Hi, On Some channels I get the Sound but on Picture Appears, any Ideas using UK02.

Cheers

Do you get this problem with other images or is this the only one you have tried?
Could be a signal problem. Either too high or too low (most likely too low).

Only Tried this Image. But i only happens now and again. anyway of checking the Signal.

Cheers
 
On UK02 image:

Whilst watching a channel, press red button to bring up the EPG menu.
Then press the BLUE button to bring up the Technical Info screen.

Your signal levels are listed as three values:
BER, SNR and SIG.

Post those values on here and we'll take a look :)
 
BER = 0
SNR = 62451
SIG = 29041

I am guessing ber =0 is not good
 
The Last one was a movie channel and this one is MTV Hits

Ber = 0
snr = 62000
sig 32765

tks again
 
No those signals are perfect.
BER is a value for showing the error rate.... 0 is the best you can get ;)

Have you tried your own scan or have you used a services.xml file?
Or maybe even converting your DBOX service file to dreambox?
Which area area you in?

I have done a Auto Scan, Same problem, then Downloaded a Leicester Services.xml for a Dbox and converted this for the dreambox. all Looks ok. Just now and again the channel dont appear but sounds does.

my postcode is le67 2*e
edited postcode so that it doesnt show full address; the old one would directly link you to your road and not good if cc's come on here %
