Hi I am new to this site, I have joined as I am after some information, I am based in South Yorkshire and my Amiko Mini Box has now lost all subscription channels and when I try to do an FTP Update which would usually sort this issue, there isn't any updates available, can anyone help?
Thanks in advance.

I think you can have iptv on them not too sure though which you would get all the missing sky channels back aswell as keeping the remaining sattalite channels

Hi rob the Amiko won't run IPTV.

If you change your subscription you won't get any more channels than you have already
as Sky changed the encryption on Sports, Films etc.

Most people on sat jumped to IPTV after this happened, some servers are good and you will get all the channels you had plus more.
Some are crap and very glitchy, there are a lot of mixed reviews this is probably the direction everything is heading in though.

Have a look in the IPTV section, I would look at a MAG or Android box, as your old box wasn't Enigma 2 based it can't be converted to use IPTV.

New box I'm afraid.

Appreciate your response, so what would I have to do or what box do I need to buy to get all the channels I once had?
 
If it's an amiko mini combo HD you could set it up as a cable box.
Which still has sports in SD and everything else in HD at the moment
 
Amiko Mini HD SE's became useless since the sky lost a good load of its channels. You can run IPTV off it, but its terrible.
 
If you have Virgin Media broadband and have the "combo" version
of the box, you can just scan for channels and get a cable subscription
very similar to your sat set up.

IPTV look at something like a MAG256 or a decent Android box like a T95Z

You need a decent broadband package approx 20 Mb download speed.

Then you need an IPTV subscription.
 
Need to know exactly which model of box you are using.
When you say you could receive the sky channels, how long ago were they last seen as sky turned them off a year ago, if you were watching them recently, you must be on VM cable?
