Hello All,
For anyone who has the free ( probably using the Aston Simber HD Outre Mer and supplied decorder card ) sat reception from New Caledonia, if you haven`t done a Channel search recently it my be worth to do one as there appears to be an additional station on the old lists, its another local from NC - NCTV ( In French ).
If you have also had problems trying to record programmes with the Aston Simba, I think I have a solution, (well it works on my unit anyway ).
To record, open up the upcoming programme menu, scroll up/down side to side to the program you want to record, press the record button, press OK ( a record icon appears in that programmes details ) but then DONT exit , return or anything else... but using the menu scroll button, scroll down to any other programme first and then exit etc. Mine records perfectly now..

Thanks Tony. NCTV has been there for a while. Apart from local programs, it has other shows and segments from TF1 sometimes, so it is not a bad channel.
A few more of the FTA channels from France would be great to see too in future. Heres hoping.

Thank you for the information on how to program recordings on the Aston Simba STB. I will give it a try.
By the way, is your upcoming programme guide accurate? The guide displayed on my Aston Simba correctly shows the current program and the next program, but most of the subsequent future programs are completely wrong. Is it just me?
irritant (05-03-19)
Yes Ichi, my program guide is all over the place too. The guide often does not show programs more than an hour ahead and then suddenly shows a whole evenings worth etc...
I have noticed that programs are sometimes there on the guide and then suddenly get overwritten by something else. I would suspect that this is another reason why recording is difficult to program ahead.
I did try a station reload but that didn`t make any difference. Its a bit annoying.. but hey the picture on this receiver is Great.!!!

Sorry to drag up an old thread. Just wondering if anyone else has lost Caledonia from their Aston Simba box recently?
Mine was working fine up until a few weeks ago.
They have a lot of new TF1 shows now.
I've also lost Caledonia from the Aston Simba box as of Saturday 6/4/2019.
I've ordered another LNB to see if this will correct the Issue.
Also tried resetting the box to factory settings and no go. The box just looks for a signal and goes into a loop/initialization.
looking thru tps on Intel 18 see 11513 at av strength but no 11155 or no France tv
Hello all, I have also lost my reception on my Aston Simba "Autre Mer", and I too thought it was some type of hardware dish problem, but with others having the same problems, clearly it is not.
I have visited the web site of Antelec, the sellers of my unit, in New Caledonia and found ( in French ) that there is a special mention about an upgrade to the Aston system. Following an email request to them in my semi broken French, they have sent me a file for the upgrade with French Instructions.
I am about to give it a go. This file is loaded onto a clean usb stick, and placed in the usb port in the rear of the unit, and then navigated through the Astons menu system to usb upgrade, well thats what it says anyway.
I will go and give it a go and report back later whether it works or not, whether it actually loads the sat settings etc or whatever the results are.

I can concur that:
Retour N Caledonie
CALEDONIA
Retour Polynesia
Retour Wallis et Future
France 24
Have 0% signal on a third party box
It may be an other issues, seems to coincide with the above posts
If u want to go on an expedition get a Land Rover, if u want to come home from an expedition get a Landcruiser!
Bonjour tout le monde, ca marche ! - Its Walking - It Works !!. OK, basically just put the usb stick in the Aston, turned it on, went to the USB upgrade section, pressed the middle selection on the presented menu ( wasn`t quite sure on the French wording concepts then OK, then the same to the top selection just in case and OK. Powered down, pulled the USB Stick, powered up and greeted by one of my favorite shows "Slam". The file (as usual ) is called simba.ast. All the usual stations are there with the addition of Canal+ which of course wants its own encrypted subscribers card.
France TV 11155 changed s/r to 30000
Yeah, after a rescan, i got most back
Working great

Thanks Ippybear, that is really good news.
Would I be able to kindly ask if you could please send me the upgrade file?
Thanks. Can anyone advise if Caledonia is working? I can't get it on my Aston Simba. The file provided by Antelec included it at 11513v 3750.
I can now get France Info though which is good.
