Program/subscription options - Mediastar powers HD8200s channels scrambled

[Moustie]

Hey, hope everyone's well!

5 days ago my 2 boxes stop working, (1st box - Arabic + English, 2nd only English) there's no card in them. Some people informed me I may need to update, which I don't think I do; as I have 2.10.29 the 1 with the working epg.

Others have said it's my subscription, if so...What are my options? Any recommendations?

Thanks in advance,

Moustie

Somewhat difficult to determine without details of what services they are and what satellite/s and transponders are used to deliver them.

If it's subscription-based, contact your service provider.

If those decoders have a slot for a SMART card and theres none in them, its unlikely the loss of programing is due to a 'Subscription' problem.
There is a possibility the Satellite operator has changed something that may need an 'upgrade' or the others are the actual program owner has decided to change from a FTA service to an encrypted one but I would have thought that they would have advertised this change so as not to loose prospective customers.

I'd say your server has stopped
Ask the guy you got the boxes from what's going on
