Good Afternoon,
There were some issues on the morning Test today, and this affected all those using Icecrypt (S4000, S6000) on IS-1002, AND HAD NOT CLEARED OUT THE OLD CHANNELS FROM PREVIOUS BROADCASTS.
You will have found that it was not possible to tune into the Test as the receiver was not able to differentiate with the “similar” parameters from previously stored channels. If you attempted and failed to tune this morning, you must perform a Factory Reset (instructions below) ahead of the Test starting at 1700UK later this afternoon.
If you attempted and succeeded this morning, you must check again at 1700 that you still have reception. This is especially true for those of you who tried a different frequency and got a tune: you must check again at 1700
If you didn’t even bother to Test this morning, you must do the Factory Reset before attempting any tune into the Test.
The Test period has been extended by 30 mins and will begin at 1700UK time.
FACTORY RESET
Please consult your handbook and follow the instructions.
If you cannot find it, here are some brief instructions:
Icecrypt 6000
Icecrypt 4000
You can call the Helpline only AFTER you have performed this reset.
On the Helpline 08444 737373 there are now 2x PIN available 270661 and 110688
We are working closely with the vendors of this receiver product to understand what the issue is.
