap, they do display in slot order on my toppy.
Note: the "PcControl| TapCommander" doesn't actually use this tap; it just provides similar functionality.

Aha! I'm guessing that you are looking at the files using "Connection| Browse" (TM always displays in alphabetic order).

Hello Geoff,

Sorry it's taken me a few days to reply but have had two small people here in one combination or another since last Wednesday and the smaller one was really poorly.

All seems fine using Tap Commander (I'd never looked at that before) so I won't worry about it.

Thank you for your help and your TAP.

Just need to find out why stuff shown in the Toppy/My Stuff archive doesn't show up the same in Antares.
