    Ok , this is the last resort to try

    Go to the Eko site and go to the "Starvi*w" folder then "SV Channel Dump" folder and download the "Dublin30122007.bin" to your desktop

    This is the channel file for N*L Dublin and you can load them directly onto your b0x instead of scanning

    Disconnect the SV from your TV and connect it to the PC with the NULL MODEM CABLE and put it on STANDBY

    Open GT ROM LOADER

    Click "Channel Data File"

    Click "BIN File" and locate the channel dump you just downloaded to your PC

    Then click on "Download" and the channels should transfer to your b0x

    Wait till you see the pop up b0x "Download Complete" before disconnecting

    Connect the SV back to the TV and see if you have channels on it now

    No problem , It could be a weak freq in your area for those channels

    I can send you a private message in regards to something else

    You can check your private messages at the top of this site just below the tabs

    Guys, I am having the same problem, I am wondering is there one of these bin files that would work for chorus or would it be the same as the NTL ?

    Thank you !!

    Hi guys. I'm near Dublin. Just bought a "The Box". E Ver 4.500 date 6 July 2007. with HDD. Have NTHell on 2 other cables in home with subs to movies, sports etc. Connect the box to third cable, which works w/o decoder to get analogue signals, after installing HDD and installation tells me no signal, no matter what I try. Have formatted HDD several times. Whe I turn it on box says "init", gets past lannguage on menu to install on TV screen , using SCART cable. No signals found and no channels at all. Remote control doesn't work at all but button on box work. Grateful for pointers on what next?

    Had some success. Used the loop-through cable from cable1 output from cable output to ANT IN. Now have lots of channels but remote control still not working.

    If you have a mobile phone with a camera, switch it to camera mode. Point the remote at the camera lens and press some buttons , and you should see the infra-red LED flashing on the screen. If you don't see it flashing, then yes, the remote is dead.If you do see it flashing, then it's not the remote.

    Hi Celtic

    The problem is that I only get 30 or so tv channels coming through. I can't get BBc or UTV or Channel4 etc. I have tried all the frequencies that I can find and no joy

    Could the quality of the cable coming into the house cause this ?
