    Are you sure your cable feed is still alive?

    the 1st line on the scan transponder is cable
    next line is transponders
    3rd line is frequency
    next line is provider
    next line is channel
    very last line has tv across from that is radio and data beside that and total

    when i do a manual scan it is completely blank and when i do an auto scan it comes up with 188 transponders but at the end it has no channels were found

    Disable fast scan, manual scan and so on and choose the right provider in the provider line.

    If you get absolute nothing via a sym6887 scan there is something wrong with the cable feed or the box. Maybe someone botched the dbox settings.

    Simply use an ftp client, connect to the box, user is root and password dbox2, select the right sub folder and upload the file.
