Scan but no images please help :-(

Hi There,

Can anyone help. I plugged in my Sagem Dbox and did a scan for all channels, after an hour it had found all the channels. However, all of them are black and say "channel unavailable" I plugged my brothers box in and it works perfectly...so does anyone know what I can do to get the channels??

Thanks

 

Wot image are you useing the same one
Is your brothers Box a sagem as well Lets know ..........paul

 

Hi,

It's a Sagem. Excatly the same as my brothers. I'm kinda good with these boxes, but I'm sure your a million times better! I got the SPortster de-bugged version if that helps?

Thanks for your reply

 

Wot version of sportster is that mate
Is your box 1 x or 2 x image .........Paul

 

I am 90% sure it's #2

 

Loads of two times images here if you want them

can you set your location on that image via the blue button ..........paul

 

Sorry dude, I dont follow.

I press the blue button and I get up all sorts of different options...what do you need mee to look at?

Try d box button
Service
service scan
Tell me wot it says in there from top to bottom
Who were you with befor vir*in
Wot area are you in
Do you know how to use FTP.........Paul

 

On my Brothers box under EMU selection he just has a red button whereas I have a blue and yellow one as well as the red one.

My 'scan' menu is excatly like his. Sym6599 (Or something like that, for WellyPest as we are in Kent) manual scan 'No' Fast Scan 'No' Transponder and frequency blank and FEC 1/2 Polarization V.

It has been a while since I used FTP (maybe 5 years!) and I am not hooked up to web at home...

I hope you can help, as it's just my luck to spend £110 and get a broken box!

Try your box direct in to the main feed re move any splitters or
Attenutors ......Paul

 

Already tried that dude, still nothing....it's realy annoying because all the channels are there, I jsut can't get any picture or sound.

 

Doed it say channel not availible
Or waiting for time
Is the correcxt time in the LCD..........Paul

 

correct time is in LCD...They all just say channel unavailable...even the free ones

 

Go into emu settings
Make a note of which cam, you are useing now
And try a differant cam
This can do no harm
After changing Give it a few mins to update..........Paul

 

Thanks Dude, the EMU is the only thing I can think of as it appears to be the only difference between my brothers box and mine.

I'll give it a play now and then call it a night I think. Thanks for all of your help it is greatly appreciated. I'm going away for a couple of days now so, I'll come back and let you know if it works in a few days.

Thanks again for all of your help

 

Only take you mins to try all 3 Lets know mate ...........Paul
