UBI UEC box no longer permits FTA channels?? - Mon 20 Dec 2010 02:48:AM
Hey all,
I got a call from my father recently telling me he'd lost access to the FTA channels on Optus D2, that he used to access via the 'Public' option on the UBI box.
I come over and am shocked to find that the 'Signal Detection' screen has gone from 6 'Signal Setup' entries down to 2. The first being the (home) and then a spare. I then discover of the two remaining they are both locked!!, so that you can only enable/disable and change the dish it uses. You cannot change what they scan??
When did this happen and when was it communicated? Although UBI are paid for their paid channels service, they themselves have always allowed this, and provided guides such as giving permission for this feature:

Is UBI going to provide the option to have the box's settings unlocked?
My father is strongly considering disconnecting his service, because as much as he watched the UBI channels, he also enjoyed the FTA channels.
