    Hi guys

    I’ve got a Nokia DBox2 which I’ve had for a couple of years. I had a problem with it earlier this year but after going on this site, I found a tip which advised me to go to Sky Sports for a couple of minutes and then do something else (which I cant quite remember now) but anyway it worked.

    Recently since about July, most of the channels have gone again except the terrestrial ones and some of the free ones. When I say gone, I mean that when I go to a channel the programme listing comes up but its just a black screen. I’ve tried the Sky Sports method but it doesn’t work (the channel is just a blank screen).

    I’ve tried restarting the neutrino, tried updating but nothing seems to work.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    some times cc change frequency so u lose channels,normally factory reset,then autoscan ur provider chs.found,and with cableboxes emu to on exit exit and maybe it updates.
    as i dont know about ur box it is only a guide to what happens to other boxes.

    Thanks for your reply cactikid. I'll see if there's an option on the box settings to do a factory reset and then autoscan. I'm sorry but I didn't quite understand the second part of your response "cableboxes emu to on exit exit and maybe it updates". If you or anyone else could clarify this for me that would be great and if there are any other ideas that would be good as well.

    Cheers.

    Thanks for your replies bigdunc. Could you tell me where I can get this programme and how to install. Are there any guides or websites I could go to?

    Cheers.

    One other thing, when I go onto a movie channel or some of the other channels, it says "Error this channel is not available".
