    So far so good, I have used Dreamup to Flash the backup.img file. I have done an automatic bruteforce scan. I now have a mix of channels that work and others that say
    most channels have two similar entries, some with an ! in front of the name. Is there a quick way to remove all channels ? I can then repeat the bruteforce scan. Tidy up the bouquets and be finished.

    Morning folks. Just a plea for knowledge here. I have had my box working fine with CGSCOTTS image and 2 friends asked me last night to sort out their boxes. I did them no problem but 1 of the boxes has picked up the recently added channels, ie s-y1,2 and 3 and s-y arts 1+2 and a couple of others, which my box hasnt. They are all dreamboxes. Does anyone have any clues why 1 box picks these up and 2 boxes dont. It has got me flumoxed to say the least. Thanks

    Hi Ash

    The image has been rar'd like winzip. You need to search for a program called WinRAR. This will allow you to extract the file you need.

    Chris I've downloaded ur new image and flashed it via flash wizard, but now I can't seem to get even the basic channels! I've tried rebooting and still nothing, where am I going wrong?

    Thanks markaman. Ive tried rebooting reflashing blue button green button and throwing it from the top of the Liver buildings but it still wont pick up s-y arts 1/2 or s-y 1 2 3 (lol)
    I get all the other channels no problem its the new ones that came online the other week. I cant understand it coz my mates box which I flashed from my house using the same image and cable supply is getting them. I di 2 of them on the same evening with the same techniques and his picks them up and mine doesnt. I was watching Johnny Cash last night on his on s_y arts, now I cant get it. Please does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks, Dave

    On the box which has the channels you are looking for, turn on one of the channels. Go into manual transponder scan. You will see the frequency of the channel. Take a note of the frequency. Do the same for the other channels. Then on the other boxes go into manual transponder scan and enter each frequency in turn & click on search. Make sure you tick the "network search" box. Each search only takes a second.
    I know its a bit long winded but that worked for me.
