    Hi All,

    I have dealt with a number of DBOX's but this is a right pain in the A*SE. We flashed it fine with Sportster Pro (UK Modded) did a service scan and channels where all fine.

    3 Days later i turn the thing off and it wont pick up nothing. I then flashed it and re-loaded sporter on it did a service scan. It finds 36 odd transponders (which usually is great) but then finds no channels at all!

    I got this for an elderly gentleman who is board at home listen to the washing up, dinner making machine (the wife) and this is the only one that i have had that wont work.

    PLEASE anyone that can help have a heart!

    You will be making an old man very happy!

    just a thought but did you save settings after flashing by
    going bacl once on menu and click save settings ,
    apart from that try, getting the the right service file for your
    area might help.
    if not it could be dbox is nacked and wont hold the image

    it loads up the image fine and the cables service files etc are the same as mine and he lives 3 doors away from me so i know they are correct.

    any other thoughts?

    could be a dodgy tuner or cable feed

    why dont you bring your working box over plug it into the cable feed and see if you get the same result or not.

    I did just the same, kept searching and loosing channels

    then I realised it was in radio mode not TV mode

    When I chose TV mode all my channels appeared :)
