    Hoping someone can help me, I'm on Chorus in Munster and using the Box -T, however for the last few weeks I've lost all channels and when I do an automatic scan its not finding any channels. I've typed in the updated codes, turned the EMU key to ON but to no avail. The API Version I have is 5.01e_E, and Boot Version 7. Hoping someone out there might be able to provide me with a solution to this. Thanks in advance.....

    are you getting any free to air channels such as rte1 or euronews(if you are then you have a signal)if not check if your antenna power is switched on,are you sure you have the correct codes for chorus,did you save your codes when you put them in.if if your antenna power is on as is emu,and your code is correct and still no channels you may have a problem with the mmds aeriel.last thing are you sure your on chorus and not ntl(if you have a signal,emu and antenna power on and code saved but no channels then why not try ntl codes.

    On scan you should still receive RTE1 and chanell South as they are not encrypted on Chxxus mmds, if these are not comming through for you you have a signal problem or the tuner in box is goosed, also check that power-supply for ariel is plugged in!

    The most up to date firmware is 8.04e_E.I would think this is not all
    of your problem as you said you are not finding any channels when scanning.Do a factory reset and an automatic scan making sure the antenna power is on.If this does not find anything check all connections going into power supply and coming out.Check if your power supply is warm or if you have a spare cable to connect to aerial outlet on power supply leaving inner core exposed on other
    end.Try touching inner core with metal object(pliars etc) to see if you get a spark.If you don't power supply is more than likely broken.
    If working check cable all the way back to downconverter on aerial.

    sounds like my issue (http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/781102#4735457)

    any solution yet ? Im beginning to think my issue is the tuner is gone on the Box-T ... Has that been seen to happen before ?
