    Have you powered off/on again mate and rebooted from options?
    Also, if your IPTV deal has expired you'll get 'Stb Blocked' and have to renegotiate!

    yeah mate done that its a Mag 254w1 in settings there is no server option to add a portal
    and on boot up it goes straight to d-tv asking for paying options.there is no way to add
    any other portal. i actually have 2 boxes the other is fine and i add portals now and then
    plus trials n stuff and this 2nd box was to use @ my oldmans place. i could try resetting
    the box ? goin into the bios options what do you think
