    Did that (SV3NTL03May2008.bin) but no luck.
    Now I have all the channels in the EPG but no video/audio/data for them even RTE.

    I pressed Sig button: level is 85% and quality:95%
    I took out the cable and they both droped to 0%

    I turned on EMU and went to sky sports. It said channel moved please wait for saving but then nothing just black screen. Most other channels do the same.

    Are the keys just for encrypted channels and I dont need to worry about that yet?

    OK sorry cannot comment on keys here as its against rules ;) Looks like your tuner may be faulty. I say this because you have tried all firmwares and even tried it at a friends house.

    Stick with the firmware that gave you the most TPs and try a booster, see if this improves it. Do a factory reset and rescan to clear the CDF you just used.

    Im starting to think it's buggered :)
    It just started acting weird a few day ago I never flashed it before it went nuts. I'll try 8.00 again after a factory reset.

    Thanks for all your help, much appreciated...if I get it going I'll post..

    As Scouser mentioned , try the version that gave you the most TP's and connect it back to your TV and try this

    Menu > Factory Setting
    PIN 0000
    OK to delete

    Turn box off at the back for a minute and turn back on

    English > Installation
    Choose Provider etc
    Automatic Scan
    Press OK
    Channels found
    Exit

    Press Menu then 1570
    Turn EMU key ON

    Exit , exit , exit

    Hey Celtic71
    Did as you said (I used 8.00 gave me TPs 2,3,4,6,7 out of 28)
    automatic scan and 0 program found.

    Does the modulator have anything to do with it the the user setup?

    it's set to pal-g/ch-38

    In user set up the modulator is fine as it is.

    Ok try this

    Menu > Factory Setting
    PIN 0000
    OK to delete

    Turn box off at the back for a minute and turn back on

    English > Installation
    Choose Provider etc
    Manual Scan

    You should now see "Down Freq" , type in 339500
    Symbol Rate = 6887
    Constellation = 64 QAM
    Network Scan = Enable

    Press OK to scan

    Exit back all the way and see if you gain any with that freq ?

    Did that and it did scan but found nothing.
    It has a level and quality of around 80% for those settings.

    I can only exit as far back as the language selection...
    I guess cos I have no channels

    So long story short...

    My box knows there's a signal at certain frequencies but cannot show the picture/sound.

    I guess it IS buggered?

    I saw a guy on Ebay that is selling them in Dublin, I might ask him to fix mine for 50Euro or something... unless anyone got any cheper ideas...

    He said he would look at it for 30 Euro...Do you think I should try him?

    Is there anything else I can do before giving it to him?

    Maybe he wont be able to fix it.. who knows.

    He probably gets his info from here :) Is he thinking of jtagging or is he looking at caps, tuner etc. Or is he going to do what you have already done and charge you?

    yep sc0user. if you wait......you usually get what you want. waiting is annoying but worth it in the end. i could have broke or returned or bricked the box but i waited and it was worth it :)

    returning it is like waiting for a bus and deciding to walk and the bus passes you half way there. annoying lol.
