Sportser 1.75 image no channels

Hi all

thanks for the previous helprectified the problem.Just a quickie,
I have just reflashed Nokia Dbox2 with Sportster image (as I had it before and went down) but I cannot seem to get any channels now. I have performed a full scan with fast scan off and as the bouquet list had disappeared, asked it create a new one. Should I be doing something else or has v1rg1n media finally blocked Dboxes or do i need to update the cables file??

Many thanks

Are you sure your cable feed is alive.

 

Hi again
not sure if cable signal is alive although it was working fine until this problem arose. however I have encounterd the same problem i was having before where i seem to be in a loop and get access denied when I try to FTP the dbox to alter my cables xml.
Bald and depressed

Upload a services.xml for your area to var/tuxbox/config/zapit, reboot and check if you get the channels.

 

Try this had similar problem to you with VM in NThell area

Managed to get all my channels back by playing around with box.
Sorted it by;

unplug and plugged back box at mains,
go into scan set up
changed cable provider from Cable UK Sym 6887 to Cable UK Sym 6952
(can only think VM are now using Tell*pest settings in NTHell area and visa versa)
New Scan setup
Scan for Services------All Services
Bouquet----------------overwrite Exsisting
Cable Provider---------Cable UK Sym 6952
Fast Scan--------------Off
Manual Scan------------Off
Frequency
Symbol Rate
FEC--------------------3/4
polarization-----------H

When finished it says scan sucessfull. So then home button several time to exit, unplug box from mains and replug it in. Wait for it to reboot up and "HEY PRESTO" Happy Days again found 334 channels and 182 transponders.

So in your case try changing cable provider sym6952 to sym6887

Best of luck....Alan

 

Hi all,
Thanks for the help lads, however done all that everyone has suggested and still no joy even took my box to someone who pays for nthell and still got no joy when scanning. now wondering if something in the box has gone such as tuner or summing. all i know is that i now have no hair left and a grey beard. geeze stress or what, ive now been dealing with this problem for three weeks or more.

Please somebody help me!! and thanks to all who have tried

Did you tried both sym6887 and sym6952 for the scan?

 

Yeah tried three different types symb6952, symb6887 and also bruteforce for uk. All with the same outcome, which makes me wonder if i have a tuning hardware problem.

cheers again to all who took time to help
