***Disclaimer: Try at your own risk, I have not tried any of this, so I really can not say if it will work or not, brought to you from the ZAAPTV Knowledgebase website.***

As for the box that is continuously rebooting, we have a solution. Please do the following:

(i) Immediately after the box starts reboot, PRESS AND HOLD DOWN THE "OK" KEY for about 20-30 secs(till the screen in (ii) appears).
(ii) A screen with heading "System Diagnostics" will appear.
(iii) In this, there are different options. Select the last option of "Run Previous Software"[Press Stop Key].
Please press the STOP key.

Loosing Channels

Salam everyone,

For the last couple of weeks ZAAPTV has been loosing some Arabic channels. The latest ones we lost are Al-Haya (Egyptian channel) all three of the them. I noticed that while I was searching through the channels a message would pop up saying something in the lines of " Please be patient we are updating our services and we will be adding another 200 channels soon" !!

So I am not sure if that's what's causing these problems or not! Maybe they are just working on adding new channels and in that time taking down some of them. I will send them an email today and let everyone know what their response is.

Here are a couple of tricks to help out, if the icon disappears and the channel is still broadcasting.

If you lost some channels from the front menu, and you recently watched them, try looking through your history and open it from there. Another trick is to Favorite all the channels you like, this way if the icon disappears and the channel is still broadcasting, you can still pull it up and watch it.

Coming Soon... A tutorial on how to connect ZAAPTV to a Windows 7 Media Server

I will be talking in this tutorial on how you can connect your ZAAPTV to a Windows based media server, where all your movies, songs and photos from that computer can be streamed and viewed on your TV using ZAAPTV, very beneficial for those who do not have a computer hooked up to their TV's.

Stay tuned...

Mystery of the missing channels...

Hello everyone,

About three or four weeks ago, 80% of all the Egyptian channels and some others went off-air due to the relocation of these channels on the new Nilesat. So, I emailed ZAAPTV immediately and they confirmed that the reason the channels went down was indeed the relocation of these feeds to the new satellite. I also asked for an estimate on how long will it take to fix it, and they replied back with sometime in November\December.

Just a few minutes ago without any notice nearly all my channels came back to life and a few other new ones. I think these guys worked very hard trying to get all these channels back to us, as promised.

Thanks ZAAPTV.
