Hi lads any 1 have any idea why new Dreambox 500c would not scan? the image loads fine and box boots up ok soon as hit scan it stops at 3 secs..and please dont reply with reflash it thats been done a number of times..

Are you getting any FTA channels working ?

Do you have saved bouquet & services files you cant ftp in ?

no mate none the chanels are gettin thru the image is frm another box that's currently working with all chanels

how are you scanning, net id or bruteforce,

have 3 boxes net id only works on one box, other two boxes get same result as you, 3 seconds then stops.

try bruteforce scan should be ok

Sounds like a goosed box then.

Best you could do is use the box as a server.
