Have you tried the set up again in the manual or looked at the troubleshooting section?

I have tried many times to set up as per the manual a very basic doc. to no avail. the trouble started when I was adding a ccline into the server setting .there were 4 redundant lines there and I add a5 line. when restarted the pictures came on for about 1 min and then dissapeared. I still have fta channels. the server cclines had all gone and ever thing in the network box including the mac address sorry I should have been editing the question
