    Hi Guys,

    You all seem to know your onions so to speak :)

    I'm a novice. I bought my Nokia D-box from a friend but my channels seem to be dwindling.

    I live in Leeds, West Yorkshire and I wondered if anyone could send me an "idiots Guide" so to speak of how to get all or more channels.

    If I don't get it "fixed" my kids say i'm a dead man :)

    Thanks

    Yogi

    Hi Paul

    I have an error message which states the following:

    ! Error
    No channels were found.
    Please copy your services.xml and bouquets.xml.
    Or execute a scan using 1.73 ultra mode.
    Blue button.
    Cryogenic/Sportster menu.
    Sportster mode menu.
    Sportster 1.73 ultra mode.
    Then after the dbox reboots...
    dbox button -> service menu -> channel scan

    Cancel

    It often refers to coloured buttons but my remote doesn't have any coloured buttons!

    Have a good night don't get too drunk........yeah right :)

    btw my msn addy is Yogibairx@hotmail.com and i'm on AOL as Yogibairx if you have AOL or AIM!

    Regards

    John & Mel
