    Hi BlackDog,

    There is no need to rescan for channels each time , Are you using this from the main feed or a splitter ?

    "No Signal" indicates a problem with your cable provider and not the b0x , Plug your cable into normal TV and see if its ok

    Try another factory setting , turn b0x off for a few seconds , turn back on and select English and continue with Installation , When channels are found exit back to viewing and press Menu then 1570 and turn your EMU key ON

    Do you think maybe there is something wrong with the actual box itself?

    lorr, it is a bad flash is the problem. you have to keep flashing, it'll take a few goes before you succeed. i used my laptop also when i had a bad flash and it would not do it. i then used my pc and had success. i guess my pc had more resources. check back on previous posts regarding bad flashes and you'll get all info needed.

    McCool, i don't think you use lpt1 which is a parallel port but do use a serial port which is a com port.

    did you go into the secret menu? press menu then 1570 and turn the emu key on and the channels should unscramble. Maybe you have done this but jus trying to help incase you havent already done this.

    Hiya, press MENU on the remote control, then press the digits 1570. That will get you in to the SECRET MENU. Then make sure that EMU key is set to ON.
