    Hi all
    On Friday my HD channels were no longer working so i done an automatic scan and only sd channels came in after many scans it's only bringing in a few HD channels, any ideas where i'm going wrong or can i use a usb stick with a channel data file to put in the channels i've downloaded Vhannibal CDF file but do not know how to load, Thanks in advance.

    never used a usb stick before I've only ever used Dreamboxedit to load bouquets,
    just google dreamboxedit guide they are a few going about on youtube,
    or I can e-mail you a set up guide.

    On the last post on that thread the poster says he turned off Fast Scan and did an Auto Scan to get all channels. Try that.

    Hi Mooley the DM800 only has automatic scan which takes around 6-8 mins.

    Uou could just going into the plugins menu and download and new settings list from the server, I'm assuming your box is already connected to the net to view hd channels.

    How high is Signal and Quality? Is the cable from LNB to back of the box in firmly? Just random ideas to be honest!

    totes,on the menu go to maual scan, then frequency and change the numbers to 11797
    and scan the frequency it should only take about 3 seconds and let us know if it picks up any HD channels.
